Truth can never be borrowed from anybody.
- 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
Only authentic human beings can create a society which will be joyous, ecstatic, and in the real sense, human.
- Osho
The ego is just a useful fiction. Use it, but don't be deceived by it.

Nobody is here to fulfill your dream. Everybody is here to fulfill his own destiny, his own reality.

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
Man is always exploited through fear.

A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.

There is a morality which is imposed from the outside which is never in tune with your heart. And there is a morality that comes from within you: it is always in tune with your heart and in tune with heart of the universe. That’s authentic morality.

Always remember that to be happy is to be religious; to be happy is to be virtuous; to be celebrating is to be prayerful.
- Osho
Meditation is not doing anything directly to your violence, not doing anything to your jealousy, to your hate. It is simply brining light into your house, and the darkness disappears.

The whole search of religion is for that witness: how to find that which is real.

- Osho
Once your awareness becomes a flame, it burns up the whole slavery that the mind has created.
- Osho
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. Only false religion has rules, because false religion is a game.
- 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
Forget about getting, simply give; and I guarantee you, you will get much.
- Osho
Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.

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.

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
If you are clear and clean in the mind, you will be able to find solutions for every problem that arises in your life.

I am here; be nourished by me. Eat me, drink me; be nourished by me. Let me become a part of your being, then I will be available forever and forever. There is no other way.
- Osho
Life is not logic, life is not philosophy. Life is a dance, a song, a celebration! It is more like love and less like logic.
- Osho
The ego is an island in the ocean of Hell. You want to get rid of the Hell but you don’t want to get rid of that island. Then there is trouble.
- Osho
Respect yourself, love yourself, because there has never been a person like you and there never will be again.
- 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
These three things are to be taken note of: the lowest love is sex - it is physical - and the highest refinement of love is compassion. Sex is below love, compassion is above love; love is exactly in the middle

If you love yourself, you will be surprised: others will love you. Nobody loves a person who does not love himself.

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!

There has never been a person like you before, there is nobody else like you right now in the whole world, and there will never be anybody like you.

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
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
The real religious man has to contribute to the world. He has to make it a little more beautiful than he found it when he came into the world.
- Osho
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.
- 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
Love, sing; dance not as a competitor, but as a man who wants to share his joy, his songs and his dances with his fellow human beings.
- Osho
Listening is a rare art, one of the last arts. Listening means not only hearing with the ears but hearing from the heart, in utter silence.
- Osho
All ambition is politics, all struggle to be the first is politics. A non-struggling, non conflicting mind is religious.
- Osho
You be simply interested in your happiness, in your bless, and one day you will find godliness has entered in you. It is another name for ultimate bliss.

Hate can very easily turn into love, just as love can turn into hate. They are two sides of the same coin.

Truth is not to be found outside. No teacher, no scripture can give it to you. It is inside you and if you wish to attain it, seek your own company. Be with yourself.

Meditation will give you a little glimpse, a little taste, that the truth is inside you.
- Osho

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.

Your marriage is a subtle politics of domination. Your fatherhood, motherhood, is a subtle politics.

When your ego is no more, only then will you know who you are.
- 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
A single insight into yourself is more valuable than all your scriptures. A single glimpse of your consciousness and you has entered the real temple.
- Osho
Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence
- Osho
Accept the fact that we are strangers; that we don´t know who you are, that you don´t know who I am. I myself don´t know who I am, so how can you know?
- Osho
Never sacrifice your life for anything! Sacrifice everything for life! Life is the ultimate goal.
- 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
you cannot be anybody else than yourself. That is authentic religiousness Every individual has his own uniqueness and that gives him dignity and grace.
- Osho
If you are really in love, you are no more the same as your were before. Something has love. You are no more the same as you were before. Something has disappeared; you are reborn. Love is a rebirth.
- Osho
Any religion, any ideology, that is based only on belief, or faith, is bound to cripple your intelligence.

Your daily life is your temple, and your religion. Act in awareness, act consciously, and many things will start changing.
- Osho
If you work without love, you are working like a slave. When you work with love, you work like an emperor. Your work is your joy, your work is your dance.
- Osho
Be less of a judge and you will be surprised that when you become a witness and you don’t judge yourself, you stop judging others too. And that makes you more human, more compassionate, more understanding.
- 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
When you are not rushing anywhere and your inner being is just still, herenow, God reflects. Then all chaos disappears, all questions disappear.
- 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
Meditation is an understanding that desires don't lead anywhere.
- Osho
When one is total, life flowers — and that flowering is spirituality. Spirituality is not an attitude, it is not a discipline. It is an outcome of a life lived totally, joyfully, delightfully; of a life of no complaint; of a life lived courageously, intensely. Then this flowering happens.
- Osho
Whenever you act according to your own light, there is immense fulfilment, and deep rejoicing.
- Osho
My whole love and respect is for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has courage.

