A real religious man is one who has no past, who has no autobiography, who is continuously new, each moment slipping with GOD. He does not bother – what has happened, has happened – finished! Put a full stop it, and never look back. Go on...he is always calling you ahead, and ahead. He is always persuading you to move into new territories of being: from lust to love, from love to prayer - and there are higher realms than prayer. And he is constantly on the move. If you follow him, the only way is to be constantly on the move. Be a river.- Osho

The only authentic responsibility is towards your own potential. Values have not to be imposed on you. They should grow with your awareness, in you.- Osho
-
I am not going to give you a destination. I can only give you a direction - awake, throbbing with life, unknown, always surprising, unpredictable. I'm not going to give you a map. 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.

The feminine is more powerful than the masculine, the soft is more powerful than the hard, the water is more powerful than the rock.- 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
-
Do not imitate anyone, do not follow anyone, otherwise you will be just a pseudo existence - and that is worse than suicide.- 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
-
Be aware – deep down you are really attached to your negative emotions. They are your ego.- Osho

-
Courage is a love affair with the unknown.- Osho

Listening is a rare art, one of the last arts. Listening means not only hearing with the ears but hearing from the heart, in utter silence.- Osho
-
A real prayer arises out of gratitude, never out of fear and greed. A real prayer arises out of love for truth.- Osho

-
To be in time is to be asleep: to be awake is to be in eternity.- Osho

-
Without possessions, success, fame; who are you?- 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
-
Don’t cling to anything. Clinging is the cause of our being unconscious.- Osho
-
No thought, no mind, no choice — just being silent, rooted in yourself.- 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
-
Unless you love yourself, you can’t love anybody. Be selfish.- Osho

-
Sannyas is only a declaration. The work is meditation. In one single word, my religion is complete, and that is meditation.- 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
-
To me, this is the only strength, the only power – that we can transform life, we can transform consciousness.- Osho
-
Misery comes the moment you become clinging, attached. The moment you put conditions on life.- Osho

-
Religion is nothing but a science to attain wisdom, understanding, to know what life is, and to live it in utter celebration.- Osho
-
Love makes you wise but never knew. Knowledge makes you cunning and clever but never loving.- 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
-
The moment you see that whatsoever you are in your own creation, you are freed from all outer causes and circumstances.- Osho

-
A man who loves himself takes the first step towards real love.- 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
-
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.- 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
-
Anybody who says that love is a hindrance on the path of self-realization is not a sage.- 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
-
Truth can whisper its mysteries into your ears only when you are absolutely empty – emptiness is its mysteries into your ears only when you are absolutely empty – emptiness is purity.- Osho
-
Whatsoever you do with awareness is right. Right and wrong is not a distinction between objects; right and wrong is distinction between consciousnesses.- Osho
-
Life is not a tension anywhere except in the minds of humanity.Life is not a tension anywhere except in the minds of humanity.- 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
-
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.- Osho
-
Love needs two things: it has to be rooted in freedom and it has to know the art of trust.- Osho
-
These are the only two real emotions and love. If you don’t love, you will be in fear. If you are in fear, you cannot love. If you love, fear is impossible.- Osho
-
Real love makes you more of an individual. It does not efface your individuality, it gives you individuality. Real love is very respectful.- Osho

