Sometimes it feels as if my body is aging, but I don’t feel any different inside. Osho, The Dhammapada: The Way of the Buddha, Vol. Your very presence will trigger revolutions in other people's lives.”
You will become a beckoning light, a great herald of a new dawn. And when your inner being is changed and becomes a flame of light, you will become a light unto others too. It will have a different fragrance, a different beauty, a different grace. “If your inner being changes, your whole outer life will be totally different. Put your total energy, focus your total energy, on a single point: the spiritual revolution – because that is a radical change, and other changes can follow that change. Don't waste your life energy on those stupid games. “Don't waste your youthfulness on other ordinary revolutions – political, social, economic. Osho, Snap Your Fingers, Slap Your Face and Wake Up, Talk #27 They were talking about the secrets of religiousness.” They were not talking about chemistry – they have been misunderstood. The alchemists in the past used to call it their search: the search of eternal life and the search for keeping people always young. “To be young is the greatest joy, the greatest bliss that is possible to human consciousness, and to know the secret of eternal youth is the real discovery. Is there really a secret of eternal youth? The more you meditate, the more ageless you become.” That mirror which reflects you is meditation. Find a mirror which reflects you, not the body. “Meditate on the inner being, not on the body. The mirror kills them – continuously meditating on the body. They lose their beauty and their youth quickly. On average, all over the world, they live four years longer than men. And the miracle is, basically they live longer than men, but they age faster. That's why women age faster than men – the mirror. If you go on looking in the mirror, you become the body. “If you are too concerned with the body, you become the body.
If mirrors disappear and nobody talks about your age, and there is no calendar and no time measurement, you will remain young longer…. Are you a child? Are you young? Are you old? The inner space seems to be non-temporal – it is! That's why you become old through others' eyes. “If you look within can you feel the age, how old you are? If you close your eyes and look within, the emptiness within seems to be ageless, without age. So how can we cultivate these qualities in ourselves?
But what if being young has nothing to do with biological age? Qualities like being just oneself, in the moment, spontaneous, exhilarated and excited, can belong to any age, as long as we stay vital, creative and interested in life. Does aging mean growing up or growing old? When we think of being young, we usually think of outer appearances: a beautiful face and a supple body.
