• 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.

    Avoid Esoteric Garbage!

    There are many people here too who are very expert in so-called esoteric jargon. They always talk of so many planes, so many bodies, so many centers…and they talk so seriously that it seems they know what they are talking about. Avoid esoteric garbage! Avoid esoteric knowledge! It is not knowledge, it is just to befool people. If you are interested in such th...

    Esoterics is a mystic phenomenon. Esoteric nonsense is expressed in such things.

    Question Beloved Osho, What is the difference between esoterics and esoteric nonsense? Whatever I have been telling to you, is esoterics. I am trying to make you mystics, masters of your own, helping you to find the mystery of life without giving you any map, without giving you any guide-book. Because that spoils the whole game. It is like you see a beautiful...

    I have known so many esoteric groups - in this life and before

    Whatsoever I am saying is in many ways esoteric. That is why many times I become very confusing to you. Any exoteric teaching is never confusing, it is clearcut. It is just like two plus two equals four, it is always a simple thing. But the esoteric, the inner, the secret, is difficult to understand, because your understanding becomes disturbed with any new k...

    All esotericism is nonsense - It is an escape from reality into fantasy.

    Question 2 Osho, Is all esotericism nonsense? Yes! It is an escape from reality into fantasy. People are thinking about heaven and hell, and they don’t know who they are. And there are people who are describing detailed maps about heaven and hell. In the temples there are maps available, and these maps are very ancient. Man came to know maps of the earth only...

    Psychology of the Esoteric

    Psychology of the Esoteric Question : Osho, Please tell us something about the tensions and relaxation of the seven bodies. The original source of all tension is becoming. One is always trying to be something; no one is at ease with himself as he is. The being is not accepted, the being is denied, and something else is taken as an ideal to become. So the basi...

    on Esoteric Trips – Avoid esotericism

    Question : I love ordinary life. It is like daytime in which i feel more and more awake. But i often have the sense that there is a universe of mysteries that belongs in darkness and is unavailable to me. Esoteric teachings, symbols, ‘higher knowledge’, seem to point to these mysteries, but i can never get interested in the books. I would rather journey into ...
