This is one of the lovliest articles from Osho-times, just go thru it......


WHAT IS COURAGE?


The greatest courage in this world is to be exactly what your consciousness says to you to be. And the greatest cowardice in this world is to follow others, to imitate others.

Only the courageous can love. Love is the greatest courage in this world because it cannot depend on anything else, it has to depend on a hunch, it has to depend on intuition; it cannot depend on intellect.

The only religion in this world is to be yourself...to respect your existence........but for that courage is needed - courage to be alone, courage to drop the attachment to the crowd, courage to drop ambitions, projections, courage to be a non-entity. Be courageous. Let me repeat the greatest courage in this world is in being Non-ambitious, in being non-seeking.

Courage is not about doing exceptional acts. Its all about daring to live life from moment to moment, in complete innocence and wonder, without planning, everyday.


There is only one courage, and that is the courage to go on dying to the past - not to collect it, not to accumulate it, not to cling to it.
