Life is playfulness, fun, because the whole existence is a tremendous circus. It
is all fun–all the colors of the flowers, so many beautiful animals, birds,
clouds, and for no purpose; they don’t serve any purpose. There is no goal to
life. Life is a play unto itself. It is sheer abundance of energy, overflowing
energy–existence goes on expanding. ~Osho
Life is a verb. Life is not a noun, it is really “living” not “life.” It is not love, it
is loving. It is not relationship, it is relating. It is not a song, it is singing. It is
not a dance, it is dancing. See the difference, savor the difference. ~Osho
Unless your life arises from your spontaneity, from your very empty heart, it is
going to be just superficial. ~Osho
We have buried so much of the delicate magic of life. ~D. H. Lawrence

Wilde

To be alive in this beautiful, self-organized universe–to participate in the
dance of life with senses to perceive it, lungs that breathe it, organs that draw
nourishment from it–is a wonder beyond words. ~Joanna Macy
What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across the grass
and loses itself in the sunset.
~Crowfoot
Whoever loves true life, will love true love. ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Between the worlds
life hovers like a star,
twixt night and morn
upon the horizon’s verge.

composed of the same particles. ~John Tyndall
To live is to be willing to die over and over again. ~Pema Chodron
Every experience is a paradox in that it means to be absolute, and yet is
relative; in that it somehow always goes beyond itself and yet never escapes
itself. ~T. S. Eliot
Life is like stepping onto a boat that is about to sail out to sea and sink.

~Nirmala
Cease trying to work everything out with your minds, it will get you nowhere.
Live by intuition and inspiration and let your whole life be a Revelation.
~Eileen Caddy
As soon as the mind pulls out an agenda and decides what needs to change,
that’s unreality. Life doesn’t need to decide who’s right and who’s wrong. Life
doesn’t need to know the “right” way to go because it’s going there anyway.
~Adyashanti
When we say something should or should not have happened, we’re arguing
with what did happen or what is happening. When we argue with life, we lose
every single time–and suffering wins. ~Adyashanti
Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope
with it is what makes a difference.~ Virginia Satir
Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson
afterward. ~Chinese proverb
Between the banks of pain and pleasure the river of life flows. It is only when
the mind refuses to flow with life, and gets stuck at the banks, that it becomes
a problem. By flowing with life I mean acceptance– letting come what comes,
and go what goes. ~Nisargadatta Maharaj
Life can be really and truly simple if we don’t fight it. ~Ramesh Balsekar
I create my own security by trusting the process of life. ~Louise L. Hay
At the end of life you should be able to say, “Yes, the sun came, and the rain.
I’ve been enriched by life’s experience. The harvest has been abundant.”
~Ashokananda
Forget about your life situation and pay attention to your life. Your life
situation exists in time. Your life is now. Your life situation is mind-stuff. Your
life is real. ~Eckhart Tolle
To say Yes to life is at one at the same time to say Yes to oneself. ~Dag
Hammarskjold
For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin–real life. But
there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through
first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then
life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.
~Alfred D. Souza
Life has beauty and a joy that transcends all the darkness that surrounds us,
that something ineffable lives beyond the ordinary affairs of the day, and that
without this mystery our lives would not be worth living. ~Kent Nerbern
To live and let live, without clamor for distinction of recognition; to wait on
divine Love; to write truth first on the tablet of one’s heart–this is the sanity
and perfection of living. ~Mary Baker Eddy
The spiritual process is not about moving away from life. It is to use
everything in life not to entangle yourself but to liberate yourself. ~Jaggi
Vasudev
The path to your destination is not always a straight one. We go down the
wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn’t matter which road we
embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark. ~Barbara Hall
Life is like an ever-shifting kaleidoscope–a slight change, and all patterns
alter. ~Sharon Salzberg
Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that
shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined. ~Deepak Chopra
Life is a series of doors closing and opening. We walk from room to room
having different experiences. It is all part of life, and we need to know that we
really are safe. It is only change. ~Louisa L. Hay
Each moment is the moment that needs to be happening. Each experience we
have is the divine invitation. It may be a beautifully engraved invitation, or it
may be a very fierce invitation, but each moment is the invitation. I couldn’t
possibly emphasize this more: the texture and flow of our lives, from moment
to moment, is itself what reveals freedom. Life itself shows us what we need
to see through in order to be free. ~Adyashanti
Mind guesses. Life knows. ~Dr. Vijai Shankar
Life begins where fear ends. ~Osho
