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.

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.

Move into the vast, into the infinite, and by and by, learn to trust it. Leave yourself in the hands of life.

My function is very different from the function of Gautam Buddha. His function is only a small part of my philosophy.

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.

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.

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
A truth cannot be read in a scripture, a truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.
- 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
God is No Where, Life in Now Here.
- 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
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
Mind is something unnatural; it never becomes your natural state. But meditation is a natural state — which we have lost.
- Osho
Just look at life with more playful eyes. Don’t be serious. Seriousness becomes like a blindness. Don’t pretend to be a thinker, a philosopher. Just simply be a human being.
- Osho
I love life. That’s why I give teachings of celebration, celebrate everything. From body to soul, physical to spiritual, sex to superconsciousness, everything is divine for me.
- Osho
One day you will disappear on a funeral pyre – just into nothingness, as smoke. Don’t get attached to anything.
- Osho
Celebration is my religion, love is my message, and silence is my truth.
- Osho
To avoid pain, they avoid pleasure. To avoid death, they avoid life.
- Osho
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
Only people suffering from inferiority complex want to impress others. A really superior person never compares himself with anybody else.
- 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
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
Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love.
- Osho
Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. . . . Easy is right means natural is right, effortlessness is right, egolessness is right.
- Osho
Enlightenment is nothing but your consciousness being concentrated on a single point — now and here.
- 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
The greatest poverty of all is the absence of love. The man who has not developed the capacity to love lives in a private hell of his own. A man who is filled with love is in heaven.
- Osho
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously; then there will not be any darkness.
- 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
Love means the art of being with others. Meditation means the art of being with yourself. Both are two aspects of the same coin.
- Osho
Please watch how you are clinging to your sorrow, your misery. Drop it, let go of it! And your life will have a great sweetness.
- 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
- Osho
Bliss needs to be shared; it exists only in sharing.
- Osho
To be in the middle is to be beyond suffering.
- Osho
Love is the radiance, the fragrance of knowing oneself, of being oneself.
- 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.
- Osho
If jealousy disappears and love still remains, then you have something solid in your life which is worth having.
- 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
If you really want peace on earth, create peace in your heart, in your being. That is the right place to begin with and then spread.
- 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
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.
- Osho
I don’t give u any discipline, any morality. I simple give u a clarity of vision. Out of that clarity whatsoever comes is good, is divine, and is moral.
- 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
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
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. The only false religion has rules because false religion is a game.
- Osho
Love the person, but give the person total freedom. Love the person, but from the very beginning make it clear that you are not selling your freedom.
- Osho
Be – don’t try to become.
- Osho
Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.
- 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
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.
- Osho
There is no other miracle in the world than meditation. It is the only science of transforming you into a new man.
- 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
Celebration is the very nature of existence.
- 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.
- 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
Don’t go on with borrowed knowledge. Otherwise you will forget that you are ignorant, and you will remain ignorant.
- Osho
Don't try to be a guru, don't try to be a helper. because you will disturb; you will create more problems.
- Osho
Mind is a continuous thirst for more. It never finds fulfillment.
- Osho
If you can laugh totally, it will give you a moment of no-time, no-min. The mind lives logically with expectations, laughter is something that comes from the beyond.
- Osho
Commit as many mistakes as possible, remembering only one thing: don’t commit the same mistake again. And you will be growing.
- Osho
Do not imitate anyone, do not follow anyone, otherwise you will be just a pseudo existence - and that is worse than suicide.
- Osho
Love is the ultimate, the end. You love for love’s own sake. It is not a means to anything else, it is its own end.
- Osho
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance. Buddha has defined compassion as love plus meditation.
- Osho
Love and respect yourself and never compromise for anything. And then you will be surprised how much growth starts happening of its own accord.. as if rocks have been removed and the river has started flowing.
- 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
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
Consciousness is never judgmental. Consciousness is only a mirror.
- 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
Don´t be unnecessarily burdened by the past. Go on closing the chapters that you have read; there is no need to go back again and again.
- Osho
Laughter is a tremendously helpful method to shake off all dust that everybody gathers without his knowing.
- Osho
Life is our philosophy. Existence is our philosophy. To be in tune with the world, to be in harmony with the cosmos, is our religion.
- Osho
It is beautiful to be alone, it is also beautiful to be in love, to be with people. And they are complementary, not contradictory.
- 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
You should live in the world but remain untouched by it. You should remain in the world, but the world should not remain in you.
- Osho
The person who trusts can relax into existence. The person who cannot trust remains tense, remains anxious, afraid.
- Osho
Love needs two things: it has to be rooted in freedom and it has to know the art of trust.
- Osho
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.
- Osho
Respect your life. Out of that respect you will start respecting life in others.
- Osho
Only the individual can know what meditation is and only the individual can know the beauty, the ecstasy, and the dance of this immensely beautiful existence.
- Osho
The terrorism is not in the bombs, in your hands; the terrorism is in your unconscious.
- 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.
- 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
If you love yourself, you will be surprised: others will love you. Nobody loves a person who does not love himself.
- Osho
Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated.
- Osho
My people worship, but not in a church. They worship the beauty of existence.
- Osho
Be Realistic: Plan for a Miracle.
