Osho Talks on Key Issues for The Future - Osho Discourse

No-Thought for the Day Sharing Sitemap

It is better to be ignorant; at least the ignorance is yours. It is authentic, it is real, sincere and honest!
- Osho
All conditionings are based on belief. And my whole effort is that experience should be the only criterion not belief.
- Osho
I do not give you any discipline, any philosophy. I simply help you to bring out your own consciousness into a state of flowering.
- Osho
The knowledgeable person lives with a question mark ‘?’ and the man of awe and wonder lives with an exclamation mark.
- Osho
Respect your life. Out of that respect you will start respecting life in others.
- Osho
Conditional love is nothing but an infatuation, sexuality. Unconditional is the only way love can be.
- Osho
Ego is the greatest bondage, the only hell that I know of.
- 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
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
I say to you: light the lamp of independent thinking. Don’t become a slave to anyone by accepting his thoughts. Truth belongs to those who are their own master.
- Osho
Don’t be angry at life. It is not life that is frustrating you, it is you who are not listening to life.
- 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
Life is not a tragedy, it is a comedy. To be alive means to have a sense of humour.
- Osho
When your ego is no more, only then will you know who you are.
- 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
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
Just see how much respect God has paid to you. You are a masterpiece – unrepeatable, incomparable, utterly unique.
- 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
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
You are rich if you have tasted the nectar of your own consciousness. You are rich if you are capable of sharing your love unconditionally.
- 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
When I say be creative I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.
- Osho
First principle of an authentic religious man is to accept himself as he is, without any judgment—and only from there does your authentic pilgrimage begin.
- 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
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
Love makes you feel welcome in the world. Love makes you a part of existence; it destroys alienation. Then you are no mere an outsider here, but utterly needed.
- Osho
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.
- Osho
Don’t expect, and there will be no frustration. Frustration is just a shadow which follows expectation.
- Osho
Life is not logic, life is not philosophy. Life is a dance, a song, a celebration! It is more like love and less like logic.
- Osho
Bliss needs to be shared; it exists only in sharing.
- Osho
The greatest freedom is to be free of one’s own mind.
- Osho
Don’t move the way fear makes you move. Move the way love makes you move. Move the way joy makes you move.
- Osho
Respect your life. Out of that respect, you will start respecting life in others.
- Osho
Freedom is our most precious treasure. Don’t lose it for anything. . . .
- Osho
We have to change this world by celebrating, by dancing, by singing, by music, by meditation by love, not by struggle.
- 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
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
Love is a bird and it loves to be free. It needs the whole sky to grow.
- Osho
The only refuge is the perfection of wisdom, the perfection of meditation.
- Osho
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 for sympathy. Be happy and love will be flowing towards you. Love is the right coin; sympathy is the wrong coin. It looks like love, it is not love.
- Osho
This I call true religion – playfulness, lovingness, cheerfulness.
- Osho
Anything that gives you freedom is right, and anything that destroys your freedom is wrong.
- Osho
So the second thing to remember is never to demand perfection. You have no right to demand anything from anybody. If somebody loves you, be thankful, but don’t demand anything—because the other has no obligation to love you.
- Osho
When you love, love as if the person is a god, not less than that. Never love a woman as a woman and never love a man as a man.
- Osho
The greatest fear in the world is the opinion of others, and the moment you are unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.
- 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
Nobody else can destroy you except you; nobody else can save you except you. You are the Judas and you are the Jesus.
- Osho
To be here and now, you have to be in meditation, beyond mind.
- Osho
Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously… Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul.
- Osho
Misery is symbolic of unawareness ; Bliss is symbolic of awareness.
- Osho
Love needs two things: it has to be rooted in freedom and it has to know the art of trust.
- Osho
Once you have tasted the juice of the present, you don’t care about dangers. Once you are in tune with life then nothing matter. Life all there is.
- Osho
Forget about getting, simply give; and I guarantee you, you will get much.
- Osho
They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then think as much as you want!
- Osho
To be choiceless is to be in meditation. To be choiceless is to enter the eternal.
- 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
The ego is just a useful fiction. Use it, but don't be deceived by it.
- Osho
Just a little detachment from the ego is needed.
- Osho
Trust is the bridge between you and existence. Trust is the purest form of love, and once trust is lost, love also becomes impossible.
- 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
Life is in understanding your innermost being. Because only then can you become a constantly overflowing source of beauty, love and joy.
- Osho
Insecurity is beautiful. And the day you know insecurity is beautiful, you have know the wisdom if insecurity.
- Osho
Whenever you act according to your own light, there is immense fulfilment, and deep rejoicing.
- Osho
Growth means you are not moving in a circle, that something new is happening every day, every moment.

