Rainbows Quote by Osho
““The whole world may say there is light and there is rainbow in the sky and the sun is rising, but if my eyes are closed what does it mean to me? The rainbows, the colors, the sunrise, the whole thing is non-existential to me. My eyes are closed, I am blind. And if I listen to them too much, and if I start believing in them too much, and if I borrow their words and I also start talking about the rainbow that I have not seen, about colors which I cannot see, about the sunrise which is not my experience, I may be lost in the forest of words.””
