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.

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.

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

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.

-
Your real being flowers only with love. Ambition is against love. Anything that is against love is against you and your real life, your real destiny.- 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

There is no greater ecstasy than to know who you are.- Osho
-
Discover yourself, otherwise you have to depend on other people’s opinions who don’t know themselves.- Osho
-
Without possessions, success, fame; who are you?- 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
-
Be - don't try to become. Within these two words, be and becoming, your whole life is contained. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance.- Osho
-
The ego is just a useful fiction. Use it, but don't be deceived by it.- Osho
-
If you live with alertness, you live rightly. If you live in imitation, you live wrongly. To me there is only one sin: And that is not to be yourself. And to me there is only one virtue: And that is to know yourself.- 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.- Osho

If you remain always far, love will die. If you remain always near, love will die. Love can survive only in a continuous flowing relationship.- Osho

-
Power over others is ugly. It is inhuman, because to have power over somebody means to reduce the person to a thing. He becomes your possession.- 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
-
Die each moment so that you are renewed each moment.- 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

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

Unless you know yourself as eternal beings, part of the whole, you will remain afraid of death.- 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

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.- 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
-
Life is not a problem. To look at it as a problem is to take a wrong step. It is a mystery to be lived, loved, experienced.- 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

Meditation is the only magic in the world and the only miracle.- Osho

Once your intelligence and your innocence are available to you, just like two wings, the whole sky is yours. There are no more boundaries for you.- Osho

Falling in love you remain a child; rising in love you mature. By and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being. Not that you are in love—now you are love.- Osho
-
Let your life be integrated at the centre of the celebration. Only choose that which is Celebrating, Joyous.- Osho
-
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
-
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
-
The society is ill; individuals are victims. Society needs therapy; individuals simply need love. The society is the patient and needs hospitalization.- Osho
-
Love in its purest form is a sharing of joy. It asks nothing in return, it expects nothing. Love is a spiritual phenomenon; lust is physical. Ego is psychological; love is spiritual.- Osho
-
You create yourself moment to moment. You are mot born as a fixed entity, but only as an infinite. You are born as a seed, not as a tree.- Osho

Love is true only when it does not interfere in the privacy of the other person. It respects his individuality, his privacy.- Osho

Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.- Osho

Through meditation ultimately one finds the being. And the moment you have found the being there is nothing more to be found – you have come home.- 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
-
Celebration is the very nature of existence.- 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
-
This has been said again and again, down through the ages. All the religious people have been saying this; 'We come alone into this world, we go alone.' All togetherness is illusory.- Osho
-
Paradise is within you, in your state of no-mind. And hell is also within you, in your very mind. The choice is yours. You can move from the mind to no-mind; the bridge is witnessing.- Osho

I have a deep reverence for everything that is alive, a reverence for life itself.- Osho

If you can really see a beautiful rose of a beautiful sunset with your totality there is no need of any other discipline to become a Buddha.- 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
-
The beauty of facing life unprepared is tremendous. Then life has a newness, a youth; then life has a flow and freshness. Then life has so many surprises. And when life has so many surprises boredom never settles in you.- Osho
-
Destroying something, any idiot can do. Creating needs intelligence.- Osho

Consciousness without thinking: That’s what awareness is.- Osho

The mirror mirrors things, but mirroring is not an activity. It is just the nature of the mirror, that whatever comes before it is reflected.- Osho
-
The moment you accept youself you become beautiful.- Osho
-
Up to now, nobody has said that there is anything beyond enlightenment. That's why I say, I am a milestone. With me, a new chapter in the history of consciousness begins. Enlightenment will be now the beginning, not the end. Beginning of a non-ending process in all dimensions of richness.- Osho
-
Be realistic: Plan for a miracle.- Osho
-
When you cheat somebody, you are losing something of your inner being… something which is tremendously valuable.- 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.

Man is born only as a potential. He can become a thorn for himself and for others, he can also become a flower for himself and for others.- Osho

Be like an alone peak high in the sky. Why should you hanker to belong? You are not a thing! Things belong!- 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

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

Language is for non-lovers, those who are not in love. For lover, silence is enough language. without saying anything, they go on speaking.- Osho

You are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.- Osho
-
Drop the idea that attachment and love are one thing. They are enemies. It is attachment that destroys all love.- 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
-
Never sacrifice your life for anything! Sacrifice everything for life! Life is the ultimate goal.- Osho
-
Be a lotus flower. Be in the water, and do not let the water touch you.- Osho
-
Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.- Osho
-
These three things are to be taken note of: the lowest love is sex - it is physical - and the highest refinement of love is compassion. Sex is below love, compassion is above love; love is exactly in the middle- Osho

Once meditation settles and you and you fall into rhythm with existence, compassion is a consequence. Suddenly you feel you are in love with the whole.- Osho

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

-
When you live at the optimum, then you know what life is. And then you know the celebration of it and the benediction of it.- Osho
-
Suffering cannot exist without your support. Just withdraw your support, and suffering disappears.- 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
-
Perfect people don’t exist. And perfect people, if they existed, would be very boring. It is imperfection that keeps life interesting.- 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
-
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

Western man is missing the flowering of life because he knows nothing about meditation, and Eastern man is missing because he knows nothing of love.- Osho
-
Only a mediator knows a love that is not biological, that comes as a spiritual abundance, with a great urge to share.- Osho
-
The real religious man has to contribute to the world. He has to make it a little more beautiful than he found it when he came into the world.- Osho

Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.- Osho
-
A single insight into yourself is more valuable than all your scriptures. A single glimpse of your consciousness and you has entered the real temple.- Osho

Love is painful because it creates the way for bliss. Love is painful because it transforms, love is a mutation. Each transformation is going to be painful because the old has to be left for the new.- Osho
