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

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
-
Never sacrifice your life for anything! Sacrifice everything for life! Life is the ultimate goal.- Osho

-
Never obey anyone’s command unless it is coming from within you also.- 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
-

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

Grace is a by-product of meditation. The more silent you become inside, the more graceful you become on the outside.- Osho
-
Individuality is the very flowering of existence — nothing is higher than it.- 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
-
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
-
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

The moment you accept youself you become beautiful.- Osho
-
A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.- Osho
-
Meditation is the only way to discover your deathlessness.- Osho
-
Life cannot be possessed. You cannot have it in your fist. If you want to have it, you have to keep your hands open.- Osho
-
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.- Osho
-
Only the individual can know what meditation is and only the individual can know the beauty, the ecstasy, and the dance of this immensely beautiful existence.- Osho
-
Any religion, any ideology, that is based only on belief, or faith, is bound to cripple your intelligence.- Osho
-
Sharing is one of the greatest spiritual qualities. The miracle is that the more you share your bliss the more you have it.- 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
-
You are too much identified with the false, the personality.- Osho

The mind should be trained to be a servant of the heart. Logic should serve love. And then life can become a festival of lights.- Osho
-
Intelligence is a natural phenomenon, every child is born intelligent.- Osho
-
The greatest freedom is to be free of one’s own mind.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.- 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
-
Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.- 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
-
Do not imitate anyone, do not follow anyone, otherwise you will be just a pseudo existence - and that is worse than suicide.- Osho
-
Every man, every woman is born with a bird in the heart. The heart has wings, but the heart can open its wings only in the sky if silence.- Osho
-
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.- Osho
-
Drop comparing and life is really beautiful. Drop comparing and you can enjoy life to the full.- Osho
-
There is no other miracle in the world than meditation. It is the only science of transforming you into a new man.- 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
-
Try to understand that existence consists of polar opposites. If you choose one side, your life will remain only half; and a half-life is a miserable life.- Osho
-
The only courage is to live life totally; there is no other courage.- Osho
-
Just see how much respect God has paid to you. You are a masterpiece – unrepeatable, incomparable, utterly unique.- 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
-
Celebration is the very nature of existence.- 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
-
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
-
Darkness is an absence of light. Ego is an absence of awareness.- 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
-
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
-
Life has to b a joy, a dance, a celebration. & when death comes, it has to b welcomed wid silence, wid serenity. This is a way to kill death itself.- Osho
-
Your trust in the total opens all your sensitivities to their extreme. This whole existence becomes a sheer dance, a sheer celebration.- Osho
-
Be ordinary. Nothing is wrong with ordinariness, because in your very ordinariness you are extraordinary.- Osho
-
Even if they can find a lover they demand perfection, and the love is destroyed because of that demand.- 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
-
One day you will disappear on a funeral pyre – just into nothingness, as smoke. Don’t get attached to anything.- Osho
-
The moment you believe in someone, you lose intelligence. Belief is almost like poison to your intelligence.- Osho
-
Love is just like a breeze: it comes, but you should not close your doors to keep the breeze inside.- Osho
-
Only the individual can rise to the heights of consciousness and awareness. The more you belong to the crowd, the deeper you fall into darkness.- Osho
-
Mind: A beautiful servant, a dangerous master.- Osho
-
Consciousness plus thinking is Waking, Consciousness minus thinking is Samadhi, Unconsciousness plus thinking is Dreaming, Unconsciousness minus thinking is Sleep.- Osho
-
Your honesty, Your love, Your compassion should come from your inner being, not from teachings and scriptures.- 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
-
Only lovers know the unity, thinkers cannot know unity. And in the unity of the whole one finds love and one finds wisdom.- Osho
-
Presence of mind means to be in the present, to be spontaneous, to be available to whatsoever is happening right now--to be available to here and now.- Osho
-
Intellect and meditation meeting together, growing together, give you the wholeness of being.- 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
-
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. The only false religion has rules because false religion is a game.- 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
-
Life is a musical instrument, and awareness is its greatest music.- 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
-
A truth cannot be read in a scripture, a truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.- Osho
-
My definition of meditation is that it is simply an effort to jump into the unconscious.- 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
-
Love needs two things: it has to be rooted in freedom and it has to know the art of trust.- Osho

