OSHO Meditation Minutes: ACCEPT YOURSELF
Accept yourself --
as you are
and that is the most difficult thing in the world,
because it goes against your training,
education, your culture.
From the very beginning you have been told
how you should be.
Nobody has ever told you
that you are good as you are.
Don't be obsessed with yourself,
but a natural self-love is a must,
a basic phenomenon --
only then, out of that, can you love somebody else.
Accept yourself, love yourself.
Nobody else has ever been like you
and nobody else will ever be like you.
You are simply unique, incomparable.
Accept this, love this, celebrate this.
In that very celebration
you will start seeing the uniqueness of others,
the incomparable beauty of others.
Love is possible only then
when there is a deep acceptance of oneself,
of the other, the world.
Acceptance creates the milieu in which love grows,
the soil in which love blooms.
