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

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.

Let the light dispel your inner darkness, your inner weakness. Let love make you a tremendous power, a spiritual force.- 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
-
Truth is subjectivity, it is your innermost core. Only you, and only you, can penetrate it; nobody else can go with you. The path has to be travelled in tremendous aloneness. And a Master knows it — that he is pushing you in a journey where you will be left alone.- Osho
-
If you cannot love yourself, you don’t know even the taste of love or what love means.- 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

A man becomes a Buddha the moment he accepts all that life brings with gratitude. He is on the Way, he is on Tao; and he IS becoming meditative.- Osho

We are bringing a new approach in religion. You do not go away from the world, but rather go deeper into it and change it. This is more courageous.- Osho

-
Knowledge is borrowed; knowing is yours, your own. It is authentic, knowledge is information, and knowing is transformation.- 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
-
Dancing is not just a movement. When a movement becomes ecstatic then it is dance. When the movement is so total that there is no ego, then it is a dance.- Osho
-
Thinking is a very low activity; it is of the mind. Meditation is the highest within you; it is beyond mind.- Osho
-
Consciousness is never judgmental. Consciousness is only a mirror.- Osho
-
To be in the middle is to be beyond suffering.- Osho

-
Man is always exploited through fear.- 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

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
-
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
-
That’s why children look so beautiful because they are yet full of hope, full of dreams, and they have not yet known frustration.- 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
-
Meditation is perhaps the master key for all our problems.- 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
-
I love this world because it is imperfect. It is imperfect, and that’s why it is growing; if it was perfect it would have been dead.- 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
-
Consciousness plus thinking is Waking, Consciousness minus thinking is Samadhi, Unconsciousness plus thinking is Dreaming, Unconsciousness minus thinking is Sleep.- 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

I am crazy, but you are crazier! And that is the only bond between us - I am crazy, you are crazier.- 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
-
My meditation is not something separate from life, it is something that has to be spread all over life. Your whole life has to be colored by it.- 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
-
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
-
Only idiots are not controversial.- 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
-
The deeper your love, The deeper is your life. Think of love and life as synonymous.- Osho
-
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
-
Happiness is not conditional; nothing is needed to be happy. Only to be alive is needed — and that you are, you already are.- Osho
-
You are too much identified with the false, the personality.- 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
-
A woman is one of the most beautiful phenomena in the world; not to be compared with anything else. The woman is the masterpiece of god.- Osho

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.- 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 come alone into this world, we go alone.- Osho
-
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
-
Life cannot be possessed. You cannot have it in your fist. If you want to have it, you have to keep your hands open.- 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.- Osho
-
Life is a beautiful journey if it is a process of constant learning, exploration. Then it is excitement every moment.- Osho
-
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
-
They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then think as much as you want!- 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
-
If you live with love, through love, you will live a great life, because love makes everything great.- Osho
-
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.- Osho
-
When I say be creative I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.- Osho
-
Conditional love is nothing but an infatuation, sexuality. Unconditional is the only way love can be.- Osho
-
Be - don't try to become. Within these two words, be and becoming, your whole life is contained. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance.- Osho
-
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.- 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
-
Whenever you plan for love, whenever deliberateness enters into it it becomes phony and false.- Osho
-
When sadness comes, just sit by the side and look at it and say, I am the watcher, I am not sadness.- 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
-
Perfect people don’t exist. And perfect people, if they existed, would be very boring. It is imperfection that keeps life interesting.- Osho

Trust is the highest form of the same energy as doubt. Doubt is the lowest rung of the ladder, and trust is the highest rung of the same ladder. Use doubt, use it joyfully- Osho
-
Never obey anyone’s command unless it is coming from within you also.- Osho
-
Everything is beautiful if inside your heart there is awareness.- Osho
-
Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something.- Osho
-
Witness is the highest growth of consciousness. There is nothing beyond it. To remain a witness, awake or asleep, is the whole process of meditation.- Osho
-
A man who lives life in its totality is a rainbow; he lives the whole spectrum of it.- Osho
-
To be here and now, you have to be in meditation, beyond mind.- 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
-
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
-
The greatest art is to attain a balance between all opposites,a balance betwn all polarities.Imbalance is the disease and balance is health.- Osho
-
To be responsible is to be free. To give the responsibility to somebody else is to be a prisoner.- Osho

Your mind has been conditioned for centuries by people who have not understood your real needs.- Osho

My people worship, but not in a church. They worship the beauty of existence.- Osho

Misery arises only when you try the impossible, because it can’t happen in the nature of things and you want it to happen.- Osho

Man is born only as a potential. He can become a thorn for himself and for others, he can also become a flower for himself and for others.- Osho
-
I don’t want followers, obedient people. I want intelligent friends, fellow travelers.- Osho
-
Remember one thing: that you should not leave this earth unless you have made it a little more beautiful, a little lovelier, a little more loving.- Osho

-
The world is a garland of millions of flowers, but running through all those flowers is a thread that keeps it together: that thread is love.- 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
-
Anybody who says that love is a hindrance on the path of self-realization is not a sage.- 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
-
To be in time is to be asleep: to be awake is to be in eternity.- 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
-
I have a deep reverence for everything that is alive, a reverence for life itself.- Osho
-
When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised.- Osho
-
If you want to learn anything, learn trust – nothing else is needed. If you are miserable, nothing else will help – learn trust. If you don’t feel any meaning in life and you feel meaningless, nothing will help – learn trust. Trust gives meaning because trust makes you capable of allowing the whole descend upon 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
-
Your marriage is a subtle politics of domination. Your fatherhood, motherhood, is a subtle politics.- Osho
-
I resolve never to make any resolutions because all resolutions are restrictions for the future. All resolutions are imprisonments.- Osho
-
If whatsoever you have been living can be conveyed by words, that means you have not lived at all.- Osho
-
Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.- Osho
-
The lover is an emperor; the creator is an emperor – without invading the whole world. He has invaded the whole universe out of sheer loving creativity.- 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

Ego is the greatest bondage, the only hell that I know of.- Osho

Life is very precious and the greatest treasure is hidden in it – and that treasure is of becoming a witness.- Osho
-
Renunciation follows awareness like a shadow.- Osho
-
Meditation has happen first, then character comes as a shadow to it. And if meditation does not happen, then your character is just a hypocrisy.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
Nobody is responsible except you. Nobody can make you angry, and nobody can make you happy.- Osho
-
Your honesty, Your love, Your compassion should come from your inner being, not from teachings and scriptures.- Osho

Mind: A beautiful servant, a dangerous master.- Osho
-
Love is just like a breeze: it comes, but you should not close your doors to keep the breeze inside.- Osho

You are being taught everything, but you are not being taught to be yourself. This is the ugliest form of society possible, because it makes everybody miserable.- Osho
-
A borrowed truth is the greatest lie in the world. Truth can only be true when it is based on your own experience, utterly your own experience.- Osho
-
Darkness is an absence of light. Ego is an absence of awareness.- Osho
-
God is a person; godliness is a quality. You cannot become God, but you can be godly.- Osho
-
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.- Osho
