Celebrating Life

Hi people, I'm home again after two months in my country home spent in total relax, going to the sea, sun bathing, meditating, eating delicious natural food, chanting devotional songs, experimenting with sacred plants, sitting by holy fires, having wild night parties and good and inspiring times with all the brothers and sisters of my spiritual family.
When one realizes that it's possible to get insights and deep spiritual teachings from everything, even from things and situations normally considered way far from 'spirituality', the usual 'differences' - high/low, funny/serious, sacred/profane, etc. - magically disappear and one can celebrate life in every aspect, seeing the Divine in every little things and realizing that "All is One" and "God is harmony"...indeed.
Lately I deeply resonate with Osho when he says that the perfect spiritually realized human being is "Zorba the Buddha", the man able to realize the union with God fully enjoying - without mental attachment and with a conscious attitude - the simple material pleasures and continually celebrating life.
This is the tantric way, the spiritual path where one doesn't try to negate his own material desires and inclinations but uses them like an initial trampoline towards spiritual attainments and self-realization. Effectively it's a very difficult and even dangerous path since one can loose himself along the way: the border between liberation and self-delusion and perdition is very thin...It's a perilous spiritual path, but it's the only one I know...
