Osho on Meaning of Life

Why can't I see any meaning in life?

Osho:

Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.
Meaning has not to be discovered: it has to be created.
You will find meaning only if you create it.
It is not lying there somewhere behind the bushes, so you can go and you search a little bit and find it.
It is not there like a rock that you will find.
It is a poetry to be composed, it is a song to be sung, it is a dance to be danced.
Meaning is a dance, not a rock.
Meaning is music. You will find it only if you create it. Remember it.
Millions of people are living meaningless lives because of this utterly stupid idea that meaning has to be discovered.
As if it is already there.
All that you need is to just pull the curtain, and behold! meaning is here.
It is not like that.
So remember: Buddha finds the meaning because he creates it.
I found it because I created it.
God is not a thing but a creation.
And only those who create find.
And it is good that meaning is not lying there somewhere, otherwise one person would have discovered it -- then what would be the need for everybody else to discover it?