The moment you become innocent, you have found a direct line to the divine. Your heartbeat synchronizes with the heartbeat of the universe.
- Osho
A child needs immense privacy, as much as possible, a maximum of privacy, so that he can develop his individuality.
- Osho
One has to live totally. Ones life torch has to burn from both ends – even though it is only for one single moment, but then that single moment is eternity.
- Osho
Love means the art of being with others. Meditation means the art of being with yourself. Both are two aspects of the same coin.
- Osho
Prayer is meaningless if it is not out of alertness. And a man of alertness need not have any prayer – alertness is enough unto itself.
- Osho
I want you to be independent and confident that you can attain these precious moments on your own.
- Osho
Whoever may have died right now, each death is your death, because each death is a reminder that you are not going to be here forever.
- Osho
Do meditation without thinking of any result, enjoy meditating as an end in itself. And then some day the light explodes, the ego disappears.
- 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
All your knowledge is dust. Knowing is your purity, knowledge is dust.
- Osho
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.
- Osho
Love is true only when it does not interfere in the privacy of the other person. It respects his individuality, his privacy.
- 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
The whole of life has to be your Temple; Work has to be your worship, Love has to be your prayer. This very body the Buddha, This very earth the Lotus Paradise.
- Osho
Any religion, any ideology, that is based only on belief, or faith, is bound to cripple your intelligence.
- Osho
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. Only false religion has rules, because false religion is a game.
- Osho
Friendship is the purest love. It is the highest form of Love where nothing is asked for, no condition, where one simply enjoys giving.
- 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
When you really laugh for those few moments you are in a deep meditative state. Thinking stops. It is impossible to laugh and think together.
- Osho
Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence
- Osho
Drop the idea that attachment and love are one thing. They are enemies. It is attachment that destroys all love.
- Osho
Don't ask, Don't knock, Don't demand. Just Relax. if you relax, it comes. if you relax, it is there. if you relax, you start vibrating with it.
- Osho
Start enjoying that which you are, and then this very ordinary life suddenly becomes extraordinary. Then these ordinary days have such tremendous poetry.
- Osho
A moment of truth is more valuable than a hundred years of life, because a moment of truth makes you part of eternity.
- 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
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
I'm not giving you another dream, remember. You hanker for it, you would like me to give you another dream, but I am not going to give you another dream. That's why to be with me is difficult and arduous - because I am insisting that you wake up. Enough is enough. You have dreamed a lot; since eternity you have been dreaming. You have just been changing dreams. When you get fed up with one dream, you start changing it; you dream another dream. My whole effort is to shake you, to shock you - to wake you.
- Osho
When I say that you are Gods and Goddesses I mean that your possibility is infinite, your potentiality is infinite.
- Osho
In relationship be blissful, in alone-ness be aware, and they will help each other, like two wings of a bird.
- Osho
Meditation is an understanding that desires don't lead anywhere.
- Osho
Meditation is only a methodology to make you aware that your only disease is your ego, and your only health is agelessness.
- Osho
Truth can only arise within you. Nobody else gives it to you and with truth comes beauty, followed by good.
- Osho
Don't choose. Accept life as it is in it's totality.
- Osho
Be Yourself - and only then can you be responsible and authentic and real. But ordinarily everyone is just secondhand and borrowed, and that makes everything ugly.
- Osho
Your trust in the total opens all your sensitivities to their extreme. This whole existence becomes a sheer dance, a sheer celebration.
- Osho
My people worship, but not in a church. They worship the beauty of existence.
- Osho
If you are a parent you will need this much courage-not to interfere. Open doors of unknown directions to the child so he can explore. Don’t make him afraid of the unknown, give him support.
- 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
If you are clear and clean in the mind, you will be able to find solutions for every problem that arises in your life.
- Osho
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.