On the path nothing more is needed than Patience
- Osho
Every man has the potential to become enlightened. If he does not become, he is responsible — nobody else is responsible for it.
- 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
The only thing that matters in life, is your own opinion about yourself.
- Osho
Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.
- Osho
When you are Yourself, There is Truth, there is Beauty, There is Grace, there is Ecstasy.
- Osho
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
Be Realistic: Plan for a Miracle.
- Osho
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. The only false religion has rules because false religion is a game.
- Osho
Be Yourself - and only then can you be responsible and authentic and real. But ordinarily everyone is just secondhand and borrowed, and that makes everything ugly.
- Osho
I want to leave you alone, absolutely alone, so that you cannot take anybody's help, so you cannot cling to any prophet, so that you cannot think that Gautam Buddha is going to save you. Left alone ― utterly alone ― you are bound to find your innermost center.
- Osho
You cannot destroy inner emptiness. It is your very being. You can cover it with things, but sooner or later you will have to encounter it. And it is better if you encounter it sooner.
- Osho
Live the day and live the night too. Dont miss anything. Make your life such a complimentary whole that everything fits together and makes it a piece of art.
- Osho
Celebration is my religion, love is my message, and silence is my truth.
- Osho
When you become an absolute pool of silence, an aura of grace arises around you and follows you like your shadow; that is the shadow of your soul.
- Osho
Life begins where fear ends.
- Osho
Mind is something unnatural; it never becomes your natural state. But meditation is a natural state — which we have lost.

You are the temple and the master of the temple. You need not go anywhere. If you need go anywhere it is only inwards, into your own interiority.
- Osho
Destroying something, any idiot can do. Creating needs intelligence.
- Osho
A man who lives life in its totality is a rainbow; he lives the whole spectrum of it.
- 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
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
Do meditation without thinking of any result, enjoy meditating as an end in itself. And then some day the light explodes, the ego disappears.
- Osho
Wherever you feel death, feel it. Don’t escape. Death is beautiful; death is the greatest mystery, more mysterious than life.
- Osho
Be aware – deep down you are really attached to your negative emotions. They are your ego.
- 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
A man is successful if he follows his own natural way and lives it as totally and intensely as possible.
- Osho
Mind is the illusion that which is not but appears, and appears so much that you think that you are the mind.

Love need two things: it has to be rooted in freedom and it has to know the art of trust.
- 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
Consciousness without thinking: That’s what awareness is.
- Osho
It is better to be ignorant; at least the ignorance is yours. It is authentic, it is real, sincere and honest!
- Osho
Be – don’t try to become.
- Osho
Paradise is within you, in your state of no-mind. And hell is also within you, in your very mind. The choice is yours. You can move from the mind to no-mind; the bridge is witnessing.

Only idiots are not controversial.

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.

Respect your life. Out of that respect you will start respecting life in others.
- Osho
Love is true only when it is spontaneous, unplanned, unpracticed, uncultivated, un-thought.
- 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
By ‘Love’ people mean a certain kind of monopoly understanding a simple fact: that the moment you possess a living being you have killed him.

Tomorrow never comes, it is always today.

