To me it is a mystery, not to be solved but to be lived, but you can hear it as misery.- Osho

Risking all to be oneself, that’s what maturity is all about.- Osho

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.

Love what you do. Be meditative while you are doing it - whatsoever it is.- Osho
