A most common myth about meditation is that it’s serious.
You know, many believe that meditation is that it’s all about being stern and rigid. People tend to think that they need to don specific outfits, assume certain postures, and follow a bunch of stringent rules.
Osho has made it very very clear that meditation is about being playful. A truly meditative person can only celebrate. He can have fun.
It’s a refreshing take, isn’t it? One has to be really playful to get the true essence of meditation.
Here’s the thing: playfulness in meditation doesn’t mean acting like a child or being silly.
It’s about having a heart of a child who is playful and sincere, but not serious.
When we are truly playful, something incredible happens: the ego starts to dissolve like magic.
You’re no longer carrying the burden of the past. Or worrying about the future.
You really get the knack of living in the present moment savoring what each moment unfolds for you.
And, yes. This is what meditation is exactly about.
So get rid of the misconception. Meditation is for everyone who loves the adventure of life, like a child.
It can immerse us in the beauty of here and now and celebrate life.
