Life is celebration. You must grab and use every opportunity, everyday, to celebrate and be grateful. How can celebration happen? Celebration cannot happen by just putting flowers and balloons; it has to happen from within. What are the qualifications and conditions needed for celebration to happen? Have you thought about it?

I want you to remember one thing, you are a diamond; maybe, in a garbage-can!

If a diamond is in the garbage can, will you throw it? No, you will just pick it up and wash it. All these practices that you do, is just washing the diamond, that's all! How long does it take for you to wash the diamond? Do you need to scrub it hard? No, just a little bit of water; maybe a pinch of soap. In the way, 'So Hum, So Hum', that's it, then the diamond is pure again. Intrinsically we all are pure by nature; but the moment you feel this, that you are pure, your heart is pure, you don't wish anything bad for anybody on this planet or any other planet, then you are love.

This doesn't mean that you should not get upset, you should not get angry; you should not do all that you are doing. Or you should be goody-goody all the time and you should not scorn at somebody; no, you can do all that! Whatever you need to do in your day-to-day life, you do all that. However, realize that you are much more than the actions that you do. You are much more than your situations, your surroundings, your thoughts, your emotional patterns. You are much more than what you think about yourself. Again and again, recognize this, 'I am a diamond, but unfortunately, I have fallen into a garbage can. Now I am getting out of it, and washing myself!' Whomsoever you think about, you imbibe their qualities in you. So, when you think about a blossomed, witness consciousness of a higher order, you suddenly feel the purity within you and around you. This is so scientific and true.

Everyone's consciousness is so rich and filled with all the good qualities. You don't need to borrow it from outside, it is already there. It just needs a little bit of nourishment. Like a lotus flower; all the petals are already there, it simply needs to blossom, open up, and show its glory. Similarly, every single individual has these qualities.

So, celebration happens with silence, with a sense of purity, and with a sense of sharing.