Paradise is within you, in your state of no-mind. And hell is also within you, in your very mind.- Osho
-
Misery arises only when you try the impossible, because it can’t happen in the nature of things and you want it to happen.- Osho
-
If you live with love, through love, you will live a great life, because love makes everything great.- 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
-
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
-
Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.- Osho
-
If a person remains blissful in ordinary day-to-day life, doing small things but blissfully, then prayer is spread all over his life.- Osho
-
When you say that hole existence as a tremendous dance as a celebration you are liberate by it. It is celebration that celebration, it is love that liberate.- Osho
-
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
-
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
-
Love is life, love is god, love is sannyas.- 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
-
Love brings freedom. Loyalty brings slavery.- Osho
-
The whole search of religion is for that witness: how to find that which is real.- Osho

God is No Where, Life in Now Here.- Osho
-
Whenever you plan for love, whenever deliberateness enters into it it becomes phony and false.- Osho
-
Use the opportunity of this to celebrate as much as possible. Don’t waste it in struggling and fighting.- 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
-
To love means to drop the ego, to drop yourself. Love means not to BE.- 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
-
Money, power, and prestige are uncreative; not only uncreative but destructive activities. Beware of them!!- 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
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
Love can never possess. Love is giving freedom to the other. Love is an unconditional gift, it is not a bargain.- 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
-
Your whole idea about yourself is borrowed–borrowed from those who have no idea of who they are themselves.- 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
-
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
-
Commit as many mistakes as possible, remembering only one thing: don’t commit the same mistake again. And you will be growing.- 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
-
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
-
If you are not spiritually free, you are no free at all. Then all your freedoms are bogus, phony, pseudo.- Osho
-
Whenever you create something, you feel enhanced; you reach towards peaks; you get high. All people who are creative are close to religion.- Osho
-
Each individual has to create his own consciousness and conscience—only then will we be able to create a better world.- Osho
-
Renunciation follows awareness like a shadow.- 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
-
In my vision, the thing that man needs first and foremost is a meditative consciousness.- Osho
-
Your politicians, priests, parents, they all are guilt-creators, because that is the only way that you can be controlled and manipulated.- 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
-
My whole teaching is just be yourself, never interfere with anybody elses freedom. Freedom is my ultimate value.- 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
-
Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence- Osho
-
Instead of pleasing, learn the art of happiness.- 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
-
Don’t expect, and there will be no frustration. Frustration is just a shadow which follows expectation.- Osho
-
Don’t postpone anything beautiful for tomorrow. Live intensely, live totally, here and now.- Osho
-
When I say that you are Gods and Goddesses I mean that your possibility is infinite, your potentiality is infinite.- 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
-
Love is just like a breeze: it comes, but you should not close your doors to keep the breeze inside.- Osho
-
A New Man who will not hate life, as in the past it has done; a new man who will love life; a new man who will not be negative in any way, but will be affirmative; a new man who will not desire life after death, but will live moment to moment in sheer joy—who will think of this life as a gift and not as a punishment; who will not be antagonistic to the body, who will respect the body as the temple of the soul; who will love, and who will not be afraid of love; who will move in all kinds of relationships and yet be able to remain himself.- Osho
-
The knowledgeable person lives with a question mark ‘?’ and the man of awe and wonder lives with an exclamation mark.- Osho
-
Love makes you wise but never knew. Knowledge makes you cunning and clever but never loving.- Osho
-
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.- 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.- Osho
-
Nobody can teach you love. Love you have to find yourself, within your being, by raising your consciousness to higer levels.- Osho
-
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance.- Osho
-
A religious person is a desireless person.- Osho
-
A woman is one of the most beautiful phenomena in the world; not to be compared with anything else. The woman is the masterpiece of god.- Osho
-
Unless you know yourself as eternal beings, part of the whole, you will remain afraid of death.- Osho
-
I have been teaching you nothing else except to be more alive, more loving, more singing, more dancing.- Osho
-
When two lovers meet not out of some bondage but out of freedom, there is benediction.- 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
-
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
-
You can become happy just by deciding to be happy.- Osho
-
Love is not a higher quality than truth.- Osho
-
Meditation is perhaps the master key for all our problems.- Osho
-
Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something.- 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
-
When mind knows, we call it knowledge.When heart knows, we call it love. And when being knows, we call it meditation.- Osho
