If jealousy disappears and love still remains, then you have something solid in your life which is worth having.- Osho

Nobody else is responsible - only you and you alone. If you suffer it is because of you, if you feel blissful it is because of you. You are your hell and your heaven too.- Osho

That is the simple secret of happiness. Whatever you are doing, don’t let past move your mind; don’t let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet.

Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.- Osho

Meditation is an effort to get rid of personality and to reach to your living sources of life, your individuality, your flame.- Osho

Only authentic human beings can create a society which will be joyous, ecstatic, and in the real sense, human.- Osho
-
Life has no meaning. Rejoice! It has no meaning. Dance, sing, enjoy! It has no meaning. You need not be serious. It is a cosmic joke.- Osho
-
Freedom is a ladder: one side of the ladder reaches hell, the other side touches heaven. It is the same ladder; the choice is yours.- Osho
-
Love is the only miracle there is. Love is the ladder from hell to heaven. Love learned well, you have learned all. Love missed, you missed your whole life.- Osho
-
Being playful is one of the great secrets of inner transformation. Learn to be playful. If all seriousness disappears from your life, you are religious.- Osho

The ocean is not far away. But your ego is a frozen block - it needs melting. Love melts it, fear makes it more frozen, trust melts it. All that the people who are trying to find themselves have to do, is remain melted and allow the river to move on its own. You should not be the guide. The river needs no guide. Its very nature is to reach to the ocean. It is not an effort, it is its intrinsic quality.- Osho

If you love a person, you accept the total person. With all the defects. Because those defects are a part of the person.

-
Mind is a continuous thirst for more. It never finds fulfillment.- Osho

-
When you are utterly present in this moment, when you don't have any past and don't have any future ... when this cuckoo calling, this train passing, this dog barking, is all ... when THIS is all and there is no that, when the word 'here' is your whole reality and there is no 'there', when now contains all time and there is no then ... then you are in the state of samasati.- Osho

-
My Message is very Simple. Live life as dangerously as possible. Live life totally, intensely, passionately, because except for life there is no other God.- Osho

If you are absolute without mind, just pure consciousness, time stops completely, disappears, leaving no trace behind.- Osho

My function is very different from the function of Gautam Buddha. His function is only a small part of my philosophy.

I want to emphasize the point that if a man can have ninety years of physical age and thirteen years of mental age, the vice versa is also possible, and should be made possible. A thirteen-years-old boy can have the mind and mental age of a ninety years old man. And that will be the day of rejoicing, when your mental age is ahead of your physical age. That is the beginning of a superman, the beginning of the new man, a new humanity.- Osho

The only courage is to live life totally; there is no other courage.- Osho

Nobody can say anything about you. Whatsoever people say is about themselves. But you become very shaky, because you are still clinging to a false center. That false center depends on others, so you are always looking to what people are saying about you.- Osho

Why limit yourself to small things! When the whole is available, only stupid people will cling to small things. Be oceanic!- Osho
-
All that you need is just to be silent and listen to existence. There is no need of any religion, there is no need of any God, there is no need of any priesthood, there is no need of any organization. I trust in the individual categorically. Nobody up to now has trusted in the individual in such a way. So all those things can be removed. Now all that is left to you is a state of meditation which simply means a state of utter silence. Even the word meditation makes it look heavier. It is better to just call it a simple, innocent silence.- Osho

A single moment of love is equal to the whole eternity of love.- Osho

I also teach you to love yourself first. It has nothing to do with ego. In fact, love is such a light that the darkness of the ego cannot exist in it at all.

Let the light dispel your inner darkness, your inner weakness. Let love make you a tremendous power, a spiritual force.- Osho

To me, this is religion - enjoying the air, enjoying the sea, enjoying the sand, enjoying the sun—because there is no other god than existence itself. Zorba the Buddha, on the one hand, is the end of the old man—his religions, his politics, his nations, his racial discriminations, and all kinds of stupidities. On the other hand, zorba the Buddha is the beginning of a new man—a man totally free to be himself, allowing his nature to blossom. There is no conflict Zorba and Buddha. The conflict been created by the so-called religions.- Osho

A real religious man is one who has no past, who has no autobiography, who is continuously new, each moment slipping with GOD. He does not bother – what has happened, has happened – finished! Put a full stop it, and never look back. Go on...he is always calling you ahead, and ahead. He is always persuading you to move into new territories of being: from lust to love, from love to prayer - and there are higher realms than prayer. And he is constantly on the move. If you follow him, the only way is to be constantly on the move. Be a river.- Osho

-
Never ask for sympathy. Be happy and love will be flowing towards you. Love is the right coin; sympathy is the wrong coin. It looks like love, it is not love.- Osho

-
Freedom is the ultimate value in the human soul.- Osho
-
Only a blind man can easily define what light is. When you do not know, you are bold. Ignorance is always bold; knowledge hesitates. And the more you know, the more you feel that the ground underneath is dissolving. The more you know, the more you feel how ignorant you are.- Osho
-
I am not a psychoanalyst. I am not here to treat your minds and cure them. I am here to bring you out of your minds - healthy, unhealthy, neurotic, non-neurotic, it doesn't matter.

Respect life, revere life. There is nothing more holy than life, nothing more divine than life.- Osho
-
If you want to learn anything, learn trust – nothing else is needed. If you are miserable, nothing else will help – learn trust.

-
I am not a messiah, and I am not a missionary. And I am not here to establish a church or to give a doctrine to the world, a new religion, no. My effort is totally different: a new consciousness not a new religion, a new consciousness not a new doctrine. Enough of doctrines and enough of religions! Man needs a new consciousness. And the only way to bring consciousness is to go on hammering from all the sides so that slowly slowly chunks of your mind go on dropping. The statue of a buddha is hidden in you. Right now you are a rock. If I go on hammering, cutting chunks out of you, slowly slowly the buddha will emerge. It takes time.- Osho

No relationship can truly grow if you go on holding back. If you remain clever and go on safeguarding and protecting yourself, only personalities meet, and the essential centers remain alone.

Two false persons go on meeting, and the two real persons remain worlds apart.- Osho
-
I am crazy, but you are crazier! And that is the only bond between us - I am crazy, you are crazier.- Osho
