In this world of consciousness, nothing is so helpful as celebration.
Celebration is like watering a plant. Worry is just the opposite of
celebration; it is just like cutting the roots.
Feel happy! Dance with your silence. This moment it is there –
enough! Why ask for more? Tomorrow will take care of itself. This moment
is too much; why not live it, celebrate it, share it, enjoy it? Let it
become a song, a dance, a poetry; let it be creative. Let your silence
be creative; do something with it.Millions of things are possible because nothing is more creative than silence.
No need to become a very great painter, world-famous, a Picasso. No need to become a Henry Moore; no need to become a great poet. Those ambitions of being great are of the mind, not of the silence.
In your own way, howsoever small, paint. In your own way, howsoever small, make a haiku. In your own way, howsoever small, sing a song, dance a little, celebrate, and you will find the next moment brings more silence.
Once you know that the more you celebrate, the more is given to you, the more you share, the more you become capable of receiving it…. Each moment it goes on growing, growing. And the next moment is always born out of this moment, so why worry about it? If this moment is silent, how the next moment can be chaos? From where will it come? It is going to be born out of this moment.
If I am happy this moment, how in the next moment can I be unhappy?
If you want the next moment to be unhappy, you will have to become unhappy in this moment, because out of unhappiness, unhappiness is born; out of happiness, happiness is born. Whatsoever you want to reap in the next moment, you will have to sow right now. Once the worry is allowed and you start thinking that chaos will come, it will come; you have already brought it. Now you will have to reap it; it has already come. No need to wait for the next moment; it is already there. Remember this.
It is so rare to achieve a moment of happiness, bliss – don't waste it in thinking.
Energy has to be creative. If you don't use it for happiness, the same energy will be used for unhappiness. And for unhappiness you have such deep-rooted habits that the energy flow is very loose and natural. For happiness it is an uphill task.
Only this moment is left, pure, intense with energy. Live it! If it is silence, be grateful. If it is blissful, thank existence, trust it. And if you can trust, it will grow.

"It is not only you, who is
continuously daydreaming; everybody is doing that. Human mind as such is
a daydreaming faculty. Unless you go beyond the mind, you will continue
to daydream. Because the mind cannot exist in the present. It can
either exist in the past or in the future. There is no way for the mind
to exist in the present. To be in the present is to be without mind.
"You try it. If there is a silent moment when no thought is crossing your being, your consciousness, when the screen of consciousness is absolutely unclouded, then suddenly you are in the present. That is the moment, the real moment – the moment of reality, the moment of truth. But then there is no past and no future.

future."
"Ordinarily, time is divided into these three tenses: past, present,
future. The division is basically wrong, unscientific. Because present
is not part of time. Past and future only are parts of time. Present is
beyond time. Present is eternity.
"Past and future are part of time. Past is that which is no more, and future is that which is not yet. Both are non-existential. Present is that which is. The existential cannot be a part of the non-existential. They never meet, they never cross each other's way. And time is mind; past accumulated is what your mind is.
"What is your mind? Analyze it, look into it. What is it? – just the past experiences piled up, accumulated. Your mind is just a blanket term, an umbrella term; it simply keeps, holds, your whole past. It is nothing else. If by and by you take your past out of the bag, the bag will disappear.
"If past is the only reality for the mind, then what can the mind do? One possibility is that it can go on chewing, re-chewing the past again and again. That's what you call memory, remembrance, nostalgia. You go again and again backwards; again and again to the past moments, beautiful moments, happy moments. They are few and far between, but you cling to them. You avoid the ugly moments, the miserable moments.
"But this you cannot do continuously because this is futile; the activity seems to be meaningless. The mind creates a 'meaningful' activity – that's what daydreaming about the future is.
"The mind says, 'Yes, past is good, but past is finished; nothing can be done about it. Something can be done about the future because it is yet to come.' So you choose out of your past experiences those which you would like to repeat again, and you drop experiences that were very miserable, painful; that you don't want to repeat in the future.
"So your future dreaming is nothing but past modified, better arranged, more decorated, more agreeable, less painful, more pleasant. This your mind goes on doing. And this way you go on missing reality.
"Meditation simply means a few moments when you are not in the mind, a few moments when you slip out of the mind."
