Harmony Is Meditation

The only secret worth learning in life is the secret of being in harmony
 with oneself, with others, and with existence itself.

 by Osho

Misery is a sign of conflict
Bliss a sign of harmony

Ordinarily people are 
constantly in conflict; they are in conflict with existence, with others, and
 with themselves. This triple conflict is their whole life. Naturally it 
culminates in more and more misery. Misery is symptomatic of conflict. And so is bliss symptomatic of harmony.

Begin with yourself

Not 
being in fight, but being in a kind of love with existence, in deep trust, 
harmony arises. Conflict brings the ego; trust dissolves it. But one has to 
begin with oneself. The first step has to be taken in dropping all the inner 
conflict that has been taught to everybody: fight with yourself. 

So many things have been said to be wrong in you that the natural outcome is
 fight, and in fight only energy dissipates.

By fighting nobody wins

Nobody ever wins, because the other 
part that you are fighting with is you. It is as if you are making both your 
hands fight: there is no possibility of either of them ever being victorious, 
but meanwhile your life is dissipated.

 Both your hands can be together, and then they can do miracles. Body, mind,
 soul, can be together and they can do miracles. All that you have has some 
intrinsic value.

Be in harmony with yourself

Nothing has to be denied, everything has to be accepted, 
absorbed, then one becomes an individual. That is the first step and the first 
is the most difficult.

 Once you are in harmony with yourself, you suddenly find it so easy to be in 
harmony with others, because others only reflect you; they are mirrors. And when 
you are in harmony with others, the third harmony becomes very very simple; it 
comes so silently that one never even becomes aware that it has come. One 
becomes attuned with nature, existence. This triple harmony is what makes you 
aware of God... it is divine.
