Drop all doing

Spirituality, as Osho says, is a flowering. It is the ultimate energetic luxury. Only when things are overflowing with vitality & prana do they bloom. Throughout our day, our energy goes on leaking out - drained out of us by what we do, wasted on small annoyances and petty grievances. People talk just to talk, having no sense of the innate energy of silence. We cannot sit still. We are obsessed with "doing", we cannot stop doing. This is what we have to drop in yoga. Drop the doing. Drop the striving. Find a place to 'just be' in each pose. And then, having dropped all the unnecessary things, you will find you start blooming, as if out of nowhere.
