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.

Its very nature is to reach to the ocean. It is not an effort, it is its intrinsic quality.- Osho

Love what you do. Be meditative while you are doing it - whatsoever it is.- Osho

That is the beginning of a superman, the beginning of the new man, a new humanity.- Osho

Use all the news media, use everything that technology has provided, so that the word reaches to every nook and corner of the earth.

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

Try to understand that existence consists of polar opposites. If you choose one side, your life will remain only half; and a half-life is a miserable life.- Osho
-
Sadness is silent, it is yours. It is coming because you are alone. It is giving you a chance to go deeper into your aloneness. Rather than jumping from one shallow happiness to another shallow happiness and wasting your life, it is better to use sadness as a means for meditation. Witness it. It is a friend! It opens the door of your eternal aloneness.- Osho

-
Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously… Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul.- Osho

Prayer is meaningless if it is not out of alertness. And a man of alertness need not have any prayer – alertness is enough unto itself.- 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. I don't take any note of your mind, what kind of mind you have. Any kind of mind...you have to be taken out of it! So I don't go into the details, I simply start hammering!- Osho

-
Reality has not to be invented, it has to be discovered. It is already there. Hence science discovers, and true religion also discovers.- Osho
-
I am not here to make you a sheep. You have been a sheep for too long already. I am here to make a man out of you. It is going to be arduous, but you have to start becoming responsible for your own life. Once you start feeling responsible for your own life you start growing, because then there is no point in wasting time in postponing, in waiting. Nobody is coming to help you. All waiting is futile, all waiting is sheer wastage.- Osho
-
Relationship is the need of those who cannot be alone. Two alone persons relate, communicate, commune, and yet they remain alone.- Osho

No thought, no mind, no choice — just being silent, rooted in yourself.- Osho
-
Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated.- Osho

The whole of life has to be your Temple; Work has to be your worship, Love has to be your prayer. This very body the Buddha, This very earth the Lotus Paradise.- Osho
-
The world of being is the only real world, the world of truth. And unless you have come to it, you on wandering in of rein lands. You can never come home.- Osho

-
To be a sannyasin means you will be allowing freedom to the children, you will not impose anything on them, you will not impose your ideas; you will NOT like them to become imitators. Sannyas is just symbolic of a great freedom!- Osho
-
Never obey anyone’s command unless it is coming from within you also.- Osho
-
There is no need to run towards the ocean. Just slowly enjoy the trees, and the birds, and the people, having a trust in your heart that every river has always reached the ocean. And you cannot be the exception. Existence does not allow any exceptions. You will also reach the ocean.- Osho
-
People love freedom – but nobody wants responsibility. And they come together, they are inseparable.- Osho
-
Never belong to a crowd; never belong to a nation; never belong to a religion; never belong to a race. Belong to the whole existence. Why limit yourself to small things? When the whole is available, only stupid people will cling to small things. Be oceanic.- Osho

-
I have been teaching you nothing else except to be more alive, more loving, more singing, more dancing.- Osho

The fundamental thing is to drop the split, to become one. Be one, and then all else is possible; even the impossible is possible.- Osho

Love brings freedom. And a love that does not bring freedom is not love.- Osho
-
Reaction is always unconscious; and response is always conscious.- Osho

And somebody has asked me, Osho, when you said that, I heard, Life is a MISERY, not to be solved but to be lived. That is up to you. To me it is a mystery, not to be solved but to be lived, but you can hear it as misery.- Osho
-
If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.- 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
-
Life is absolutely balanced between the positive and the negative. Now it is your choice which side you want to be – in heaven or in hell.- Osho
-
The will to wholeness is inherent in everything, but only in man has it become conscious. Therefore man lives in tension, and only when this longing is fulfilled is his negative state of tension erased.- Osho

