and in that way,
we are among the greatest explorers in the world

The Hidden Banner is planted in the temple of the sky;
There the light of the sun and the moon is shining:
still your mind to silence before that splendour.

We stand at that door,
holding the key in our hands
and then, fear grips us —
what if the door actually opens?
we will then have to change, as
all our excuses to keep sleep-walking through life will be instantly taken away
and so, we gently back away from the door
~ Osho on #awakening
