Wherever you are going horizontally, with whatever speed, you will end up in some graveyard. It is strange that every moment our graves are coming closer to us — even if you don’t move, your grave is moving towards you. The horizontal line of time is, in other words, the mortality of man. But if you can reach to the center of your being, the silences of your ...

Question Osho, You have said that if there are only two hundred enlightened people in the world a third world war is not possible. can you explain what you mean, how these two hundred people would make a difference among the billions of unconscious people?

Consciousness is life; sleep is a form of death. Consciousness is the light of awareness that fills the heart; sleep is the darkness that is ridden with misery, pain and remorse. If this is how you feel, know well that you are in darkness. But you must understand that you are asleep, you must understand this state before you can awaken from it. To appreciate ...

Osho on Water Astrology has been saying that the moment of birth is even more important than this. Up until now science has not agreed with astrology, but it is now beginning to do so.

A Noah’s Ark of Consciousness Question 3 Beloved Osho, Rocks easily destroy flowers. The politicians and religions sense that enlightenment, freedom and individuality threaten their power. It is fear alone that is the basis of the dark use of intelligence to crush man’s finest blossoms? Or is there an unconscious urge for ‘endarkenment’ too? Devageet, there i...

In Egypt, the great library of Alexandria was still intact. It had all the secrets of the past preserved. It was the greatest library that has ever existed on the earth; later on it was destroyed by a Mohammedan fanatic. The library was so big that when it was burnt, for six months the fire continued.

It is impossible… if you have uttered the truth, it is impossible for people not to come. They are hankering for it, they are thirsty for it, they are hungry for it; and they have remained hu...

Osho on Jesus Lived in India Jesus never died on the cross. It takes at least forty-eight hours for a person to die on the Jewish cross; and there have been known cases where people have existed almost six days on the cross without dying. Because Jesus was taken down from the cross after only six hours, there is no possibility of his dying on the cross. It wa...
