Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them.

This quote speaks deeply to the nature of existence itself. Life, in its essence, is a flow, much like a river that effortlessly winds its way through the landscape. It is in perpetual motion, always changing, always evolving. When you observe nature, you see that it does not hold onto any state too tightly; seasons change, flowers bloom and wither, and the day gives way to night. All these things happen with a beautiful, effortless grace.

To resist change is to resist the very nature of life. It is as futile as trying to hold back the waves of the ocean with your hands. Instead, Osho encourages you to dance with these changes, to embrace them as part of the dynamic play of existence.

You see, the mind has a tendency to seek stability, to cling to the known, to the familiar patterns that give a sense of safety. But the known is the past, and life is always in the present, moving into the unknown future. By resisting change, you are attempting to live in the past – a past that no longer exists except as a memory.

When Osho says do not resist changes, he is not suggesting that you become passive or fatalistic. Rather, be active in your non-resistance. Participate in the changes, understand them, learn from them, and use them for your inner growth and transformation. Each change is an opportunity to let go of what is no longer serving you, to make way for the new, to explore and express new aspects of your being.

To navigate through life’s spontaneous changes, cultivate an inner flexibility, a grounding in your being that allows you to flow with the changes rather than be uprooted by them. In this way, you align yourself with the dynamic rhythm of life, and every change becomes a step on the path of your evolution, a dance in the grand cosmic dance of existence.

Life is playful, it is a leela, a dance. It invites you to participate with a full heart, without holding back, without fear. When you do so, you will find that life carries you in ways you could never have imagined, that when you trust in the flow of life, you are supported, nurtured, and guided by the whole.

Join this dance and you shall find a freedom and a joy that the fearful mind could never provide.
