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.

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.

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.

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

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.

It opens the door of your eternal aloneness.

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.

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

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.

It is not that I am giving you some dogma to be believed in, some philosophy to be lived by, no, not at all. I am utterly destructive, I am taking everything away from you.

Presence of mind means to be in the present, to be spontaneous, to be available to whatsoever is happening right now--to be available to here and now.
- 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
To choose is to choose a prison; to choose is to choose a bondage. To choose is wrong, to be choiceless is to be right.
- Osho

- Osho
Be true to yourself, and don't look at what others are saying. This is the only way to reach to the Divine, because it is the only way to be natural.
- Osho
Once you have tasted the juice of the present, you don’t care about dangers. Once you are in tune with life then nothing matter. Life all there 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 jealousy disappears and love still remains, then you have something solid in your life which is worth having.
- 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
With fear, hate, jealousy-anything whatsoever- don’t create a problem out of it. Accept it, allow it, pass through it, and you will defeat all suffering.
- Osho
All leadership is misleading, and to guide is to misguide. Buddha was not a guide and Buddha was not a leader.
- 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
Life is freedom. It does not impose any meaning on you; it simply gives you an opportunity to create your own meaning. The meaning has to be created.
- Osho
Celebration is the very nature of existence.
- Osho
God is Nowhere, God is Now Here.

- Osho
One who thinks in terms of superiority will always remain inferior because these are two aspects of the same coin.
- Osho
Be a lotus flower. Be in the water, and do not let the water touch you.
- Osho
That’s why I called even enlightenment the last game. The sooner you drop it, the better. Why not just simply be? Why unnecessarily hurry here and there? You are what existence wants you to be. Just relax.
- Osho
Find the light and it will show you the path. The path that is shown by your own light is the only path that is right.
- Osho
It cannot be called freedom, a freedom which can choose only the right and not the wrong; then that is not freedom.

