Harmony With Life Quotes

“Man can exist either in conflict with existence or in harmony with existence. Man can exist either as an enemy to existence or as a friend to existence. For existence it is the same. Existence is neither inimical to you nor friendly. Existence is simply available.
Existence simply reflects you, existence echoes you. Existence is a mirror to your face.
The whole thing depends on you. If you are inimical you will see your own face in nature.
To be a seeker of truth means to choose to be consciously a friend with existence. When
you start looking at existence in love, truth, a deep harmony arises with the trees, with the animals, with the sun, with the wind, with people and with the stars.
Step by step it goes on spreading in your life, and a moment comes when you are no more and you disappear into the whole. That makes a deep joy happen, which is our deepest thirst and longing. That is what everybody is searching for consciously or unconsciously. The key is to be in harmony with existence.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Meditation: A Love Affair with the Whole - Thousand and One Flowers of Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Freedom, Beauty and the Divine

“God is not a goal, nirvana is not a goal, enlightenment is not a goal, it is not an achievement -- just the contrary. When you have forgotten ALL goals, when you have dropped the whole achieving mind, enlightenment is -- enlightenment is a state of no-mind.

And enlightenment is nothing special. It is the most ordinary, natural phenomenon. It looks special because you make a goal out of it.

You will have to learn ways of relaxing in the present. Enlightenment is not an effort to achieve something. It is a state of effortlessness. It is a state of no-action. It is a state of tremendous passivity, receptivity. 

and you are suddenly at home. Nothing is being missed. You are part, an organic part of this tremendous, beautiful whole. You are relaxed in it, surrendered in it. You don't exist separately -- all separation has disappeared.

A great rejoicing happens, because with the ego disappearing there is no worry left, with the ego disappearing there is no anguish left, with the ego disappearing there is no possibility of death any more. This is what enlightenment is. It is the understanding that all is good, that all is beautiful -- and t is beautiful as it is. Everything is in tremendous harmony, in accord.

The stars are in accord with the grass leaves, the earth is in accord with the sky, the rivers are in accord with the mountains. Everything is in such accord that existence is an orchestra. Everything is rhythmic, in tune. Existence is music. That experience is enlightenment. And you are not separate from it like an observer, like a spectator. The observer and the observed are one, the seer and the seen are one -- you are it!

It is a great participation. You have fallen into she whole and the whole has fallen into you. The drop has dropped into the ocean and the ocean has dropped into the drop. It is impossible to say anything more about it. It is impossible to say, in fact, anything about it. It can only be experienced.”
― Osho, The Fish in the Sea is Not Thirsty
