If jealousy disappears and love still remains, then you have something solid in your life which is worth having.- 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

Real love is not an escape from loneliness, real love is an overflowing aloneness. One is so happy in being alone that one would like to share.- 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.

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

When you are Yourself, There is Truth, there is Beauty, There is Grace, there is Ecstasy.- Osho

The moment you experience your own being, you have experienced the being of this whole universe because your heartbeat is part of the heartbeat of the universe.- 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

-
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
-
Love brings freedom. And a love that does not bring freedom is not love.- Osho

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.

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.

-
The ego is just a useful fiction. Use it, but don't be deceived by it.- 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 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
-

The first thing that should be a foundation for your whole life is the art of meditation; anything else should come later on.- Osho

-
If you are absolute without mind, just pure consciousness, time stops completely, disappears, leaving no trace behind.- 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.

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.

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.- Osho
