Live Dangerously
Put everything at stake. Be a gambler! Risk everything, because the next moment is not certain, so why bother? Why be concerned?
Live dangerously, live joyously. Live without fear, live without guilt. Live without any fear of hell, or any greed for heaven.
Just live!
You have to drop the calculating mind. You have to risk. You have to live dangerously.
Remember one thing: never forget the art of risking – never, never. Always remain capable of risking. Wherever you can find an opportunity to risk, never miss it, and you will never be a loser. Risk is the only guarantee for being truly alive.
People will have to change their whole life pattern. Don’t make your tomorrow predictable. Expect nothing and be ready for everything.
That’s what I mean when I say Live dangerously.

wow .. could we differ more
Osho could be right .. may be for people who have nothing to loose .. but for ordinary mortals these things have no day to day significance. Makes no sense asking a father, the only working member of a needy family, to risk everything, because he has people to answer to. There always are dependencies which make people NOT take risks. I don’t belive such philosophies apply to anyone other than people who dwell in seclusion, in the name of independence, and believe that they don’t have to answer to anyone.
Fear makes you conscious of what you do. A fearful person would make better decisions because he is afraid of the consequences. Guilt makes sure that you don’t repeat mistakes.
Risk is inevitable in some cases, but risking should’nt be the Mantra of Our Lives.
