“Heaven is here - you just have to know how to live it. And hell too is here, and you know perfectly well how to live it already. It is only a question of changing your perspective, your approach towards life. The earth is beautiful. If you start living its beauty, enjoying its joys, you are in paradise. If you condemn everything, then the same earth turns into a hell - only for you. It is not a change of place, it is a change of inner space. Live joyously, guiltlessly, live totally. And then heaven is no more a metaphysical concept, it is your own experience.” Osho
