Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.- 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

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

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

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

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.

My whole love and respect is for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has courage.

You don't need somebody to interpret for you what a beautiful sunrise it is.- Osho

-
Aloneness is a flower, a lotus blooming in your heart. Aloneness is positive, aloneness is health.- 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

Be like an alone peak high in the sky. Why should you hanker to belong? You are not a thing! Things belong!- 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. I trust in the individual categorically. Nobody up to now has trusted in the individual in such a way. So all those things can be removed. Now all that is left to you is a state of meditation which simply means a state of utter silence. Even the word meditation makes it look heavier. It is better to just call it a simple, innocent silence.- Osho
-
Experience life in all possible ways -- good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light, summer-winter. Experience all the dualities. Don't be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become.- Osho

Remember it is not only you who are seeking truth – truth is also seeking you.- 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

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

The terrorism is not in the bombs, in your hands; the terrorism is in your unconscious.- Osho

If you start listening to the body, listening to nature, listening to your inner being, you will be more and happier.- Osho
-
Intelligence comes from meditation, intelligence comes from rebellion, intelligence does not come from memory.- Osho

My definition of meditation is that it is simply an effort to jump into the unconscious.- 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

I would hate to be respected by the present humanity -it does not have that intelligence, nor has it that heart, nor has it that being.- Osho
-
Love cannot be taught, it can only be caught.- 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
-
If you enter heaven because other forced you to act according to certain precepts, certain commandments, you will regret even in heaven.- 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 is life, love is god, love is sannyas.- Osho
-
I don't want anybody to cling to me, to be attached to me in any way. My whole effort is to give you total freedom, and methods so that whatever you want, you can create it within yourself. Not even God is needed, nothing is needed ― you are enough unto yourself.- Osho
-
Any meditation that is of worth will be alive even in the marketplace. Because a marketplace is nothing once you attain to the meditative state.- Osho

Go beyond the mind — and the way beyond the mind is very simple — just become a watcher of the mind.- Osho
-
Your daily life is your temple, and your religion. Act in awareness, act consciously, and many things will start changing.- Osho
-
Reaction is always unconscious; and response is always conscious.- Osho
-
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. Once you start feeling responsible for your own life you start growing, because then there is no point in wasting time in postponing, in waiting. Nobody is coming to help you. All waiting is futile, all waiting is sheer wastage.- Osho
-
Love is true only when it is spontaneous, unplanned, unpracticed, uncultivated, un-thought.- 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
-
Every man, every woman is born with a bird in the heart. The heart has wings, but the heart can open its wings only in the sky if silence.- Osho
-
Sadness is silent, it is yours. It is coming because you are alone. It is giving you a chance to go deeper into your aloneness. Rather than jumping from one shallow happiness to another shallow happiness and wasting your life, it is better to use sadness as a means for meditation. Witness it. It is a friend! It opens the door of your eternal aloneness.- Osho
-
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
-
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
-
Humanity will never be religious unless all organized religions disappear and religion becomes an individual commitment towards existence.- Osho
-
When peace starts dancing. It is bliss. When peace becomes active, overflowing, it is bliss.- Osho
-
Nobody can say anything about you. Whatsoever people say is about themselves. But you become very shaky, because you are still clinging to a false center. That false center depends on others, so you are always looking to what people are saying about you.- Osho
-
My word for prayer is love. Forget the word prayer, replace it with love. Love is not for some invisible God. Love is for the visible -- human beings, animals, trees, oceans, mountains. Spread your wings of love as far and wide as you can.- 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
-
Growth means you are not moving in a circle, that something new is happening every day, every moment.- Osho
-
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. The only false religion has rules because false religion is a game.- Osho
-
One day you will disappear on a funeral pyre – just into nothingness, as smoke. Don’t get attached to anything.- Osho
-
Only a mediator knows what life is, because he has reached the very source of eternity.- Osho
-
Remember it is a very fundamental law. You may not get something that you want, but you always get that which you need. Somehow the universe goes on fulfilling your needs; you may understand, you may not understand.- Osho
-
You need either to create something or to discover something. Either bring your potential to actuality or go inwards to find yourself, but do something with your freedom.- Osho

-
Sharing is the most precious religious experience. Sharing is good.- Osho
-
why wait for reasons to laugh? Life as it is should be reason enough to laugh. it is so absurd. it is so ridiculous. it is so beautiful, so wonderful! it is all sorts of things together. it is a great cosmic joke. Laughter is the real religion. Everthing else is just metaphysics.- Osho
-
Life is for those who know how to celebrate.- 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
-
Eat, taste the food, and still remember that you are the watcher.- Osho
-
Fools are more healthy then the so-called wise. Thy live in the moment and they know that thy are fools, so thy are not worried about what others think about them.- 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
-
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
-
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance.- Osho
