Joy to the World

Whilst reading "The Book of Understanding" by the incomparable Osho I came across the following joyful message:

"Joy arises only in creating joy for others; there is no other way. The more people you can make happy, the more you will feel happy. This is the real meaning of service. This is the real meaning of being religious: help peple to become happy, help people to become warm, help people to become loving. Create a little beauty in the world, create a little joy, create a little corner where people can celebrate and sing and dance and be, and you will be happy. Immense will be your reward."

I don't know what I can add to this deep wisdom. Now that we know the secret of a life of happiness and joy -- what are we waiting for?
