even in hell we are going to have a good time

[meera]

TRY TO LIVE HERE NOW, as totally as possible.

AND THE PARADISE IS NOW-HERE. If there is a paradise after death, certainly you will inherit it, because you will have already practiced for it.

AND DON'T BE WORRIED even if you are thrown into hell because you have been with me. I will be with you there, and we can create a great commune in hell!

AND IN HELL THERE ARE ALL THE COLORFUL PEOPLE. In heaven there are only sad, long faces... saints, dry bones, no juice, nothing. In paradise there is not even a single newspaper, no movie, no film actors, no poets, no painters. All the geniuses are in hell.

SO IF WE END UP IN HELL, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A GREAT TIME. If we end up in paradise, we are still going to have a great time, teasing those idiotic saints, teaching them how to dance, how to sing... Because for eternity, what are you going to do?

If it was hell, you would not enjoy it. I am surprised that Osho accepts the common understanding of hell and heaven, simply the idea that heaven is boring like a convent and hell is perhaps like a disco with drug traffic.