Nobody is responsible except you. Nobody can make you angry, and nobody can make you happy.
- Osho
If your heart says to take the jump, then take the jump, then risk, then be adventurous.
- 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
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
To accept the challenge of the unknown in spite of all fears, is courage. The fears are there, but if you go on accepting the challenge again and again, slowly slowly those fears disappear.
- Osho
A real prayer arises out of gratitude, never out of fear and greed. A real prayer arises out of love for truth.
- Osho
Never sacrifice your life for anything! Sacrifice everything for life! Life is the ultimate goal.
- Osho
I would like marriage to disappear completely from the world, and with marriage, divorce will disappear.
- Osho
The moment you are interested in becoming somebody else you become complex. To be content with yourself as you are is simple.
- Osho
The real honesty is a responsibility to the present moment. It needs tremendous awareness. You have to be honest to the present moment, not to the past, not to the future.
- Osho
In Jainism forgiving carries great value, which I need to follow as it helps me to learn art of living, & I sincerely request you to forgive me if any of my.

Suffering cannot exist without your support. Just withdraw your support, and suffering disappears.
- Osho
I have a deep reverence for everything that is alive, a reverence for life itself.

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.
- 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
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.
- Osho
There is no other miracle in the world than meditation. It is the only science of transforming you into a new man.

