You are the maya.
So, if you want to
leave anything,
leave
yourself.
If you want to
renounce anything,
renounce
yourself.
And the only way, the
only way to renounce oneself is to celebrate.
Because whenever you
are happy, you are not; whenever you are sad, you are; whenever you are
depressed, you are; whenever you are delighting, you are not.
In bliss, in ecstacy,
you disappear.
In sadness and sorrow,
you again appear.
Watch. When you laugh,
you are not.
In real laughter, you
simply are not.
It comes out from
somewhere you know not of.
It comes from beyond
you.
You don't laugh: when
laughter is there you are not.

Give all your energy to
joy, and fear will disappear.
Ignore fear, don't pay any attention to fear, because the more attention you
pay to it, the longer it will linger on.
Pour yourself totally in the direction from where joy is arising, and fear will
disappear just as darkness disappears when you bring light in. Joy is light.
A joyful heart is very close to the stars. .... The joyful and the singing and
the dancing and the celebrating are creating their paradise by each of their
songs, by each of their dances.
Choose to be divine, choose to be more and more a celebrant, choose to be
festive, so more and more flowers can blossom in your being, and more and more
fragrance can become available to you. Whenever you have the opportunity to
laugh, join; whenever you have an opportunity to dance, join; whenever you have
an opportunity to sing, sing -- and one day you will find you have created your
paradise.

...we go on thinking
that someday in the future we are going to be happy, joyful, celebrating. Bauls
say, "You are fools! If you want to be happy, joyful, celebrating, nothing
is lacking. Right now, this moment, dance, this moment, laugh. This moment is
all there is, celebrate it. People come to me and if I say to them,
"Celebrate your life," they say, "Yes, that's why we have come
here, to learn how to create situations in which we can celebrate." The
situation is already there: trees go on celebrating, birds go on singing. What
do they have? -- no bank balance, no prestige, no power. They are not
presidents or prime ministers. But have you ever seen trees or birds brooding,
worried, thinking of the future? No, they simply live. What has happened to
man?