If you clean the floor with love, you have done an invisible painting. Live each moment in such delight that it gives you something inner.
- Osho
To be frank with you - which usually I am not - I don't know who I am. Knowledge is not possible here where I am. Only the knower is left, the known has disappeared; only the container is left, the content is no more.
- Osho
They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then think as much as you want!
- Osho
You create yourself moment to moment. You are mot born as a fixed entity, but only as an infinite. You are born as a seed, not as a tree.
- 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
Fools are more healthy then the so-called wise. Thy live in the moment and they know that thy are fools, so thy are not worried about what others think about them.
- Osho
Happiness is not a result. It is a way of life. Happiness is not the end result of desire. It is an attitude, not a desire.
- Osho
Friendship is the purest love. It is the highest form of Love where nothing is asked for, no condition, where one simply enjoys giving.
- Osho
When there is no desire there is no past, no future. When there is no desire you are utterly contented here now. And to be contented here now is joy.
- Osho
I want you to be independent and confident that you can attain these precious moments on your own.
- 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.
- Osho
There is no other miracle in the world than meditation. It is the only science of transforming you into a new man. Into a superman. The superman is needed very much, urgently, because only the superman can prevent this beautiful planet from being destroyed by pygmy politicians, by ugly religions. All these vested interests are going to destroy the most beautiful planet in the universe. You can do only one thing to save it, and that is to become a Buddha and spread your Buddhahood - share it.
- Osho
Love is not a higher quality than truth.
- Osho
Each individual has to create his own consciousness and conscience—only then will we be able to create a better world.
- Osho
It is only out of totality that one blooms, that the spring comes, and your life starts having color and music and poetry.
- Osho
Belief is the opium which all the religions have been giving you in good doses. I am trying to destroy your addiction to the opium. My whole effort is to leave you alone.
- Osho
Religion is the greatest creativity because it is an effort to give birth to yourself, to become a father and mother to yourself, to be born again.
- 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
If whatsoever you have been living can be conveyed by words, that means you have not lived at all.
- 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
Freedom is our most precious treasure. Don’t lose it for anything. . . .
- Osho
To accept the challenge of the unknown in spite of all fears, is courage. The fears are there, but if you go on accepting the challenge again and again, slowly slowly those fears disappear.
- 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 whole search of religion is for that witness: how to find that which is real.
- Osho
Love happens when you are ready to share with another human being. Prayer happens when you are ready to share with God.
- Osho
My enlightenment has freed me from everything, including enlightenment.
- Osho
My effort is to make this whole earth a buddhafield.
- Osho
Whenever you plan for love, whenever deliberateness enters into it it becomes phony and false.
- Osho
The only way to be desire less is to be wakeful, watchful. Watchfulness creates a light in you, and in that light the darkness of desire cannot enter.
- Osho
If love is not conscious it remains lust, and lust can never have anything of prayer in it. Lust is unconscious, love is conscious.
- Osho
Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.
- Osho
Reaction is always unconscious; and response is always conscious.
- Osho
Love is true only when it is spontaneous, unplanned, unpracticed, uncultivated, un-thought.
- Osho
The moment you accept yourself, you become beautiful.
- Osho
Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously… Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul.
- Osho
Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.
- Osho
Out of love, everything is right. Love is the magic that transforms everything into right.
- Osho
Remain alert about your blindness, about your fear, about your ignorance, and just your alertness will dispel the whole darkness of blindness, of fear, of ignorance.
- Osho
Whenever you feel a problem look within your heart. If you are at ease, you are on the right path. Your heart is the criterion.
- 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
Celebrate aloneness, celebrate your pure space, and great song will arise in your heart. And it will be a song of awareness; it will be a song of meditation
- Osho
No one can achieve one's individuality by following another, the other is always the other.
- Osho
It is a strange thing, that every child is born with a closed hand, and every body dies with an open hand.
- Osho
If love can not keep you together, nothing else can keep you together. And if love cannot keep you together, than anything that can keep you together is dangerous.
- Osho
A moment of truth is more valuable than a hundred years of life, because a moment of truth makes you part of eternity.
- Osho
Growth means you are not moving in a circle, that something new is happening every day, every moment.
- Osho
When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.
- Osho
When you live at the optimum, then you know what life is. And then you know the celebration of it and the benediction of it.
- Osho
Whatsoever you hide goes on growing, and whatsoever you expose, if it is wrong it disappears, evaporates in the sun, and if it is right it is nourished.
- Osho
You are too much identified with the false, the personality.
- Osho
Wherever you are, reality is. You are part of reality and you exist only as an organic part to reality. You cannot go away. You cannot separate yourself.
- Osho
I am not a teacher, and this is not a place where knowledge is important. I am just a presence to inspire in you that which is dormant, to allow you to recognize yourself.
- Osho
Just a little detachment from the ego is needed.
- Osho
The mirror mirrors things, but mirroring is not an activity. It is just the nature of the mirror, that whatever comes before it is reflected.
- Osho
We have to make laughter, rejoicing, dancing, singing, part of a healthy being – just overflowing well-being.
- Osho
No thought, no mind, no choice — just being silent, rooted in yourself.
- Osho
When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised.
- Osho
Help the world to become better. Don’t leave the world just the same as you have found it – make it a little better, make it a little more beautiful.
- Osho
NOW is the only reality. All else is either memory or imagination.
- 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
If you love yourself, you will be surprised: others will love you. Nobody loves a person who does not love himself.
- 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
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance. Buddha has defined compassion as love plus meditation.
- Osho
Possessiveness destroys love. And they should not be possessed, because that again destroys your love.
- Osho
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
- 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
Experience life in all possible ways -- good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light, summer-winter. Experience all the dualities. Don't be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become.
- Osho
Your trust in the total opens all your sensitivities to their extreme. This whole existence becomes a sheer dance, a sheer celebration.
- Osho
You can become happy just by deciding to be happy.
- Osho
On the path nothing more is needed than Patience
- Osho
The person who can be happy alone is really an individual. If your happiness depends on the other, you are a slave; you are not yet free, you are in bondage.
- Osho
We remain unnecessarily worried. All worries are futile because that which is going to happen is going to happen.
- Osho
Only silence communicates the truth as it is.
- Osho
The ego is the cancer of the inner, the cancer of the soul. And the only remedy - the only remedy I say - is meditation.
- Osho
A witness is not a judge. A witness is only a mirror. It shows u clearly the situation, and it gives u a spontaneous response.
- Osho
A single moment of love is equal to the whole eternity of love.
- Osho
When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.
- Osho
Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.
- 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
Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.
- 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
If you can trust nature, by and by you become quiet, silent, happy, joyful, celebrating—because nature is celebrating. Nature is a celebration.
- 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
My function is very different from the function of Gautam Buddha. His function is only a small part of my philosophy. I want individuals to become enlightened, but I want also the whole of humanity to rise with the enlightened people. They may not become enlightened, but at least become conscious enough so that nations disappear, religions disappear, races disappear, and we can live as one humanity, as one earth.
- Osho
My whole effort is to make your morality spontaneous. You should be conscious and alert, and respond to every situation with absolute consciousness. Then whatever you do is right. It is not a question of actions being right or wrong, it is a question of consciousness - whether you are doing it consciously or unconsciously like a robot.
- Osho
If you live with alertness, you live rightly. If you live in imitation, you live wrongly. To me there is only one sin: And that is not to be yourself. And to me there is only one virtue: And that is to know yourself.
- Osho
If you can fine our original man, you have found everything that this existence contains—the entire splendor, all the glory, all the ceremony, all the joy.
- Osho
Nobody should in any way interfere in anybody else’s life.
- Osho
Just as on a rosebush roses blossom, on the bush of awareness roses also blossom—roses of goodness roses of beauty, roses of grace.
- Osho
I am not doing any serious work. I am not doing work at all; it is my joy to share with you. Now, what you do with it is your problem, not mine.
- Osho
The greatest freedom is to be free of one’s own mind.
- Osho
Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.
- Osho

Etiquette

When he says: HE IS PURE, he means he is innocent, he is not knowledgeable. He is functioning from the state of not-knowing. He is not bookish, he does not live according to the books.

Mr. Goldberg, a prosperous furrier, sent his daughter to Europe to get some culture and maybe meet a rich fellow.

A few months later she wrote and asked papa to send her a book on etiquette.

"Real fine people she is meeting," he thought to himself.

Five months later she wrote for another book on etiquette.

"Princes she is going with," said Goldberg and jumped for joy.

After two years Becky came home. Mr. Goldberg met her at the pier and was taken aback when she appeared with a child in her arms.

"Whose baby?" he asked.

"Mine," she replied.

"And the father?"

She shook her head. "I don't know, Papa."

Goldberg wept in despair. "Two books on etiquette you got and you don't even know to ask, 'With whom have I the pleasure?'"

Books can't help; even two books on etiquette won't make you cultured. A thousand books on spirituality and you will not become spiritual. It is not a question of becoming more informed. It is a question of transformation, not of information.

HE IS PURE, AND SEES. When you are innocent you have eyes to see the truth as it is, because you don't have any idea to distort. You have no prejudice, no like, no dislike. You are neither Hindu nor Mohammedan nor Christian. You are simply a consciousness, full of wonder, great inquiry. There is exploration; you reflect reality. In innocence reality is reflected and seen.

HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH.... And when you know, you cannot do otherwise. HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH... whatsoever the cost. Even if you are to be killed for saying the truth; you would rather be killed but you will not stop speaking the truth.

-Osho, "The Dhammapada: The Way of the Buddha, Vol 6, #7"