The moment you accept youself you become beautiful.
- Osho
Reaction is always unconscious; and response is always conscious.
- Osho
Be ordinary, but bring a quality of awareness to your ordinary life. Bring God to your ordinary life introduce God into your ordinary life. Sleep, eat, love, pray, meditate, but don’t think that you are making or doing something special—and then you will be special.
- Osho
Love is the radiance, the fragrance of knowing oneself, of being oneself.
- Osho
The moment you see that whatsoever you are in your own creation, you are freed from all outer causes and circumstances.
- Osho
Nobody is here to fulfill your dream. Everybody is here to fulfill his own destiny, his own reality.
- Osho
You are simply a witness, no judgment, no evaluation, but a pure silent witnessing like a mirror.
- 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
I am the beginning of something new, but not the beginning of a new religion. I am the beginning of a new kind of religiousness
- 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
Relationship is the need of those who cannot be alone. Two alone persons relate, communicate, commune, and yet they remain alone.
- Osho
Love is not a higher quality than truth.
- Osho
The experience of the joy that the unknown brings, the great ecstasy that starts happening with the unknown,makes you strong enough, gives you a certain integrity, makes your intelligence sharp. For the first time you start feeling that life is not just a boredom but an adventure. Then slowly slowly fears disappear.
- Osho
Rare is the person who transforms his life into a growth, who transforms his life into a long journey of self-actualization, who becomes what he was meant to be. In the East we have called that man the buddha.
- 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
My effort is to continuously emphasize that meditation is nothing but watching the mind, understanding the mind, seeing all its subtle and cunning ways.
- Osho
Listen to your being. It is continuously giving you hints; it is a still, small voice. It does not shout at you, that is true. And if you are a little silent you will start feeling your way. Be the person you are. Never try to be another, and you will become mature. Maturity is accepting the responsibility of being oneself, whatsoever the cost. Risking all to be oneself, that’s what maturity is all about.
- Osho
All leadership is misleading, and to guide is to misguide. Buddha was not a guide and Buddha was not a leader.
- 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
Meditation is something natural, something that is already hidden inside you and is trying to find its way to reach to the open sky, to the sun, to the air.
- Osho
Every human being is a seed of Buddha. Blessed are those seeds which come to their flowering.
- Osho
Get out of your head and get into your heart. Think less, feel more.
- Osho
Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.
- Osho
Only a love free from attachment brings health and wholeness.
- Osho
Witness is the highest growth of consciousness. There is nothing beyond it. To remain a witness, awake or asleep, is the whole process of meditation.
- Osho
When something inside you grows, it brings new responsibilities, because now you need more meditation, you need more love, you need more joy.
- Osho
When sadness comes, just sit by the side and look at it and say, I am the watcher, I am not sadness.
- Osho
You have to drop all your defenses, only then is intimacy possible. We are all hiding a thousand and one things, not only from others but from ourselves.
- Osho
You can either be creative, or you are bound to be destructive. You cannot remain neutral; either you have to affirm life with all its joys, or you start condemning life.
- Osho
I want every one of my sannyasins to be utterly unique.
- 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
Meditation can bring the only revolution. There is all other revolution have failed.
- Osho
Be silent and you will understand not only about Zen, you will understand the very essence of existence itself.
- Osho
People are not things, you cannot have ownership.
- Osho
Practise love. Sitting alone in your room, be loving. Radiate love. Fill the whole room with your love energy.
- Osho
Wherever you are afraid, try to explore, and you will find death hiding somewhere behind. All fear is of death. Death is the only fear source.
- Osho
you cannot be anybody else than yourself. That is authentic religiousness Every individual has his own uniqueness and that gives him dignity and grace.
- Osho
Tomorrow-drop that word from your vocabulary! Tomorrow does not exist, it cannot exist: it is not in the nature of things. Only this day exists.
- 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
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
Love equalizes people. You give because you love, you give because you respect. You give and allow the man to feel, to be honored, that is true giving.
- Osho
Loneliness is sad, aloneness is blissful.
- Osho
Meditation cannot be a fragmented thing, it should be a continuous effort. Every moment one has to be alert, aware and meditative.
- Osho
It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love, or how you love, it matters only that you love.
- Osho
Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something.
- 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
Everything is beautiful if inside your heart there is awareness.
- Osho
My enlightenment has freed me from everything, including enlightenment.
- Osho
Help the world to become better. Don’t leave the world just the same as you have found it – make it a little better, make it a little more beautiful.
- Osho
you can drop your miseries only when some inner meaning starts flowering in you. Miseries can be dropped only when meditation starts blooming in you.
- Osho
The truth is showering on you in each breath, in each beat of your heart. Except truth, there is nothing else.
- Osho
We have to make laughter, rejoicing, dancing, singing, part of a healthy being – just overflowing well-being.
- Osho
There are only ways of being here: one is in bondage, another is in freedom. Watchfulness takes you out of the prison and opens the doors of infinity.
- 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
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
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. The only false religion has rules because false religion is a game.
- Osho
My teaching is very simple: meditation is the key, becoming totally aware is the result. Experiencing oneness with the whole is the reward.
- Osho
Happiness is available to everybody —whosoever opens his heart, happiness is always available.
- Osho
Knowledge is the barrier to knowing. When knowledge is dropped, knowing flowers.
- Osho
Authentic religion does not need any god, does not need any priest, and does not need any prayer. All that it need is an exploration of your inner world.
- Osho
Bravery does not mean being fearless. It means to be full of fear but still not being dominated by it.
- Osho
You are right now at the very source, and you have never left it for a single moment. Just recognize it, just open your eyes and see it!
- Osho
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.
- Osho
If whatsoever you have been living can be conveyed by words, that means you have not lived at all.
- 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
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
To live a life of truth, ever if it is for a single moment, is far more valuable than to live eternally in lies.
- Osho
Aloneness is a flower, a lotus blooming in your heart. Aloneness is positive, aloneness is health.
- Osho
Money, power, and prestige are uncreative; not only uncreative but destructive activities. Beware of them!!
- Osho
Mind is something unnatural; it never becomes your natural state. But meditation is a natural state — which we have lost.
- Osho
If you deceive someone, you lose one of life’s greatest treasures, the capacity to trust. Without trust, love is not possible.
- Osho
Whenever you feel a problem look within your heart. If you are at ease, you are on the right path. Your heart is the criterion.
- Osho
Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.
- Osho
I want to leave you alone, absolutely alone, so that you cannot take anybody's help, so you cannot cling to any prophet, so that you cannot think that Gautam Buddha is going to save you. Left alone ― utterly alone ― you are bound to find your innermost center.
- Osho
Truth is not found by knowledge, it is found by silence. And knowledge is noisy.
- 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
Absence of consciousness is ego. Whenever the ego is absent, Love is present.
- Osho
When you cheat somebody, you are losing something of your inner being… something which is tremendously valuable.
- 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
Reality has not to be invented, it has to be discovered. It is already there. Hence science discovers, and true religion also discovers.
- Osho
We have to change this world by celebrating, by dancing, by singing, by music, by meditation, by love, not by struggle.
- 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
Misery comes the moment you become clinging, attached. The moment you put conditions on life.
- Osho
Wherever you feel death, feel it. Don’t escape. Death is beautiful; death is the greatest mystery, more mysterious than life.
- Osho
Eyes which have lost their tears have lost their most beautiful, their most glorious treasure.
- Osho
When one wants to come to oneself no path is needed because one is already there. Just recognition – and the revolution happen! Just a remembrance!
- Osho
I teach a new man, a new humanity, a new concept of being in the world.[....] only with the death of the old can the new be born. The cessation of the old is the beginning of the new. My message to humanity is a new man.
- Osho
Consciousness plus thinking is Waking, Consciousness minus thinking is Samadhi, Unconsciousness plus thinking is Dreaming, Unconsciousness minus thinking is Sleep.
- Osho
We remain unnecessarily worried. All worries are futile because that which is going to happen is going to happen.
- Osho
Drop comparing--and jealousy disappears, meanness disappears, phoniness disappears. But you can drop it only if you start growing your inner treasures.
- Osho
Celebration is the very nature of existence.
- 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
I am not anti-life as other religions are. I am absolutely for life, and life in its essence means love.

