Ripeness
Only if your meditation has brought you a light that shines in every night will even
death not be a death to you but a door to the divine. With the light in your heart,
death itself is transformed into a door, and you enter into the universal spirit; you
become one with the ocean. And unless you know the oceanic experience, you have
lived in vain. Now is always the time, and the fruit is always ripe. You just need to
gather courage to enter into your inner forest. The fruit is always ripe and the time
is always the right time. There is no such thing as wrong time.

Osho A Sudden Clash of Thunder Chapter 6

Commentary:

When the fruit is ripe, it drops from the tree by itself. One moment it hangs by a
thread from the branches of the tree, bursting with juice. The next moment it falls-not because it has been forced to fall, or has made the effort to jump, but because
the tree has recognized its ripeness and simply let it go. When this card appears in a
reading it indicates that you are ready to share your inner riches, your 'juice'. All
you need to do is relax right where you are, and be willing for it to happen. This
sharing of yourself, this expression of your creativity, can come in many ways--in
your work, your relationships, your everyday life experiences. No special
preparation or effort on your part is required. It is simply the right time.

77. We Are The World


When thousands and thousands of people around the earth are celebrating, singing,
dancing, ecstatic, drunk with the divine, there is no possibility of any global suicide.
With such festivity and with such laughter, with such sanity and health, with such
naturalness and spontaneity, how can there be a war?... Life has been given to you
to create, and to rejoice, and to celebrate. When you cry and weep, when you are
miserable, you are alone. When you celebrate, the whole existence participates with

you. Only in celebration do we meet the ultimate, the eternal. Only in celebration do
we go beyond the circle of birth and death.
