“Remember that when you leave the world, you can die in contentment only if you have made this world a little more worth living in, a little more meaningful, with a little more dancing, celebrating. If you have added a little festivity to it, a little laughter, a little sense of humor, if you have been able to light a small lamp of light and you have been able to disperse a little darkness from the world, you will die in utter joy – you are fulfilled, your life has been of fruition and flowering. Otherwise people die in misery.”
― Osho, The Secret of Secrets: The Secret of the Golden Flower

So my atoms and your atoms were certainly together then, and, who knows, probably smashed together several times in the last 13.7 billion years.

“Even emptiness can become a thing. That’s what happened in Buddhist philosophy: philosophers started talking about emptiness as if emptiness were God, as if emptiness were the very substance of life.

In nature, only the positive exists. The negative is man’s invention.”
― Osho, The Secret of Secrets: The Secret of the Golden Flower