I don’t believe in nationalism, and I don’t believe in any religion. I believe in the individual and his happiness.
- Osho
One who thinks in terms of superiority will always remain inferior because these are two aspects of the same coin.
- 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
Love is painful because it creates the way for bliss. Love is painful because it transforms, love is a mutation. Each transformation is going to be painful because the old has to be left for the new.
- Osho
The moment you become innocent, you have found a direct line to the divine. Your heartbeat synchronizes with the heartbeat of the universe.
- Osho
To bring the beyond is creativity. To bring the beyond into the known is creativity. To help divine to be manifested in some form is creativity.
- 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
If you deceive someone, you lose one of life’s greatest treasures, the capacity to trust. Without trust, love is not possible.
- Osho
My whole life has been devoted to only one single program: how to bring love and meditation together - because only through that meeting a new humanity is possible. And only in the meeting of love and meditation, the duality of man and woman - the inequality of man and woman - disappears.
- Osho
If you start listening to the body, listening to nature, listening to your inner being, you will be more and happier.
- Osho
Where silence and awareness meet, mingle and become one, there is receptivity. Receptivity is the most important religious quality.
- Osho
You will come closer and closer to perfection, but you will never be perfect. Perfection is not the way of existence. Growth is the way.
- Osho
This world is just a game. Winners lose and losers win the game is still the same. This life is just a play. Those who say dont know and those who know dont say.
- Osho
As you come to the center of your being you have found your original face. Your original face is the Buddha.
- 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 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
Commit as many mistakes as possible, remembering only one thing: don’t commit the same mistake again. And you will be growing.
- Osho
If you are sad you are wrong; if you are joyful you are right.
- Osho
Desire disappears as you become more and more aware. When awareness is one hundred percent, there is no desire at all.
- Osho
Love makes you feel welcome in the world. Love makes you a part of existence; it destroys alienation. Then you are no mere an outsider here, but utterly needed.
- Osho
The only revolution possible is through taking the whole responsibility on yourself: I am the cause of my suffering. Hence I can be the cause of my bliss.
- 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
It is only out of totality that one blooms, that the spring comes, and your life starts having color and music and poetry.
- Osho
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.
- Osho
A happy person needs no temple, no church--because for a happy person the whole universe is a temple, the whole existence is a church.
- Osho
Something disappears when you become aware, and something appears. Death disappears, deathlessness appears. The ego disappears, egolessness appears.
- Osho
Only people suffering from inferiority complex want to impress others. A really superior person never compares himself with anybody else.
- Osho
Don't get tempted. Don't advise unless you really know. Don't guide.
- Osho
The poison can become medicinal - you have to know how to transform it. And sometimes the nectar can be poisonous - if you dint know how to use it.
- Osho
Love brings freedom. And a love that does not bring freedom is not love.
- Osho
Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.
- 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
Take it easy, and remember Easy is Right.
- Osho
Once I was on a journey and someone asked me which word in a man’s vocabulary was the most valuable. My reply was, Love.

- 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
Your real being flowers only with love. Ambition is against love. Anything that is against love is against you and your real life, your real destiny.
- 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
Celebration is my attitude, unconditional to what life brings.
- 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
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
In relationship be blissful, in alone-ness be aware, and they will help each other, like two wings of a bird.
- Osho
To be a happy person, one has to drop all comparison. Drop all these stupid ideas of being superior and inferior. You are neither superior nor inferior. You are simply yourself! There exists no one like you, no one with whom you can be compared. Then, suddenly, you are at home.
- Osho
If you remain always far, love will die. If you remain always near, love will die. Love can survive only in a continuous flowing relationship.
- Osho
Meditation is an effort to get rid of personality and to reach to your living sources of life, your individuality, your flame.
- Osho
God is without purpose. The sky exists without purpose. Flowers bloom without purpose and stars shine without purpose. What happens to poor man that he cannot live without purpose?
- Osho
Unless the truth is your own experience, whatever you believe about truth is only a belief. And all beliefs are lies, and all believers are blind.
- Osho
Insecurity is beautiful. And the day you know insecurity is beautiful, you have know the wisdom if insecurity.
- Osho
Is the celebrator celebrating! Already there is too much – the flowers have bloomed, the birds are singing, the sun is there in the sky – celebrate it!
- Osho
The experience of the joy that the unknown brings, the great ecstasy that starts happening with the unknown,makes you strong enough, gives you a certain integrity, makes your intelligence sharp. For the first time you start feeling that life is not just a boredom but an adventure. Then slowly slowly fears disappear.
- 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
Don’t allow the fear to overpower you, allow love to overpower you. Love comes from the centre, fear always comes from the periphery.
- Osho
The whole play of existence is so beautiful that laughter can be the only response to it. Only laughter can be the real prayer, gratitude.

Each individual has to create his own consciousness and conscience—only then will we be able to create a better world.
- Osho
I do not give you any discipline, any philosophy. I simply help you to bring out your own consciousness into a state of flowering.
- 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. If you love others, if your love is focused on others, you will live in darkness. Turn your light toward yourself first, become a light unto yourself first. Let the light dispel your inner darkness, your inner weakness. Let love make you a tremendous power, a spiritual force.
- Osho
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.
- Osho
In Jainism forgiving carries great value, which I need to follow as it helps me to learn art of living, & I sincerely request you to forgive me if any of my.
- 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.

why wait for reasons to laugh? Life as it is should be reason enough to laugh. it is so absurd. it is so ridiculous. it is so beautiful, so wonderful! it is all sorts of things together. it is a great cosmic joke. Laughter is the real religion. Everthing else is just metaphysics.