Respect yourself, love yourself, because there has never been a person like you and there never will be again.
- 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
Don’t pay much attention to fear, because that is dangerous. If you pay much attention to fear you are feeding it, and it will grow.
- 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.

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
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
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
Once your awareness becomes a flame, it burns up the whole slavery that the mind has created.
- 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.

When you become an absolute pool of silence, an aura of grace arises around you and follows you like your shadow; that is the shadow of your soul.

- Osho
My whole life has been devoted to only one single program: how to bring love and meditation together - because only through that meeting a new humanity is possible. And only in the meeting of love and meditation, the duality of man and woman - the inequality of man and woman - disappears.
- Osho
The world is a good place because it gives you an opportunity to test your silence, your meditation your watchfulness. Be in the world but don’t be of it.
- 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
Meditation will give you a little glimpse, a little taste, that the truth is inside you.
- Osho
An intelligent person is not afraid, is not greedy. Greed and fear go together – then is why heaven and hell go together: hell is fear, heaven is greed.
- Osho
If you are really in love, you are no more the same as your were before. Something has love. You are no more the same as you were before. Something has disappeared; you are reborn. Love is a rebirth.
- Osho
Life is a purposeless play, a play of infinite forces-beautiful if you don’t have an achiever’s mind, ugly if you have ambition to become something.
- Osho
Nobody should in any way interfere in anybody else’s life.

Only silence communicates the truth as it is.
- Osho
Mind: A beautiful servant, a dangerous master.
- 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 really want peace on earth, create peace in your heart, in your being. That is the right place to begin with and then spread.

Watch, witness. Your body is not you; your mind is not you. You are just a pure witness.

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
I love this world because it is imperfect. It is imperfect, and that’s why it is growing; if it was perfect it would have been dead.
- Osho
My whole effort is to liberate you from all that binds you. Only when you are liberated from all bindings will you have a tremendous beauty, a splendor.
- Osho

- Osho
I don’t want followers, obedient people. I want intelligent friends, fellow travelers.
- Osho
To love means to drop the ego, to drop yourself. Love means not to be.
- Osho
Religion has nothing to do with churches and temples and rituals: religion is born only when somebody pulsates with love.
- 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.

The world is a garland of millions of flowers, but running through all those flowers is a thread that keeps it together: that thread is love.
- 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
Where silence and awareness meet, mingle and become one, there is receptivity. Receptivity is the most important religious quality.

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

It does not matter if you are a rose or a lotus or a marigold. What matters is that you are flowering.
- Osho
A single moment of love is equal to the whole eternity of love.
- Osho
One need not go anywhere to be blissful. One can sit silently, be alone, and be blissful. Nothing else is needed just the pulsation of life is enough.

