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.

Two false persons go on meeting, and the two real persons remain worlds apart.

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

If you follow him, the only way is to be constantly on the move. Be a river.

It is only out of totality that one blooms, that the spring comes, and your life starts having color and music and poetry.
- 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
Die each moment so that you are renewed each moment.
- 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
Awareness is the remedy for all ills, because awareness makes you healthy, whole, and of course holy.

Consciousness without thinking: That’s what awareness is.
- Osho
Humanity will never be religious unless all organized religions disappear and religion becomes an individual commitment towards existence.
- Osho
Celebration is my religion, love is my message, and silence is my truth.
- 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
Belief is the opium which all the religions have been giving you in good doses. I am trying to destroy your addiction to the opium. My whole effort is to leave you alone.
- 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
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.

Love is just like a breeze: it comes, but you should not close your doors to keep the breeze inside.
- 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
Millions of people are suffering: they want to be loved but they don’t know how to love. And love cannot exist as a monologue; it is a dialogue, a very harmonious dialogue.
- Osho
Don't make me wholly responsible for your silence, because that will create a difficulty for you. Alone, what are you going to do? Then it becomes a kind of addiction, and I don't want you to be addicted to me. I don't want to be a drug to you.
- Osho
Life is precious, and it is a gift from existence. We should not waste it.
- 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. Zorba the Buddha, on the one hand, is the end of the old man—his religions, his politics, his nations, his racial discriminations, and all kinds of stupidities. 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.

If you are aware, you cannot be angry, because anger can exist only in a state of unawareness; that is a prerequisite for anger to exist.

I have been teaching you nothing else except to be more alive, more loving, more singing, more dancing.
- 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.

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

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
The moment you see that whatsoever you are in your own creation, you are freed from all outer causes and circumstances.

And somebody has asked me, Osho, when you said that, I heard, Life is a MISERY, not to be solved but to be lived. That is up to you. To me it is a mystery, not to be solved but to be lived, but you can hear it as misery.

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.

Accept the fact that we are strangers; that we don´t know who you are, that you don´t know who I am. I myself don´t know who I am, so how can you know?

A woman is to be loved, not understood.
- Osho
Truth is not a theory. Truth is not a word. Truth is an experience – an experience of one’s own infinite depths. To become one with “that which is” is the truth.
- Osho
Don’t seek, don’t search, don’t ask, don’t knock, don’t demand – relax. If you relax it comes, if you relax it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it.
- Osho
My function is very different from the function of Gautam Buddha. His function is only a small part of my philosophy. I want individuals to become enlightened, but I want also the whole of humanity to rise with the enlightened people. They may not become enlightened, but at least become conscious enough so that nations disappear, religions disappear, races disappear, and we can live as one humanity, as one earth.
- Osho

When peace starts dancing. It is bliss. When peace becomes active, overflowing, it is bliss.
- Osho
When you are utterly present in this moment, when you don't have any past and don't have any future ... when this cuckoo calling, this train passing, this dog barking, is all ... when THIS is all and there is no that, when the word 'here' is your whole reality and there is no 'there', when now contains all time and there is no then ... then you are in the state of samasati.
- Osho
Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. 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. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.
- 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 have a deep reverence for everything that is alive, a reverence for life itself.

The knowledgeable person lives with a question mark ‘?’ and the man of awe and wonder lives with an exclamation mark.

- Osho
Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.
- Osho
My function here is to destroy all hypocrisy in you.
- Osho
Money, power, and prestige are uncreative; not only uncreative but destructive activities. Beware of them!!
- Osho
Nobody should in any way interfere in anybody else’s life.
- Osho
Jealousy is almost like a shadow of love. If we can grow our love, it takes over the whole energy of jealousy and transforms it into love. It is an alchemical change.
- 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
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
Everything is beautiful if inside your heart there is awareness.
- Osho
The will to wholeness is inherent in everything, but only in man has it become conscious. Therefore man lives in tension, and only when this longing is fulfilled is his negative state of tension erased.

