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

Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something.- 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
-
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

-
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

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

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

-
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

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

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.

-
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

We have to change this world by celebrating, by dancing, by singing, by music, by meditation, by love, not by struggle.- 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
-
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.

It opens the door of your eternal aloneness.- 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
-
Never sacrifice your life for anything! Sacrifice everything for life! Life is the ultimate goal.- Osho
-
The moment you believe in someone, you lose intelligence. Belief is almost like poison to your intelligence.- 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

Your mind has been conditioned for centuries by people who have not understood your real needs.- 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
-
I am not here to make you a sheep. You have been a sheep for too long already. I am here to make a man out of you. It is going to be arduous, but you have to start becoming responsible for your own life. Once you start feeling responsible for your own life you start growing, because then there is no point in wasting time in postponing, in waiting. Nobody is coming to help you. All waiting is futile, all waiting is sheer wastage.- Osho
-
My whole teaching is this, accept yourself, love yourself, and celebrate yourself.- Osho
-
A comfortable, convenient life is not a real life – the more comfortable, the less alive. The most comfortable life is in the grave.- Osho

Only idiots are not controversial.- 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
-
When life is really harmonious lived kinds of dreams disappear. Your whole sleep becomes dreamless.- 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 exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. The only false religion has rules because false religion is a game.- 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
-
My function here is to destroy all hypocrisy in you.- Osho
-
The moment you see that whatsoever you are in your own creation, you are freed from all outer causes and circumstances.- Osho
-
I resolve never to make any resolutions because all resolutions are restrictions for the future. All resolutions are imprisonments.- Osho

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
-
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
-
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

-
Paradise is within you, in your state of no-mind. And hell is also within you, in your very mind.- 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

Lovers have known sometimes what saints have not known.- 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.

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

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.

-
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
-

Use all the news media, use everything that technology has provided, so that the word reaches to every nook and corner of the earth.

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

Bravery does not mean being fearless. It means to be full of fear but still not being dominated by it.- Osho

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
-
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.

Let the light dispel your inner darkness, your inner weakness. Let love make you a tremendous power, a spiritual force.- Osho
-
Loneliness is sad, aloneness is blissful.- 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.

-
Love can never possess. Love is giving freedom to the other. Love is an unconditional gift, it is not a bargain.- Osho
-
Renunciation follows awareness like a shadow.- Osho
-
Relationship is the need of those who cannot be alone. Two alone persons relate, communicate, commune, and yet they remain alone.- Osho
-
Falling in love you remain a child; rising in love you mature. By and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being. Not that you are in love – now you are love.- Osho
-
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

-
You can become happy just by deciding to be happy.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
One who thinks in terms of superiority will always remain inferior because these are two aspects of the same coin.- 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
-
Western man is missing the flowering of life because he knows nothing about meditation, and Eastern man is missing because he knows nothing of love.- Osho
-

Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.- Osho
-

If you love yourself, you will be surprised: others will love you. Nobody loves a person who does not love himself.- 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
-
Religion is nothing but a science to attain wisdom, understanding, to know what life is, and to live it in utter celebration.- Osho
-
Truth is not to be found outside. No teacher, no scripture can give it to you. It is inside you and if you wish to attain it, seek your own company. Be with yourself.- Osho
-
Enlightenment is nothing but your consciousness being concentrated on a single point — now and here.- 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
-
I don’t want you to worship Buddha’s; I want you to become Buddha’s. That is the only right worship. If you love become it.- 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
-
That is my whole teaching: just to be natural. Nature is Dharma, nature is Tao, and nature is Zen. And the moment you are natural, flowers will shower over you.- 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
-
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
-
Use the opportunity of this to celebrate as much as possible. Don’t waste it in struggling and fighting.- Osho
-
Meditation cannot be a fragmented thing, it should be a continuous effort. Every moment one has to be alert, aware and meditative.- Osho
-
Just look at life with more playful eyes. Don’t be serious. Seriousness becomes like a blindness. Don’t pretend to be a thinker, a philosopher. Just simply be a human being.- Osho
-
Your honesty, Your love, Your compassion should come from your inner being, not from teachings and scriptures.- 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
-
Man is always exploited through fear.- 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

-
It cannot be called freedom, a freedom which can choose only the right and not the wrong; then that is not freedom.- 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
-
To me, every day is a holiday. If you love whatsoever you are doing, you are never tired of it; it is nourishing, it is energy-giving, it is vitalizing.- 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
-
why wait for reasons to laugh? Life as it is should be reason enough to laugh. it is so absurd. it is so ridiculous. it is so beautiful, so wonderful! it is all sorts of things together. it is a great cosmic joke. Laughter is the real religion. Everthing else is just metaphysics.- Osho
-
Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.- 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.- Osho
-
Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously. Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul and playfulness the greatest health.- Osho
-
Do not imitate anyone, do not follow anyone, otherwise you will be just a pseudo existence - and that is worse than suicide.- 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
-
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.

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.

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

That is the beginning of a superman, the beginning of the new man, a new humanity.- Osho
