Love what you do. Be meditative while you are doing it - whatsoever it is.- Osho
-
Intelligence comes from meditation, intelligence comes from rebellion, intelligence does not come from memory.- 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.- 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.

Its very nature is to reach to the ocean. It is not an effort, it is its intrinsic quality.- Osho

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

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.
