-
Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.- 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
-
Discover yourself, otherwise you have to depend on other people’s opinions who don’t know themselves.- Osho

A man who lives life in its totality is a rainbow; he lives the whole spectrum of 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
-
That which makes you miserable is the only sin. That which takes you away from yourself is the only thing to be avoided.- Osho

-
Start enjoying that which you are, and then this very ordinary life suddenly becomes extraordinary. Then these ordinary days have such tremendous poetry.- 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
-
Meditation is something natural, something that is already hidden inside you and is trying to find its way to reach to the open sky, to the sun, to the air.- Osho
-
I don’t want you to worship Buddha’s; I want you to become Buddha’s. That is the only right worship. If you love become it.- Osho
-
Mind is something unnatural; it never becomes your natural state. But meditation is a natural state — which we have lost.- 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
-
If you love a person, you accept the total person. With all the defects. Because those defects are a part of the person. Never try to change a person you love, because the very effort to change says that you love half, and the other half of the person is not accepted. When you love, you simply love.- Osho
-
If your heart says to take the jump, then take the jump, then risk, then be adventurous.- Osho
-
Remember it is not only you who are seeking truth – truth is also seeking you.- 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
-
Humanity will never be religious unless all organized religions disappear and religion becomes an individual commitment towards existence.- 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
-
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

It is not a question of money, power, and prestige; it is a question of what intrinsically you want to do. Do it, irrespective of the results, and your boredom will disappear.- Osho
-
Always off with the river of life. Never try to go against the current, and never try to go faster than the river. Just move in absolute relaxation.- 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 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
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.- Osho

The moment you are interested in becoming somebody else you become complex. To be content with yourself as you are is simple.- 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
-
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

Prayer is gratitude. Prayer is thankfulness.- 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
-
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
-
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

To love means to drop the ego, to drop yourself. Love means not to BE.- Osho

-
Only a mediator knows a love that is not biological, that comes as a spiritual abundance, with a great urge to share.- 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
-
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

Freedom is our most precious treasure. Don’t lose it for anything. . . .- 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
-
You become more divine as you become more creative. All the religions of the world have said God is the creator. I don’t know whether he is the creator or not, but one thing I know: the more creative you become, the more godly you become. When your creativity comes to a climax, when your whole life becomes creative, you live in God. So he must be the creator because people who have been creative have been closest to him. Love what you do. Be meditative while you are doing it - whatsoever it is.- Osho
-
People love freedom – but nobody wants responsibility. And they come together, they are inseparable.- Osho

Love and freedom are two sides of the coin. It is one flower. And it can blossom only when both are allowed dignity and respect.- Osho

Conditional love is nothing but an infatuation, sexuality. Unconditional is the only way love can be.- Osho

-
Don’t cling to anything. Clinging is the cause of our being unconscious.- 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
-
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

-
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. The only false religion has rules because false religion is a game.- Osho

All waiting is futile, all waiting is sheer wastage.- Osho
-
Celebration is the very nature of existence.- Osho
