I'm not giving you another dream, remember. You hanker for it, you would like me to give you another dream, but I am not going to give you another dream. That's why to be with me is difficult and arduous - because I am insisting that you wake up. Enough is enough. You have dreamed a lot; since eternity you have been dreaming. You have just been changing dreams. When you get fed up with one dream, you start changing it; you dream another dream. My whole effort is to shake you, to shock you - to wake you.- 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.

The ultimate state of love is freedom, absolute freedom, and any relationship that destroys freedom is not worthwhile.- Osho

I am a natural person. I have no charisma, and I don’t believe in charisma. I don’t believe in methods - even if I use them, I don’t believe in them. I am a natural person, very ordinary. I can be lost in a crowd and you will not be able to find me. I don’t lead you, I accompany you.- 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. To live in the memories, to live in the imagination, is to live in the non-existential. And when you are living in the non-existential, you are missing that which is existential. Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.- Osho
-
A really mature person cannot be serious, there is nothing to be serious about. The whole of life is fun, it is a play, a play of consciousness. And that's what meditation reveals to you - that the whole of life is a beautiful play of energy. The same energy is in the trees, in the stars, in the rivers, in the mountains, in you, in animals. It is the same energy dancing in different forms. We in the East have called it 'leela'. Leela means god's play.- Osho
-
If you are aware, you cannot be angry, because anger can exist only in a state of unawareness; that is a prerequisite for anger to exist.- 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 want you to be in the very center of existence, of your being. That is the only way to understand this tremendous mystery that surrounds you.- Osho
-
Enlightenment is the understanding that this is all, that this is perfect, that this is it. Enlightenment is not an achievement, it is an understanding that there is nothing to achieve, nowhere to go.- Osho

-
Lovers have known sometimes what saints have not known.- 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
-
Fame is foolish, it is pointless, meaningless. Even if the whole world knows you, how does it make you richer? How does it make your life more blissful? How does it help you to be more understanding, to be more aware? To be more alert, to be more alive?- Osho
-
Whenever you act according to your own light, there is immense fulfilment, and deep rejoicing.- 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

A comfortable, convenient life is not a real life – the more comfortable, the less alive. The most comfortable life is in the grave.- Osho

-
Loneliness is sad, aloneness is blissful.- Osho

My whole effort is somehow to convince you - not with my words but with my silence and presence, with my love and with my joy - that you are at the very center of the universe, every one of you - because there is only one center. Only on the periphery are we separate; at the center we are one.- Osho

So when I say, Spread the word, I mean whatever I have been telling you, go on spreading in as many ways as possible. Use all the news media, use everything that technology has provided, so that the word reaches to every nook and corner of the earth. And remember, it is far more powerful than any nuclear weapons because nuclear weapons can only bring death -- that is not power. But the word which has come from an enlightened consciousness can bring new life to you; it can give you rebirth, resurrection -- that is power.- Osho

-
We remain unnecessarily worried. All worries are futile because that which is going to happen is going to happen.- 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
-
Meditation cannot be a fragmented thing, it should be a continuous effort. Every moment one has to be alert, aware and meditative.- Osho
-

We have to make laughter, rejoicing, dancing, singing, part of a healthy being – just overflowing well-being.- Osho
-
Bliss needs to be shared; it exists only in sharing.- Osho
-
Listen to your being. It is continuously giving you hints; it is a still, small voice. It does not shout at you, that is true. And if you are a little silent you will start feeling your way. Be the person you are. Never try to be another, and you will become mature. Maturity is accepting the responsibility of being oneself, whatsoever the cost. Risking all to be oneself, that’s what maturity is all about.- Osho
-
Love is a sharing. But before you can share, you have to have it! Meditation should be the first thing. Meditation is the center, love is the circumference of it. Meditation is the flame, love is the radiation of it. Meditation is the flower, love is the fragrance of it.- Osho
-
Love is a bird and it loves to be free. It needs the whole sky to grow.- Osho

Be – don’t try to become.- Osho
-
I don’t have a goal, because existence has no goal. It simply is, flowering, blossoming, dancing – but don’t ask why. Just an overflow of energy, for no reason at all.- Osho
-
This has been said again and again, down through the ages. All the religious people have been saying this; 'We come alone into this world, we go alone.' All togetherness is illusory.- Osho
-
One need not go anywhere to be blissful. One can sit silently, be alone, and be blissful. Nothing else is needed just the pulsation of life is enough.- Osho

If your heart says to take the jump, then take the jump, then risk, then be adventurous.- Osho

A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.- Osho

-
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously; then there will not be any darkness.- Osho
-
Conditional love is nothing but an infatuation, sexuality. Unconditional is the only way love can be.- 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
-
When you love, love as if the person is a god, not less than that. Never love a woman as a woman and never love a man as a man.- Osho
-
Whatsoever you do with awareness is right. Right and wrong is not a distinction between objects; right and wrong is distinction between consciousnesses.- Osho
-
Detach yourself from all fixed ideas; they are the killers of all aliveness and innocence-which are musts for illumination.- Osho
-
The only authentic responsibility is towards your own potential. Values have not to be imposed on you. They should grow with your awareness, in you.- Osho

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

If you follow him, the only way is to be constantly on the move. Be a river.- Osho

You become more divine as you become more creative. All the religions of the world have said God is the creator. I don’t know whether he is the creator or not, but one thing I know: the more creative you become, the more godly you become. When your creativity comes to a climax, when your whole life becomes creative, you live in God. So he must be the creator because people who have been creative have been closest to him. Love what you do. Be meditative while you are doing it - whatsoever it is.- Osho
-
Once you let go nothing dies, only the ego. You remain forever and ever.- Osho

-
Death is a quantum jump from one body, from one form into another form. But it is not an end to you.- Osho

Jealousy is almost like a shadow of love. If we can grow our love, it takes over the whole energy of jealousy and transforms it into love. It is an alchemical change.- Osho

-
Watch the waves in the ocean. The higher the wave goes, the deeper is the wake that follows it. One moment you are the wave, another moment you are the hollow wake that follows. Enjoy both--dont get addicted to one. Dont say: I would always like to be on the peak. It is not possible. Simply see the fact: it is not possible. It has never happened and it will never happen. It is simply impossible--not in the nature of things. Then what to do? Enjoy the peak while it lasts and then enjoy the valley when it comes. What is wrong with the valley? What is wrong with being low? It is a relaxation. A peak is an excitement, and nobody can exist continuously in an excitement.- Osho

-
This watchfulness, this witnessing is the ultimate secret of creating a religious life, of creating a life of transcendence, a life of spirituality, of enlightenment, of buddhahood.- Osho

Do not imitate anyone, do not follow anyone, otherwise you will be just a pseudo existence - and that is worse than suicide.- Osho

A New Man who will not hate life, as in the past it has done; a new man who will love life; a new man who will not be negative in any way, but will be affirmative; a new man who will not desire life after death, but will live moment to moment in sheer joy—who will think of this life as a gift and not as a punishment; who will not be antagonistic to the body, who will respect the body as the temple of the soul; who will love, and who will not be afraid of love; who will move in all kinds of relationships and yet be able to remain himself.- Osho
