Even the word meditation makes it look heavier. It is better to just call it a simple, innocent silence.- 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

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 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!

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

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.

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

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
-

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
-
Why limit yourself to small things! When the whole is available, only stupid people will cling to small things. Be oceanic!- Osho

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.

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

You can either be creative, or you are bound to be destructive. You cannot remain neutral; either you have to affirm life with all its joys, or you start condemning life.- Osho

-
Unless you recognize your original face, you will not be able to reach anywhere. You will not have any meaning to your Life.- 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
-
I am the beginning of something new, but not the beginning of a new religion. I am the beginning of a new kind of religiousness- Osho
-

-
Everything is beautiful if inside your heart there is awareness.- Osho
-
Real love makes you more of an individual. It does not efface your individuality, it gives you individuality. Real love is very respectful.- Osho

-
Life is precious, and it is a gift from existence. We should not waste it.- Osho
-
All ambition is politics, all struggle to be the first is politics. A non-struggling, non conflicting mind is religious.- 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
-
Never ask, Who is my real friend? Ask, Am I a real friend to somebody? That is the right question. Always be concerned with yourself.- 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

-
Remember, all great values are killed the moment you cling to them. And no great value can be imitated.- Osho
-
Darkness is an absence of light. Ego is an absence of awareness.- Osho

-
Never obey anyone’s command unless it is coming from within you also.- Osho
-
Remember it is a very fundamental law. You may not get something that you want, but you always get that which you need. Somehow the universe goes on fulfilling your needs; you may understand, you may not understand.- Osho
-
Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny – he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally – you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.- Osho
-
Every man has the potential to become enlightened. If he does not become, he is responsible — nobody else is responsible for it.- Osho
-
I am trying in every possible way to drop all those things, which in the past have been barriers for the revolution to continue and grow. I don't want anybody to stand between the individual and existence. No prayer, no priest -- you alone are enough to face the sunrise. You don't need somebody to interpret for you what a beautiful sunrise it is.- 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. Then only your mask is related, not you. Whenever such a thing happens, there are four persons in the relationship, not two. Two false persons go on meeting, and the two real persons remain worlds apart.- Osho

Love never should be forced, love never should be an attempt. It should not be in the mind at all - If it happens, then it is beautiful.- 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