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

My word for prayer is love. Forget the word prayer, replace it with love. Love is not for some invisible God. Love is for the visible -- human beings, animals, trees, oceans, mountains. Spread your wings of love as far and wide as you can.
- 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.

Every error is an opportunity to learn. Just do not commit the same mistake again and again-that is stupidity.
- 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.

The moment you see that whatsoever you are in your own creation, you are freed from all outer causes and circumstances.
- 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
Don’t go on with borrowed knowledge. Otherwise you will forget that you are ignorant, and you will remain ignorant.
- 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
Nobody should in any way interfere in anybody else’s life.
- Osho
The only thing that matters in life is your own opinion about yourself, nobody can destroy your dignity then, because it is not dependent on anybody’s opinion.

Love is not manageable, it is simply something that happens, and the moment you try to manage it everything misfire.

Die each moment so that you are renewed each moment.

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
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
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.

My perception of sannyas is to be just yourself. If I say any attribute, I am imposing that attribute on my sannyasins. My sannyas is absolute freedom. With freedom of course a great responsibility comes, but that is not my business.
- Osho
To fight with the mind is to give it reality, to recognize its power. There is no need to fight. One has just to be a witness. Without any fight, just being a witness, mind disappears.

I have no wish to placate you with false, hollow and worthless words exhorting you to love mankind. The so-called religions have said these things to you for generations. I am here to urge you to love real men, to love your fellow beings - not mankind but the men who live and work around you. Humanity is just a word; mankind is just a label. You cannot find humanity or mankind anywhere. And so humanity is easy to love because the only thing you have to do is mouth a few platitudes.

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.

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.

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
Respect your life. Out of that respect, you will start respecting life in others.

I have called the New Man ZORBA THE BUDDHA. Zorba represents the materialist, objective approach. Buddha represents the subjective, spiritual approach. Divided, both are poor.

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

- Osho
Truth certainly liberates, but the truth has to be your own. Only then it liberates.

Take life as easily as possible. But people don't understand me. I say to them, Life is a mystery. It is not to be solved but to be lived. 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 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.

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
Just see how much respect God has paid to you. You are a masterpiece – unrepeatable, incomparable, utterly unique.
- Osho
Power over others is ugly. It is inhuman, because to have power over somebody means to reduce the person to a thing. He becomes your possession.
- Osho
Don’t be angry at life. It is not life that is frustrating you, it is you who are not listening to life.

My whole teaching is this, accept yourself, love yourself, and celebrate yourself.
- Osho
Only the individual can rise to the heights of consciousness and awareness. The more you belong to the crowd, the deeper you fall into darkness.

Meditation is the shortest way possible because you don’t go anywhere; you simply close your eyes and dive deep within your own being - where you already are.

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.

The first: freedom. The second: uniqueness of individuality. The third: love. The fourth: meditation. The fifth: non-seriousness. The sixth: playfulness. The seventh: creativity. The eighth: sensitivity. The ninth: gratefulness. Tenth: a feeling of the mysterious. These ten non-commandments constitute my basic attitude towards reality, towards man's freedom from all kinds of spiritual slavery.
- Osho
Courage is a love affair with the unknown.
- Osho
Love in its purest form is a sharing of joy. It asks nothing in return, it expects nothing. Love is a spiritual phenomenon; lust is physical. Ego is psychological; love is spiritual.

If you enter heaven because other forced you to act according to certain precepts, certain commandments, you will regret even in heaven.

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
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
My effort is to continuously emphasize that meditation is nothing but watching the mind, understanding the mind, seeing all its subtle and cunning ways.

There are only ways of being here: one is in bondage, another is in freedom. Watchfulness takes you out of the prison and opens the doors of infinity.

Your absence is the presence of godliness.
- 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
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
The society is ill; individuals are victims. Society needs therapy; individuals simply need love. The society is the patient and needs hospitalization.

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
I am deliberately inconsistent, contradictory, so that you cannot make any body of knowledge out of me. So if one day you start gathering something, another day I take it away. I don't allow you to gather anything. Sooner or later, you are bound to be awakened to the fact that something totally different is transpiring here. 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.
- Osho
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.
