Melancholy

Q: Why is there so much melancholy in my life?

According to Osho, melancholy visits every life until self-realization—the finding of the Divine. Don’t analyze sadness; that’s psychology’s route. Religion’s remedy is direct: meditate. As with darkness, you don’t study it—you light a lamp. Withdraw energy from the mind and gather it in meditation; when the inner lamp is lit, the aching sense of separation dissolves, wholeness returns, and bliss naturally flowers.

Melancholy

Melancholy graces every life as a precursor to self-realization, urging us not to dissect our sadness but to illuminate our being through meditation; as the inner lamp flickers to life, the ache of separation fades, revealing the bliss of wholeness.
