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
-
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

-
My whole love and respect is for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has courage.

To possess anything is to be possessed by it. The more you possess, the more slavery you create around yourself.- 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
-
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.

-
There is no greater ecstasy than to know who you are.- Osho

-
If love is not conscious it remains lust, and lust can never have anything of prayer in it. Lust is unconscious, love is conscious.- 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.

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

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.

Two false persons go on meeting, and the two real persons remain worlds apart.- Osho

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

Move into the vast, into the infinite, and by and by, learn to trust it. Leave yourself in the hands of life.- Osho

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.

Right now you are a rock. If I go on hammering, cutting chunks out of you, slowly slowly the buddha will emerge. It takes time.- 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

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. If you love others, if your love is focused on others, you will live in darkness. Turn your light toward yourself first, become a light unto yourself first. Let the light dispel your inner darkness, your inner weakness. Let love make you a tremendous power, a spiritual force.- Osho

Reality has not to be invented, it has to be discovered. It is already there. Hence science discovers, and true religion also discovers.- Osho

Authentic religion does not need any god, does not need any priest, and does not need any prayer. All that it need is an exploration of your inner world.- Osho

Love is a sharing. But before you can share, you have to have it! Meditation should be the first thing. Meditation is the center, love is the circumference of it. Meditation is the flame, love is the radiation of it. Meditation is the flower, love is the fragrance of it.- Osho
-
Be true to yourself, and don't look at what others are saying. This is the only way to reach to the Divine, because it is the only way to be natural.- Osho

A man is successful if he follows his own natural way and lives it as totally and intensely as possible.- Osho

The still point… There is a point within you where nothing ever moves – no movement from or to, no stirring, no sound created by any instrument. Nobody is there, just stillness, but that stillness is the dance and that stillness is the music.- 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
-
A really mature person cannot be serious, there is nothing to be serious about. The whole of life is fun, it is a play, a play of consciousness. And that's what meditation reveals to you - that the whole of life is a beautiful play of energy. The same energy is in the trees, in the stars, in the rivers, in the mountains, in you, in animals. It is the same energy dancing in different forms. We in the East have called it 'leela'. Leela means god's play.- 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

Love is painful because it creates the way for bliss. Love is painful because it transforms, love is a mutation. Each transformation is going to be painful because the old has to be left for the new.- Osho

Life is not logic, life is not philosophy. Life is a dance, a song, a celebration! It is more like love and less like logic.- Osho
-
Once you let go nothing dies, only the ego. You remain forever and ever.- 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
-
Never sacrifice your life for anything! Sacrifice everything for life! Life is the ultimate goal.- 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
-
Meditation cannot be a fragmented thing, it should be a continuous effort. Every moment one has to be alert, aware and meditative.- Osho
-
My effort is to make this whole earth a buddhafield.- Osho

Remember it is a very fundamental law. You may not get something that you want, but you always get that which you need. Somehow the universe goes on fulfilling your needs; you may understand, you may not understand.- Osho

Love equalizes people. You give because you love, you give because you respect. You give and allow the man to feel, to be honored, that is true giving.- 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

Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something.- Osho
-
Love need two things: it has to be rooted in freedom and it has to know the art of trust.- Osho

To fight with the mind is to give it reality, to recognize its power. There is no need to fight. One has just to be a witness. Without any fight, just being a witness, mind disappears.- Osho
-
Eat, taste the food, and still remember that you are the watcher.- 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

If you live with alertness, you live rightly. If you live in imitation, you live wrongly. To me there is only one sin: And that is not to be yourself. And to me there is only one virtue: And that is to know yourself.- Osho
-
Once meditation settles and you and you fall into rhythm with existence, compassion is a consequence. Suddenly you feel you are in love with the whole.- Osho

Nobody can teach you love. Love you have to find yourself, within your being, by raising your consciousness to higer levels.- 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

A meditator needs no personal guidance. A meditator, on the contrary, needs only one thing: the atmosphere of meditation. He needs other meditators; he needs to be surrounded by other meditators.- Osho
-
My function is very different from the function of Gautam Buddha. His function is only a small part of my philosophy. I want individuals to become enlightened, but I want also the whole of humanity to rise with the enlightened people. 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