Life has to b a joy, a dance, a celebration. & when death comes, it has to b welcomed wid silence, wid serenity. This is a way to kill death itself.- Osho
-
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
-
My whole love and respect is for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has courage. He has courage to face the whole pressure of the society which is bent upon splitting him into divisions – into good and bad, into saint and sinner. He is really a brave, courageous being who stands against the whole history of man, of morality, and declares to the skies his reality, whatever it is.- 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
-
If you suffer it is because of you, if you feel blissful it is because of you. Nobody else is responsible – only you and you alone. You are your hell and your heaven too.- Osho
-
As you become more and more sensitive, more and more sensuous, you will see more and more beauty around deeper you’re in side, the greater the beauty.- Osho
-
Love is ultimate, the highest health, because love makes one whole. When you love a master by and by you completely forgot about love.- Osho
-
Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love.- Osho
-
Falling in love you remain a child; rising in love you mature. By and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being. Not that you are in love – now you are love.- 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
-
My teaching is very simple: meditation is the key, becoming totally aware is the result. Experiencing oneness with the whole is the reward.- Osho
-
You are not filled with straw, you are filled with your own awareness. You are not filled with furniture, cars, houses, money, and other nonsense. You are just filled with your being, the sheer am-ness, the sheer existence.- Osho
-
The greatest good is to be conscious—because all other goods are born out of it. Being conscious is the source of all goodness, all virtue.- Osho
-
Do not seek a guru, because gurus are crippling. Anyone who gives you ready-made formulas is not a friend but an enemy.- Osho
-
Love need two things: it has to be rooted in freedom and it has to know the art of trust.- Osho
-
Giving love is the real beautiful experience, because then you are an emperor. Getting love is a very small experience. It is the experience of beggar.- Osho
-
The beauty of facing life unprepared is tremendous. Then life has a newness, a youth; then life has a flow and freshness. Then life has so many surprises. And when life has so many surprises boredom never settles in you.- Osho
-
God happens only when you have moved out of the way and left yourself totally empty, spacious. It is a very strange phenomenon: The guest only comes inside the house when the host disappears.- Osho
-
Witnessing is a happening, a by-product--a by-product of being total in any moment, in any situation, in any experience. Totality is the key.- Osho
-
Mind is something unnatural; it never becomes your natural state. But meditation is a natural state — which we have lost.- Osho
-
One who thinks in terms of superiority will always remain inferior because these are two aspects of the same coin.- Osho
-
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously; then there will not be any darkness.- Osho
-
When you are not rushing anywhere and your inner being is just still, herenow, God reflects. Then all chaos disappears, all questions disappear.- Osho
-
If you feel angry too often you should meditate more on anger, so that anger disappears and its energy becomes compassion.- Osho
-
I’ll never make any resolutions. Drop all resolutions! Let life be a natural spontaneity. The only golden rule is that there are no golden rules.- Osho
-
I am not going to give you a destination. I can only give you a direction - awake, throbbing with life, unknown, always surprising, unpredictable. I'm not going to give you a map. I can give you only a great passion to discover. Yes, a map is not needed; great passion, great desire to discover is needed. Then I leave you alone. Then you go on your own. Move into the vast, into the infinite, and by and by, learn to trust it. Leave yourself in the hands of life.- 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
-
Forget about getting, simply give; and I guarantee you, you will get much.- Osho
-
The only quality that buddha has is pure awareness, consciousness, witnessing. Witnessing is a key word for all meditators. Witness that you are not the body. Witness that you are not the mind. Witness that you are only a witness.- Osho
-
Oneness is the key.- Osho
-
Truth can whisper its mysteries into your ears only when you are absolutely empty – emptiness is its mysteries into your ears only when you are absolutely empty – emptiness is purity.- Osho
-
Hate can very easily turn into love, just as love can turn into hate. They are two sides of the same coin.- Osho
-
One seed can make a whole earth green. One small sparkle of energy in you can fill the whole earth with dance, song, music.- Osho
-
Be realistic: Plan for a miracle.- Osho
-
Find godliness and good will come on its own accord. And when good comes on its own accord, it has a beauty, a grace, a simplicity, a humbleness.- Osho
-
Never be ashamed of your tears. Be proud that you are still natural. Be proud that you can express the inexpressible through your tears.- Osho
-
Knowledge is the barrier to knowing. When knowledge is dropped, knowing flowers.- Osho
-
If you can say yes with the totality of your heart, you have said all that can be said. To say yes to existence is to be religious.- Osho
-
Any meditation that is of worth will be alive even in the marketplace. Because a marketplace is nothing once you attain to the meditative state.- Osho
-
Life begins where fear ends.- Osho
-
The authentic religion teaches you to discover your immortality, to discover the god within you.- Osho
-
There is no other greater ecstasy, no other greater blissfulness, than to know who you are. To know the inner space is to know all.- Osho
-
Man is always exploited through fear.- Osho
-
Either you are drowned in the past or you are drowned in the future. That’s why you are not. That’s why you yourself have become a falsehood. You are too concerned with the false, and that concern makes you pseudo. Withdraw yourself from the past and the future.- Osho
-
All beliefs suffocate and all beliefs help you not to be really alive. They deaden your being.- Osho
