Osho - Acceptance
Tathagata is one of the names
given to Gautam the Buddha. It means one who lives in the suchness of life—who
accepts whatsoever is the case, who accepts everything totally. Even death is
absolutely accepted because his trust in existence is infinite. It knows no
bounds, it is unconditional. To accept all is the highest peak of meditation — all
the sweetness of life and all the bitterness of life, with equanimity,
choicelessly, with no likes, no dislikes.
Once this starts happening you
become a rejoicing, you become a serenity, you become utter silence — and a
silence which is not dead, a silence which sings, a silence which dances, a
silence which is not empty, a silence which is overfull.
This is going to be your
method: Learn to accept life as it comes. When something happens, accept it;
when it disappears, accept it. When pleasure comes, accept it; when it
evaporates, accept it. And the same with pain.
Remain non-judgmental, just a
silent witness to all. This is the most profound secret of all the Buddhas, of
all the awakened ones.

Man Is An Island' by Osho