- Osho
Don’t postpone anything beautiful for tomorrow. Live intensely, live totally, here and now.
- Osho
Truth can only arise within you. Nobody else gives it to you and with truth comes beauty, followed by good.
- Osho
Awareness is the remedy for all ills, because awareness makes you healthy, whole, and of course holy.
- 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
Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.
- Osho
There is no need of any competition with anybody. You are yourself, and as you are, you are perfectly good. Accept yourself. This is the way existence wants you to be.
- 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
Only silence communicates the truth as it is.
- Osho
If you cannot love yourself, you don’t know even the taste of love or what love means.
- Osho
To move on the path of meditation is to move on the path of life ... life's joys, life's songs, life's laughter. And take everything easy. Easy is right.
- 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
Just a little detachment from the ego is needed.
- Osho
Your real being only flowers with unconditional love. Ambition is against love. Anything that is against love is against you and your real life.
- Osho
When you love, love as if the person is a god, not less than that. Never love a woman as a woman and never love a man as a man.
- 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 has to be discovered — it is already there. And how to discover it? The more you are, the less is the possibility to discover love; the less you are, the more is the possibility to discover it. When the river disappears into the ocean, it discovers the ocean — it becomes the ocean.
- 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
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 choiceless is to be in meditation. To be choiceless is to enter the eternal.
- Osho
Love is not manageable, it is simply something that happens, and the moment you try to manage it everything misfire.
- 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
Meditation is the only magic in the world and the only miracle.
- 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
Your trust in the total opens all your sensitivities to their extreme. This whole existence becomes a sheer dance, a sheer celebration.
- Osho
If whatsoever you have been living can be conveyed by words, that means you have not lived at all.
- Osho
If your heart says to take the jump, then take the jump, then risk, then be adventurous.
- Osho
My whole teaching is this, accept yourself, love yourself, and celebrate yourself.
- Osho
It is a strange thing, that every child is born with a closed hand, and every body dies with an open hand.
- 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
We come alone into this world, we go alone.
- Osho
Even if they can find a lover they demand perfection, and the love is destroyed because of that demand.
- Osho
Dropping the mask and bringing out your original face is the whole alchemy of meditation.
- 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
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
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
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
This has been said again and again, down through the ages. All the religious people have been saying this; 'We come alone into this world, we go alone.' All togetherness is illusory.
- Osho
The people who ask what is the meaning of life are the people who have missed life, who are alive because they are still breathing; otherwise they are dead.
- 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
Mind: A beautiful servant, a dangerous master.
- 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
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
You can go on changing the outer for lives and you will never be satisfied. Unless the inner changes, the outer can never be perfect.
- Osho
Love equalizes people. You give because you love, you give because you respect. You give and allow the man to feel, to be honored, that is true giving.
- 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
Only by knowing oneself does one become capable of knowing the ultimate, because at the very core of your being the ultimate is present.
- Osho
Truth can never be borrowed from anybody.
- Osho
Paradise is within you, in your state of no-mind. And hell is also within you, in your very mind.
- Osho
Make laughter your prayer. Laugh more. Nothing releases your blocked energies as doe’s laughter. Nothing makes you innocent as doe’s laughter.
- Osho
We need a world - a new man, a new woman, a new child, who has intelligence. Not to imitate, not to deceive, but to stand on his own with power and integrity. Even if it means that he will be condemned by the whole world, it does not matter. What ultimately matters is that you have your own face.
- 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
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
Life is precious, and it is a gift from existence. We should not waste it.
- Osho
Through meditation ultimately one finds the being. And the moment you have found the being there is nothing more to be found – you have come home.
- Osho
All beliefs suffocate and all beliefs help you not to be really alive. They deaden your being.
- Osho
Hate can very easily turn into love, just as love can turn into hate. They are two sides of the same coin.
- Osho
It is imperfect, and that’s why it is growing; if it was perfect it would have been dead. Growth is possible only if there is imperfection.
- Osho
In my vision, the thing that man needs first and foremost is a meditative consciousness.
- Osho
Accept yourself as you are. And that is the most difficult thing in the world, because it goes against your training, your education, your culture. From the very beginning you have been told how you should be. Nobody has ever told you that you are good as you are.
- Osho
Mind, and mind’s hold on you, is the imprisonment. Get rid of the mind.
- 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
Language is for non-lovers, those who are not in love. For lover, silence is enough language. without saying anything, they go on speaking.
- 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
Only authentic human beings can create a society which will be joyous, ecstatic, and in the real sense, human.
- Osho
It is very rare to find a person who accepts himself – because the moment he accepts himself, he is reborn.
- 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
If you live with love, through love, you will live a great life, because love makes everything great.
- Osho
Every man has the potential to become enlightened. If he does not become, he is responsible — nobody else is responsible for it.
- Osho
Bravery does not mean being fearless. It means to be full of fear but still not being dominated by it.
- Osho
Remember, meditation is not something that is done by the mind, it is the absence of the mind. When the mind stops, meditation happens. It is not something out of the mind, it is something beyond the mind.
- Osho
When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.
- Osho
Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.
- Osho
Drop comparing--and jealousy disappears, meanness disappears, phoniness disappears. But you can drop it only if you start growing your inner treasures.
- Osho
I say to you: light the lamp of independent thinking. Don’t become a slave to anyone by accepting his thoughts. Truth belongs to those who are their own master.
- Osho
Truth certainly liberates, but the truth has to be your own. Only then it liberates.
- Osho
Consciousness plus thinking is Waking, Consciousness minus thinking is Samadhi, Unconsciousness plus thinking is Dreaming, Unconsciousness minus thinking is Sleep.