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
Don’t analyze, celebrate it.
- Osho
A person who lives in the present – neither bothering about the past, nor bothering about the future – is fresh, young; he is neither a child nor an old man.
- 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
Life is freedom. It does not impose any meaning on you; it simply gives you an opportunity to create your own meaning. The meaning has to be created.
- 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
The world of being is the only real world, the world of truth. And unless you have come to it, you on wandering in of rein lands. You can never come home.
- Osho
The more empty you become, the more you will be able to receive my vibrations, my heartbeat, my song, the more you will be able to dance in tune with me—and that is the only right way to spread the message. Because the message is not of language; the message is of being, of experience.
- Osho
Love is ultimate, the highest health, because love makes one whole. When you love a master by and by you completely forgot about love.
- Osho
There is no other god than life. So allow yourself to be possessed by life in all its forms, colors, dimensions – the whole rainbow, all the notes of music.
- 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
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
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
Fame is foolish, it is pointless, meaningless. Even if the whole world knows you, how does it make you richer? How does it make your life more blissful? How does it help you to be more understanding, to be more aware? To be more alert, to be more alive?
- Osho
All ambition is politics, all struggle to be the first is politics. A non-struggling, non conflicting mind is religious.
- Osho
Perfect people don’t exist. And perfect people, if they existed, would be very boring. It is imperfection that keeps life interesting.
- 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
When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised.
- Osho
In the death of the ego love is born, divine is born, light is born, in the death of the ego you are transformed, all misery disappears.
- 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
That’s why I called even enlightenment the last game. The sooner you drop it, the better. Why not just simply be? Why unnecessarily hurry here and there? You are what existence wants you to be. Just relax.

- Osho
Be herenow… just this moment.
- Osho
Life is not given to you to murder, to destroy. Life has been given to you to create, and to rejoice, and to celebrate.
- Osho
The moment you believe in someone, you lose intelligence. Belief is almost like poison to your intelligence.
- 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
Once I was on a journey and someone asked me which word in a man’s vocabulary was the most valuable. My reply was, Love.

Humanity will never be religious unless all organized religions disappear and religion becomes an individual commitment towards existence.
- Osho
You will come closer and closer to perfection, but you will never be perfect. Perfection is not the way of existence. Growth is the way.
- Osho
A religious person is a desireless person.
- 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
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. Move into the vast, into the infinite, and by and by, learn to trust it. Leave yourself in the hands of life.
- Osho
The poison can become medicinal - you have to know how to transform it. And sometimes the nectar can be poisonous - if you dint know how to use it.

When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.
- Osho
If you can trust nature, by and by you become quiet, silent, happy, joyful, celebrating—because nature is celebrating. Nature is a celebration.
- Osho
The person who can be happy alone is really an individual. If your happiness depends on the other, you are a slave; you are not yet free, you are in bondage.
- 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
Once you let go nothing dies, only the ego. You remain forever and ever.
- Osho
To be frank with you - which usually I am not - I don't know who I am. Knowledge is not possible here where I am. Only the knower is left, the known has disappeared; only the container is left, the content is no more.
- Osho
You should live in the world but remain untouched by it. You should remain in the world, but the world should not remain in you.
- Osho

- Osho
Life is precious, and it is a gift from existence. We should not waste it.
- Osho

- Osho
The less the head, the more the wound will heal. No head there is no wound. Live a headless life. Move as a total being, and accept things.
- 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
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
Don’t go on with borrowed knowledge. Otherwise you will forget that you are ignorant, and you will remain ignorant.
- Osho
Love changes the whole climate of your inner being—and with that change the whole existence is changed.
- Osho
You can become happy just by deciding to be happy.
- Osho
My definition of meditation is that it is simply an effort to jump into the unconscious.
- Osho
You just listen to your own heart – that is your only teacher. In the real journey of life, your own intuition is your only teacher.
- 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
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.

Die each moment so that you are renewed each moment.
- Osho
Darkness is an absence of light. Ego is an absence of awareness.
- Osho
Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.
- 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
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
No-mind is not against mind: no-mind is beyond mind.

The one you are looking for is you.
- Osho
Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.

Don’t say this is good and that is bad. Drop all discrimination. Accept everything as it is.
- Osho
God is No Where, Life in Now Here.
- 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
Be less of a judge and you will be surprised that when you become a witness and you don’t judge yourself, you stop judging others too. And that makes you more human, more compassionate, more understanding.
- Osho
I am not a messiah and I am not a prophet. I am only a friend, and a friend cannot do what you are asking me to do. What commandments can I give you? No, none. I cannot tell you what to do and what not to do.
- Osho
Be Realistic: Plan for a Miracle.
- Osho
Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.
- 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
Dropping the mask and bringing out your original face is the whole alchemy of meditation.
- 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
Possessiveness destroys love. And they should not be possessed, because that again destroys your love.
- Osho
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
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
Your daily life is your temple, and your religion. Act in awareness, act consciously, and many things will start changing.

Respect life, revere life. There is nothing more holy than life, nothing more divine than life.

