I am a natural person. I have no charisma, and I don’t believe in charisma. I don’t believe in methods - even if I use them, I don’t believe in them. I am a natural person, very ordinary. I can be lost in a crowd and you will not be able to find me. I don’t lead you, I accompany you.- Osho

I am 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.

-
My function is very different from the function of Gautam Buddha. His function is only a small part of my philosophy.

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

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

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
-
I am not anti-life as other religions are. I am absolutely for life, and life in its essence means love.- Osho

-
Accept the wholeness of life; because to me the acceptance of the whole is the only holy experience in the world.- Osho
-
I am deliberately inconsistent, contradictory, so that you cannot make any body of knowledge out of me. So if one day you start gathering something, another day I take it away. I don't allow you to gather anything. Sooner or later, you are bound to be awakened to the fact that something totally different is transpiring here. It is not that I am giving you some dogma to be believed in, some philosophy to be lived by, no, not at all. I am utterly destructive, I am taking everything away from you.- Osho
-
Humanity will never be religious unless all organized religions disappear and religion becomes an individual commitment towards existence.- Osho

Truth is to be lived, not understood.- Osho

Be ordinary. Nothing is wrong with ordinariness, because in your very ordinariness you are extraordinary.- Osho

The moment you experience your own being, you have experienced the being of this whole universe because your heartbeat is part of the heartbeat of the universe.- Osho

-
Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
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

Happiness is an art that one has to learn. It has nothing to do with your doing or not doing.- Osho

Life is very precious and the greatest treasure is hidden in it – and that treasure is of becoming a witness.- 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
-
Be herenow… just this moment.- 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
-
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
-
These three things are to be taken note of: the lowest love is sex - it is physical - and the highest refinement of love is compassion. Sex is below love, compassion is above love; love is exactly in the middle- Osho
-
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
-
A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.- 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
-
Whatsoever you are doing, all doing has to become peripheral and a constant search for truth and a constant thirst for truth have to become your very center.- 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
-
Whenever you plan for love, whenever deliberateness enters into it it becomes phony and false.- 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
-
Possessiveness destroys love. And they should not be possessed, because that again destroys your love.- 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 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
-
Every man has the potential to become enlightened. If he does not become, he is responsible — nobody else is responsible for it.- 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
-
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
-
We are bringing a new approach in religion. You do not go away from the world, but rather go deeper into it and change it. This is more courageous.- 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
-
Dropping the mask and bringing out your original face is the whole alchemy of meditation.- Osho
-
Meditation will give you a little glimpse, a little taste, that the truth is inside you.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
Any religion, any ideology, that is based only on belief, or faith, is bound to cripple your intelligence.- Osho
-
The only thing that matters in life is your own opinion about yourself, nobody can destroy your dignity then, because it is not dependent on anybody’s opinion.- 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
-
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
-
A man becomes a Buddha the moment he accepts all that life brings with gratitude. He is on the Way, he is on Tao; and he IS becoming meditative.- Osho
-
Only by knowing oneself does one become capable of knowing the ultimate, because at the very core of your being the ultimate is present.- Osho
-
The truth is showering on you in each breath, in each beat of your heart. Except truth, there is nothing else.- 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
-
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
-
By ‘Love’ people mean a certain kind of monopoly understanding a simple fact: that the moment you possess a living being you have killed him.- Osho
-
Oneness is the key.- Osho

Prayer is gratitude. Prayer is thankfulness.- Osho
-

-
Nobody should in any way interfere in anybody else’s life.- Osho
-
Respect life, revere life. There is nothing more holy than life, nothing more divine than life.- Osho
-
To bring the beyond is creativity. To bring the beyond into the known is creativity. To help divine to be manifested in some form is creativity.- 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
-
When Mind knows, We call it Knowledge, When Heart knows, We call it Love, and When Being knows, We call it Meditation.- Osho

Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.- Osho

-
Drop envy and jealousy, otherwise there is no possibility — because love cannot exist where envy and jealousies exist.- Osho
-
There is no other miracle in the world than meditation. It is the only science of transforming you into a new man. Into a superman. The superman is needed very much, urgently, because only the superman can prevent this beautiful planet from being destroyed by pygmy politicians, by ugly religions. All these vested interests are going to destroy the most beautiful planet in the universe. You can do only one thing to save it, and that is to become a Buddha and spread your Buddhahood - share it.- Osho
-
They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then think as much as you want!- 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

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

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 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.

Its very nature is to reach to the ocean. It is not an effort, it is its intrinsic quality.- 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
-
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

Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.- Osho

-
Don’t cling to anything. Clinging is the cause of our being unconscious.- 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
-
I want to emphasize the point that if a man can have ninety years of physical age and thirteen years of mental age, the vice versa is also possible, and should be made possible. A thirteen-years-old boy can have the mind and mental age of a ninety years old man. And that will be the day of rejoicing, when your mental age is ahead of your physical age. That is the beginning of a superman, the beginning of the new man, a new humanity.- Osho

The deeper your love, The deeper is your life. Think of love and life as synonymous.- 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
-
Nobody else can destroy you except you; nobody else can save you except you. You are the Judas and you are the Jesus.- Osho

If you enter heaven because other forced you to act according to certain precepts, certain commandments, you will regret even in heaven.- Osho

Aloneness is a flower, a lotus blooming in your heart. Aloneness is positive, aloneness is health.- 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
-

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

-
Awareness is the remedy for all ills, because awareness makes you healthy, whole, and of course holy.- 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.- Osho

Whatsoever you do with awareness is right. Right and wrong is not a distinction between objects; right and wrong is distinction between consciousnesses.- Osho
-
Never obey anyone’s command unless it is coming from within you also.- Osho
-
Die each moment so that you are renewed each moment.- Osho
-
Something disappears when you become aware, and something appears. Death disappears, deathlessness appears. The ego disappears, egolessness appears.- 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

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
-
Only silence communicates the truth as it is.- Osho
-
If you want to become an infinite source of love, then go on sharing love as much as you can. Don’t be a miser; only misers lose energy.- Osho

The ultimate state of love is freedom, absolute freedom, and any relationship that destroys freedom is not worthwhile.- 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

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

Mind is the illusion that which is not but appears, and appears so much that you think that you are the mind.- Osho
-
We have to make laughter, rejoicing, dancing, singing, part of a healthy being – just overflowing well-being.- 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
-
Be silent and you will understand not only about Zen, you will understand the very essence of existence itself.- Osho
-
My perception of sannyas is to be just yourself. If I say any attribute, I am imposing that attribute on my sannyasins. My sannyas is absolute freedom. With freedom of course a great responsibility comes, but that is not my business.- Osho
-
A real prayer arises out of gratitude, never out of fear and greed. A real prayer arises out of love for truth.- Osho