-
As you become more and more sensitive, more and more sensuous, you will see more and more beauty around deeper you’re in side, the greater the beauty.- Osho
-
The still point… There is a point within you where nothing ever moves – no movement from or to, no stirring, no sound created by any instrument. Nobody is there, just stillness, but that stillness is the dance and that stillness is the music.- Osho
-
If you can fine our original man, you have found everything that this existence contains—the entire splendor, all the glory, all the ceremony, all the joy.- 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
-
The society is ill; individuals are victims. Society needs therapy; individuals simply need love. The society is the patient and needs hospitalization.- Osho
-
If you are sad you are wrong; if you are joyful you are right.- Osho
-
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
-
God happens only when you have moved out of the way and left yourself totally empty, spacious. It is a very strange phenomenon: The guest only comes inside the house when the host disappears.- Osho
-
I am a natural person. I have no charisma, and I don’t believe in charisma. I don’t believe in methods - even if I use them, I don’t believe in them. I am a natural person, very ordinary. I can be lost in a crowd and you will not be able to find me. I don’t lead you, I accompany you.- Osho
-
I am crazy, but you are crazier! And that is the only bond between us - I am crazy, you are crazier.- Osho
-
Accept the wholeness of life; because to me the acceptance of the whole is the only holy experience in the world.- 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
-
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
-
To fight with the mind is to give it reality, to recognize its power. There is no need to fight. One has just to be a witness. Without any fight, just being a witness, mind disappears.- Osho
-
Love never should be forced, love never should be an attempt. It should not be in the mind at all - If it happens, then it is beautiful.- Osho
-
The word devil is very beautiful, if you read it backwards it becomes lived. That which is lived becomes divine and that which is not lived becomes the devil.- 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
-
That’s why children look so beautiful because they are yet full of hope, full of dreams, and they have not yet known frustration.- Osho
-
Religion has nothing to do with churches and temples and rituals: religion is born only when somebody pulsates with love.- Osho
-
Meditation is the only way to discover your deathlessness.- Osho
-
Grace is a by-product of meditation. The more silent you become inside, the more graceful you become on the outside.- Osho
-
Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.- Osho
-
At the center we are one. At the periphery of existence we appear to be separate. And to know the truth of your being is to know the whole.- Osho
-
Thinking is a very low activity; it is of the mind. Meditation is the highest within you; it is beyond mind.- Osho
-
Never belong to a crowd; never belong to a nation; never belong to a religion; never belong to a race. Belong to the whole existence. Why limit yourself to small things? When the whole is available, only stupid people will cling to small things. Be oceanic.- Osho
-
No-mind is not against mind: no-mind is beyond mind.- Osho
-
Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated.- Osho
-
Truth is not somewhere in the future. It is not goal but the source. You are coming from truth. Of you can find the source again you will know what truth in.- Osho
-
A truth cannot be read in a scripture, a truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.- 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
-
Contentment is a quality of your centre; it is not found on the circumference. Fulfillment is when you have arrived at your real, authentic being.- Osho
-
Discover yourself, otherwise you have to depend on other people’s opinions who don’t know themselves.- Osho
-
Don’t allow the fear to overpower you, allow love to overpower you. Love comes from the centre, fear always comes from the periphery.- Osho
-
Whenever you plan for love, whenever deliberateness enters into it it becomes phony and false.- 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
-
The only way to be desire less is to be wakeful, watchful. Watchfulness creates a light in you, and in that light the darkness of desire cannot enter.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
With fear, hate, jealousy-anything whatsoever- don’t create a problem out of it. Accept it, allow it, pass through it, and you will defeat all suffering.- Osho
-
A witness is not a judge. A witness is only a mirror. It shows u clearly the situation, and it gives u a spontaneous response.- 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
-
The fundamental thing is to drop the split, to become one. Be one, and then all else is possible; even the impossible is possible.- Osho
-
Intelligence never grows by imitation: Intelligence grows by experimentation. Intelligence grows by taking challenges.- 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
-
To discover your being is the beginning of life. Then each moment is a mew discovery, each moment brings a new joy; a new mystery opens its doors.- Osho
-
I am here to seduce you into a love of life; to help you to become a little more poetic; to help you die to the mundane and to the ordinary so that the extraordinary explodes in your life.- Osho
-
Celebration is my religion, love is my message, and silence is my truth.- Osho
-
The first: freedom. The second: uniqueness of individuality. The third: love. The fourth: meditation. The fifth: non-seriousness. The sixth: playfulness. The seventh: creativity. The eighth: sensitivity. The ninth: gratefulness. Tenth: a feeling of the mysterious. These ten non-commandments constitute my basic attitude towards reality, towards man's freedom from all kinds of spiritual slavery.- Osho
-
To avoid pain, they avoid pleasure. To avoid death, they avoid life.- 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

-
Unless the truth is your own experience, whatever you believe about truth is only a belief. And all beliefs are lies, and all believers are blind.- Osho
-
Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.- Osho
-
It is better to be ignorant; at least the ignorance is yours. It is authentic, it is real, sincere and honest!- Osho
-
Life is in understanding your innermost being. Because only then can you become a constantly overflowing source of beauty, love and joy.- Osho
-
Find godliness and good will come on its own accord. And when good comes on its own accord, it has a beauty, a grace, a simplicity, a humbleness.- 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
-
Any religion, any ideology, that is based only on belief, or faith, is bound to cripple your intelligence.- Osho
-
Never sacrifice your life for anything! Sacrifice everything for life! Life is the ultimate goal.- 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.

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

Accept yourself as you are. And that is the most difficult thing in the world, because it goes against your training, your education, your culture. From the very beginning you have been told how you should be. Nobody has ever told you that you are good as you are.- Osho
-
Meditation is perhaps the master key for all our problems.- 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

-
Consciousness without thinking: That’s what awareness is.- Osho
-
Remember, meditation is not something that is done by the mind, it is the absence of the mind. When the mind stops, meditation happens. It is not something out of the mind, it is something beyond the mind.- Osho

This world is just a game. Winners lose and losers win the game is still the same. This life is just a play. Those who say dont know and those who know dont say.- Osho
-
Humanity will never be religious unless all organized religions disappear and religion becomes an individual commitment towards existence.- 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.

-
Find the light and it will show you the path. The path that is shown by your own light is the only path that is right.- 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
