According to Osho, living in the past—whether replaying wounds or savoring old joys—disconnects you from the only reality there is: the present. Past is memory, future imagination; roots and flowers grow only here-now. Re-living pain doesn’t strengthen, and reminiscing doesn’t bring happiness. Real bliss arises by inhabiting each moment totally, squeezing its full juice, so life becomes ever richer, moment by moment.
Don’t dwell on old hurts or glories; pay full attention to what’s happening now, and joy will naturally grow.