- Osho
What is discipline? Discipline means creating an order within you. As you are, you are a chaos.

I have called the New Man ZORBA THE BUDDHA. Zorba represents the materialist, objective approach. Buddha represents the subjective, spiritual approach. Divided, both are poor. Neither of them is a full circle. Joined, they become immensely rich. Joined together, they experience the greatest ecstasy that is available to humanity.
- 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
A meditator needs no personal guidance. A meditator, on the contrary, needs only one thing: the atmosphere of meditation. He needs other meditators; he needs to be surrounded by other meditators.
- Osho
You are being taught everything, but you are not being taught to be yourself. This is the ugliest form of society possible, because it makes everybody miserable.
- 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.
- Osho
There is no need to run towards the ocean. Just slowly enjoy the trees, and the birds, and the people, having a trust in your heart that every river has always reached the ocean. And you cannot be the exception. Existence does not allow any exceptions. You will also reach the ocean.

Meditation is perhaps the master key for all our problems.

Whatsoever you hide goes on growing, and whatsoever you expose, if it is wrong it disappears, evaporates in the sun, and if it is right it is nourished.
- 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
Your heaven and your happiness is always somewhere else; it is never where you are. Real happiness is always HERE, it is always NOW.

Love brings freedom. Loyalty brings slavery.

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
Old age is your own creation: it can be a misery, it can be a celebration; it can be simply a despair, and it can also be a dance. It all depends how deeply ready you are to accept existence, whatsoever it brings.
- Osho
Consciousness is never judgmental. Consciousness is only a mirror.
- 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
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
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
Your heaven and your happiness is always somewhere else; it is never where you are. Real happiness is always HERE, it is always NOW.

- Osho
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.
- Osho
Accept yourself as you are. And that is the most difficult thing in the world, because it goes against your training, education, your culture.
- Osho
Don't try to be a guru, don't try to be a helper. because you will disturb; you will create more problems.
- Osho
If you suffer it is because of you, if you feel blissful it is because of you. Nobody else is responsible – only you and you alone. You are your hell and your heaven too.
- Osho
When you are not rushing anywhere and your inner being is just still, herenow, God reflects. Then all chaos disappears, all questions disappear.
- 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
The greatest art is to attain a balance between all opposites,a balance betwn all polarities.Imbalance is the disease and balance is health.
- Osho
you needs inner light, a light which has its source in your very being, a light which cannot be extinguished even by death, a light which is eternal.
- Osho
A truth cannot be read in a scripture, a truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.

Consciousness without thinking: That’s what awareness is.
- Osho
Witnessing is a happening, a by-product--a by-product of being total in any moment, in any situation, in any experience. Totality is the key.
- Osho
If meditation really happens, whatsoever the cause, compassion has to follow.
- 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
Love need two things: it has to be rooted in freedom and it has to know the art of trust.
- Osho
A real emperor is one who lives in himself; he has a center of his own, he does not depend on anybody else.
- 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
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance.
- Osho
Man has to create himself. He is not ready- made, he is no given. And the creation has to be a self- creation – nobody else can make you.
- Osho
Meditation has happen first, then character comes as a shadow to it. And if meditation does not happen, then your character is just a hypocrisy.
- 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
Be ordinary. Nothing is wrong with ordinariness, because in your very ordinariness you are extraordinary.
- Osho
Love is true only when it is spontaneous, unplanned, unpracticed, uncultivated, un-thought.
- 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
The sannyasin knows what it means to be an emperor, because he simply gives; he enjoys giving, he loves sharing. And the miracle of life is: the more you give the more you have.
- Osho
Your honesty, Your love, Your compassion should come from your inner being, not from teachings and scriptures.
- Osho
Meditation comes automatically to a joyous person. Meditation is very simple to a person who can celebrate, who can delight in life.
- 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
Life is for those who know how to celebrate.
- Osho
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?
- Osho
It is better to be ignorant; at least the ignorance is yours. It is authentic, it is real, sincere and honest!
- Osho
To be a happy person, one has to drop all comparison. Drop all these stupid ideas of being superior and inferior. You are neither superior nor inferior. You are simply yourself! There exists no one like you, no one with whom you can be compared. Then, suddenly, you are at home.
- Osho
Out of love, everything is right. Love is the magic that transforms everything into right.

Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.
- 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
Your marriage is a subtle politics of domination. Your fatherhood, motherhood, is a subtle politics.
- 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
This is the authentic trinity of a truly religious man: truth, beauty, and good. These three experiences happen when u enters into your own subjectivity.
- 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
The people who ask what is the meaning of life are the people who have missed life, who are alive because they are still breathing; otherwise they are dead.
- Osho
I’ll never make any resolutions. Drop all resolutions! Let life be a natural spontaneity. The only golden rule is that there are no golden rules.
- Osho
Freedom is a ladder: one side of the ladder reaches hell, the other side touches heaven. It is the same ladder; the choice is yours.
- Osho
Life begins where fear ends.
- Osho
Love is the only miracle there is. Love is the ladder from hell to heaven. Love learned well, you have learned all. Love missed, you missed your whole life.

- Osho
Don’t be bothered by perfection. Replace the word ‘Perfection’ by ‘Totality'. Totality will give you a different dimension.
- Osho
Don’t be a slave. Follow society to the point you feel is needed, but always remain master of your own destiny.

Even if they can find a lover they demand perfection, and the love is destroyed because of that demand.
- Osho
Oneness is the key.
- 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
If you enter heaven because other forced you to act according to certain precepts, certain commandments, you will regret even in heaven.
- Osho
Just as water flows downwards towards the ocean, beauty, truth, love — all that is valuable in existence — flows towards a person who is nobody.
- Osho
Love can never possess. Love is giving freedom to the other. Love is an unconditional gift, it is not a bargain.

- Osho
Always remember that to be happy is to be religious; to be happy is to be virtuous; to be celebrating is to be prayerful.
- Osho
If you are absolute without mind, just pure consciousness, time stops completely, disappears, leaving no trace behind.
- Osho
This watchfulness, this witnessing is the ultimate secret of creating a religious life, of creating a life of transcendence, a life of spirituality, of enlightenment, of buddhahood.
- Osho
Everything borrowed is ugly. Beliefs are borrowed, hence they are ugly. And when you live according to borrowed beliefs you create chaos in the world.
- 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
We come alone into this world, we go alone.
- 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
Any religion, any ideology, that is based only on belief, or faith, is bound to cripple your intelligence.
- 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
Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated.
- Osho
The whole play of existence is so beautiful that laughter can be the only response to it. Only laughter can be the real prayer, gratitude.
- Osho
If you want life, then for life there is no fixed road. Life is here and now, multi-dimensional, spreading in every direction.
- Osho
A man is successful if he follows his own natural way and lives it as totally and intensely as possible.
- Osho
A woman is to be loved, not understood.
- Osho
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.
- Osho
he person who enjoys his life has no desire to possess, because he knows the real things of life which are worth enjoying cannot be purchased.
- 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 is a state of being; it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not in love, one is in love.
- 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
Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. . . . Easy is right means natural is right, effortlessness is right, egolessness is right.
- 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
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
Never be ashamed of your tears. Be proud that you are still natural. Be proud that you can express the inexpressible through your tears.
- Osho
Love brings freedom. And a love that does not bring freedom is not love.
- Osho
Awareness is the remedy for all ills, because awareness makes you healthy, whole, and of course holy.
- 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
Either you are drowned in the past or you are drowned in the future. That’s why you are not. That’s why you yourself have become a falsehood. You are too concerned with the false, and that concern makes you pseudo. Withdraw yourself from the past and the future.
- Osho
My whole love and respect is for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has courage.
- 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
Love is not manageable, it is simply something that happens, and the moment you try to manage it everything misfire.
- Osho
Love is just like a breeze: it comes, but you should not close your doors to keep the breeze inside.
- Osho
Life is absolutely balanced between the positive and the negative. Now it is your choice which side you want to be – in heaven or in hell.
- Osho
A borrowed truth is the greatest lie in the world. Truth can only be true when it is based on your own experience, utterly your own experience.
- Osho
Renunciation follows awareness like a shadow.
- Osho
Being playful is one of the great secrets of inner transformation. Learn to be playful. If all seriousness disappears from your life, you are religious.
- Osho
Courage is a love affair with the unknown.
- Osho
The being is not a static thing waiting to be discovered by you. The being has to be created moment to moment. That is the only way to discover it.
- Osho
Commit as many mistakes as possible, remembering only one thing: don’t commit the same mistake again. And you will be growing.