Love is a wine; you have to taste it, you have to drink it, you have to become drunk with it, only then do you know what it is.
- Osho
Do not seek a guru, because gurus are crippling. Anyone who gives you ready-made formulas is not a friend but an enemy.
- Osho
Love brings freedom. Loyalty brings slavery.
- 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
By ‘Love’ people mean a certain kind of monopoly understanding a simple fact: that the moment you possess a living being you have killed him.
- Osho
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.

- Osho
Be a lotus flower. Be in the water, and do not let the water touch you.

- Osho
The Zen saying is: Whenever such belly laughter happens – laughter like Bodhidharma’s – white lotuses start showering from the sky, from nowhere.

Misery arises only when you try the impossible, because it can’t happen in the nature of things and you want it to happen.

Mind always creates duality.
- Osho
The one you are looking for is you.
- Osho
Wherever you are, reality is. You are part of reality and you exist only as an organic part to reality. You cannot go away. You cannot separate yourself.
- Osho
Trust is the highest form of the same energy as doubt. Doubt is the lowest rung of the ladder, and trust is the highest rung of the same ladder. Use doubt, use it joyfully
- 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
The lover is an emperor; the creator is an emperor – without invading the whole world. He has invaded the whole universe out of sheer loving creativity.
- Osho
I want every one of my sannyasins to be utterly unique.
- 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
Eat, taste the food, and still remember that you are the watcher.
- Osho
There is no other miracle in the world than meditation. It is the only science of transforming you into a new man. Into a superman. The superman is needed very much, urgently, because only the superman can prevent this beautiful planet from being destroyed by pygmy politicians, by ugly religions. All these vested interests are going to destroy the most beautiful planet in the universe. You can do only one thing to save it, and that is to become a Buddha and spread your Buddhahood - share it.
- Osho
To be a sannyasin means you will be allowing freedom to the children, you will not impose anything on them, you will not impose your ideas; you will NOT like them to become imitators. Sannyas is just symbolic of a great freedom!
- Osho
To be in tune, to be harmonious with the universe, is bliss is joy, is music, is poetry. You start blooming the moment you are in tune with the whole.
- Osho
That is my whole teaching: just to be natural. Nature is Dharma, nature is Tao, and nature is Zen. And the moment you are natural, flowers will shower over you.
- Osho
Absence of consciousness is ego. Whenever the ego is absent, Love is present.

- 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
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
There is a morality which is imposed from the outside which is never in tune with your heart. And there is a morality that comes from within you: it is always in tune with your heart and in tune with heart of the universe. That’s authentic morality.
- Osho
Nobody can teach you love. Love you have to find yourself, within your being, by raising your consciousness to higer levels.

The mind should be trained to be a servant of the heart. Logic should serve love. And then life can become a festival of lights.
- 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
My whole teaching is this, accept yourself, love yourself, and celebrate yourself.
- Osho
My work consists to bring you out of your cages — Hindu, Christian, Jew, communist, theist, atheist.
- Osho
Just as on a rosebush roses blossom, on the bush of awareness roses also blossom—roses of goodness roses of beauty, roses of grace.
- 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
Life is not a means to some end somewhere in the future. Life is its own end, it’s own means. Life is all.
- 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
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

- Osho
Understanding is only that which has been experienced by the person himself.
- Osho
Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.
- Osho
Take it easy, and remember Easy is Right.
- Osho
Your whole idea about yourself is borrowed–borrowed from those who have no idea of who they are themselves.
- 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
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance.
- Osho
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. Only on the periphery are we separate; at the center we are one.
- Osho
Celebrate aloneness, celebrate your pure space, and great song will arise in your heart. And it will be a song of awareness; it will be a song of meditation
- Osho
We have to make laughter, rejoicing, dancing, singing, part of a healthy being – just overflowing well-being.

