For me joy comes from being one heart-mind and fully present in the moment. Our intellectual logical linear analytical brain-mind which is much emphasised in our culture and education, do not allow us to follow our intutive heart-mind or nurture our innate potentials/gifts we are all endowed with. So living with joy requires refelctive awareness of what is it we really really enjoy and love, and persistently allow us to grow that passion to become who we want to become. Yet we are conditioned from early age and schooling to fulfill others/social expectation and fit some roles and jobs. It is a tremendous challenge to come out of the rigid social matrix to be who you are! Your own unique expression of love, joy, peace and beauty in this world. So being total and complete and fulfilled is what we all want, but few take the time and effort to discover and realize that! Anyway I absolutely loved OSho's simple yet profound words here!
Cheers
