If the only prayer you say in your whole life is “Thank you”, that would suffice. Becoming friendly with the present moment is the only spiritual practice you really need.

Each day brings its own problems, its own challenges and each moment brings its own questions. And if you have ready-made answers in your head you will not be able even to listen to the question. You will be so full of your answer, you will be incapable of listening. You will not be available. – Osho

You, in your fundamental existence, are the total energy that constitutes this universe, playing that it’s you. Playing that it’s this particular organism, and even playing that it’s this particular person, because the fundamental game of the world is a game of hide and seek.

People have not been taught the art of living beautifully, the art of being graceful, the art of being silent, meditative.

The taste of your being is truth. The beauty of your being is the beauty of existence. The silence of your being is the language that existence understands. And just to be settled in being, you have come home. At ease, you sit silently within yourself. A great hidden splendour is revealed to you: you are not separate from reality, you are one with it. The trees and the moon and the stars and the mountains are all part of one organic unity – you are part of this existence. – Osho

Meditation happens whenever you can find the experience for just being and drop all doing. Thinking is also doing, concentration is also doing, contemplation is also doing. If even for a single moment you are not doing anything and you simply are, just being, that’s what meditation is.
