A really mature person cannot be serious, there is nothing to be serious about. The whole of life is fun, it is a play, a play of consciousness. And that's what meditation reveals to you - that the whole of life is a beautiful play of energy. The same energy is in the trees, in the stars, in the rivers, in the mountains, in you, in animals. It is the same energy dancing in different forms. We in the East have called it 'leela'. Leela means god's play.- Osho

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

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
-
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

The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.- Osho
-

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

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

I am not a teacher, and this is not a place where knowledge is important. I am just a presence to inspire in you that which is dormant, to allow you to recognize yourself.- 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.

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
-
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
-
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 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
-
Dance as if this is the last dance. Dance with abandon, holding nothing back. That will bring transformation to your being, and a possibility of transformation for other people too.- 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

-
Happiness is not a result. It is a way of life. Happiness is not the end result of desire. It is an attitude, not a desire.- Osho
-
Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.- 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 have a deep reverence for everything that is alive, a reverence for life itself.- Osho
-
Meditation comes automatically to a joyous person. Meditation is very simple to a person who can celebrate, who can delight in life.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
Meditation can bring the only revolution. There is all other revolution have failed.- 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
