Be no more, and let the mystery be so total that you are absorbed in it. Meditation means: dissolve yourself before that mystery, annihilate yourself before that mystery, disperse yourself before that mystery. And whenever you find that a mystery is there, meditate on it.
Wherever you look - in the white clouds, in the stars in the night, in the flowers, in a flowing river - wherever you look, look for the mystery. Mind tries to find explanations once an explanation is found, the mystery is dissolved. Mind creates science just to kill every possibility of life.
To make everything certain is a deep urge in the mind because mind is afraid of life. Man has two possibilities: mind and meditation. All that is life-negative - hate, anger, jealousy, violence, war - is born out of the mind. All that is creative, all that is life-affirmative, is born out of meditation. Meditation is the mother of art, music, poetry, dance, sculpture. Everything that is of authentic value in life has arisen out of meditation. Now and here: these two words are the most significant words in the human language they represent reality. Life knows only one space, and that is here. Life knows only one moment, and that is the present. Life is not a problem but a mystery, which is how religion takes it. Once life is a problem there is no solution to it. Philosophizing is wrong, because philosophy takes the wrong basic step of thinking of life as a problem. 
There are no right philosophies: there cannot be. That’s how philosophy moves - and that’s how philosophy always moves wrongly. Once you think life is a problem it can never be solved.
Life should not be taken as a problem. And unless your life becomes a feast and a festival, remember: you have not done the thing you have come for on this earth. Love transforms your life into a festival of lights. Life is not a fasting, it is a continuous feast - a celebration, a festival of lights. You need not search for meaning, you have just to live it, enjoy it. Life is an absurdity - it is a mystery. In a single moment of total intensity, the whole eternity opens its doors to you, you are welcomed by God. Only then it happens sometimes that in a single moment of intensity the whole life is revealed. That gift is given only to those who have lived really intensely, who have burned their torch of life from both the ends together. This moment, here and now, is the time to taste life.