When Mind knows, We call it Knowledge, When Heart knows, We call it Love, and When Being knows, We call it Meditation.
- Osho
Never ask, Who is my real friend? Ask, Am I a real friend to somebody? That is the right question. Always be concerned with yourself.
- Osho
It(existence) has given me so much, there is no way to pay anything back; there is no word even to express gratitude. The only way is that my every breath should be used in helping people to reach to the same Everest of consciousness.
- Osho
When you say that hole existence as a tremendous dance as a celebration you are liberate by it. It is celebration that celebration, it is love that liberate.
- Osho
Truth is a search, not a faith. It is an inquiry, not a belief. It is a question, a quest.
- Osho
The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.
- Osho
Drop the idea that attachment and love are one thing. They are enemies. It is attachment that destroys all love.
- 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
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
When you cheat somebody, you are losing something of your inner being… something which is tremendously valuable.
- Osho
Love is a bird and it loves to be free. It needs the whole sky to grow.
- Osho
You cannot destroy inner emptiness. It is your very being. You can cover it with things, but sooner or later you will have to encounter it. And it is better if you encounter it sooner.
- Osho
Just see how much respect God has paid to you. You are a masterpiece – unrepeatable, incomparable, utterly unique.
- Osho
You have to relax, you have to stop judging.
- Osho
Growth means you are not moving in a circle, that something new is happening every day, every moment.
- Osho
Life is not a tragedy, it is a comedy. To be alive means to have a sense of humour.
- Osho
Each moment is an end unto itself. Enjoy It., die into it, disappear into it, and then something miraculous happens: great eternal life descends in you.
- Osho
People say love is blind because they do not know what love is. I say unto you, only love has eyes; other than love, everything is blind.
- Osho
The only courage is to live life totally; there is no other courage.
- Osho
When one is total, life flowers — and that flowering is spirituality. Spirituality is not an attitude, it is not a discipline. It is an outcome of a life lived totally, joyfully, delightfully; of a life of no complaint; of a life lived courageously, intensely. Then this flowering happens.
- Osho
Be realistic: Plan for a miracle.
- Osho
Love brings freedom. And a love that does not bring freedom is not love.
- Osho
Don’t be serious about seriousness. Laugh about it, be a little foolish. Don’t condemn foolishness; it has its own beauties.
- 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
God is without purpose. The sky exists without purpose. Flowers bloom without purpose and stars shine without purpose. What happens to poor man that he cannot live without purpose?
- 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
Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.
- Osho
Mind is something unnatural; it never becomes your natural state. But meditation is a natural state — which we have lost.
- Osho
Harmony is happiness, and harmony is heaven. And harmony happens only when you are in tune with the whole. To be with the whole is to be holy.
- Osho
Only a blind man can easily define what light is. When you do not know, you are bold. Ignorance is always bold; knowledge hesitates. And the more you know, the more you feel that the ground underneath is dissolving. The more you know, the more you feel how ignorant you are.
- Osho
Love is a sharing. But before you can share, you have to have it! Meditation should be the first thing. Meditation is the center, love is the circumference of it. Meditation is the flame, love is the radiation of it. Meditation is the flower, love is the fragrance of it.
- Osho
A really mature person cannot be serious, there is nothing to be serious about. The whole of life is fun, it is a play, a play of consciousness. And that's what meditation reveals to you - that the whole of life is a beautiful play of energy. The same energy is in the trees, in the stars, in the rivers, in the mountains, in you, in animals. It is the same energy dancing in different forms. We in the East have called it 'leela'. Leela means god's play.
- Osho
Live the day and live the night too. Dont miss anything. Make your life such a complimentary whole that everything fits together and makes it a piece of art.

Don’t sacrifice the essential for the non-essential

A person who wastes his life in accumulating things that can be purchased is simply being stupid, because those are not the things which can give meaning to your life.
