Accept impermanence from "summary" of The Secret of Secrets by Osho
Impermanence is the nature of life itself. Everything is constantly changing, flowing, moving. Nothing remains the same. This is the essential truth that we must accept if we are to find peace and fulfillment in our lives. When we resist impermanence, when we cling to things as they are, we cause ourselves unnecessary suffering. We create a sense of attachment, of possession, that only brings us pain when things inevitably change. But when we accept impermanence, when we embrace the fact that nothing lasts forever, we free ourselves from this suffering. Accepting impermanence does not mean resigning ourselves to a life of chaos and uncertainty. It means recognizing the beauty of change, of growth, of transformation. It means living in the present moment, fully appreciating what we have while we have it, without fear of losing it. When we accept impermanence, we learn to let go of our attachments, our expectations, our desires. We become more open, more flexible, more resilient. We are able to adapt to whatever life brings us, to flow with the river of existence rather than fighting against it.- Accepting impermanence is a practice of surrender. It is a surrender to the natural order of things, to the rhythm of life itself. It is a surrender that brings us freedom, peace, and joy. When we embrace impermanence, we find a deep sense of serenity, a profound connection to the ever-changing universe in which we live.
