Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.- Osho

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

-
First be a disciple; don't try to be a master. Mastership will come.- 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

-
Life begins where fear ends.- Osho

Don't make me wholly responsible for your silence, because that will create a difficulty for you. Alone, what are you going to do? Then it becomes a kind of addiction, and I don't want you to be addicted to me. I don't want to be a drug to you.- Osho
-
I am crazy, but you are crazier! And that is the only bond between us - I am crazy, you are crazier.- Osho

-
Once you know meditation, you don’t have to follow anybody. You have your own eyes open, and you have your light just ahead of you showing the path.- Osho

The whole search of religion is for that witness: how to find that which is real.- Osho

-
The only thing that matters in life, is your own opinion about yourself.- Osho

-
God is without purpose. The sky exists without purpose. Flowers bloom without purpose and stars shine without purpose. What happens to poor man that he cannot live without purpose?- 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. It is not a question of actions being right or wrong, it is a question of consciousness - whether you are doing it consciously or unconsciously like a robot.- 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

-
If meditation really happens, whatsoever the cause, compassion has to follow.- 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
-
All ambition is politics, all struggle to be the first is politics. A non-struggling, non conflicting mind is religious.- Osho

-
Whenever you act according to your own light, there is immense fulfilment, and deep rejoicing.- Osho

Be herenow… just this moment.- Osho

Growth means you are not moving in a circle, that something new is happening every day, every moment.- Osho
-
You will come closer and closer to perfection, but you will never be perfect. Perfection is not the way of existence. Growth is the way.- Osho
-
It is not a question of money, power, and prestige; it is a question of what intrinsically you want to do. Do it, irrespective of the results, and your boredom will disappear.- 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. 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. 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
-
Presence of mind means to be in the present, to be spontaneous, to be available to whatsoever is happening right now--to be available to here and now.- Osho

My Message is very Simple. Live life as dangerously as possible. Live life totally, intensely, passionately, because except for life there is no other God.- Osho

-
A moment of truth is more valuable than a hundred years of life, because a moment of truth makes you part of eternity.- 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 be in tune, to be harmonious with the universe, is bliss is joy, is music, is poetry. You start blooming the moment you are in tune with the whole.- Osho

-
Please watch how you are clinging to your sorrow, your misery. Drop it, let go of it! And your life will have a great sweetness.- Osho
-
Dancing is not just a movement. When a movement becomes ecstatic then it is dance. When the movement is so total that there is no ego, then it is a dance.- Osho
-
Just as on a rosebush roses blossom, on the bush of awareness roses also blossom—roses of goodness roses of beauty, roses of grace.- Osho
-
The world is a garland of millions of flowers, but running through all those flowers is a thread that keeps it together: that thread is love.- Osho

-
Accept the fact that we are strangers; that we don´t know who you are, that you don´t know who I am. I myself don´t know who I am, so how can you know?- Osho

-
Life cannot be possessed. You cannot have it in your fist. If you want to have it, you have to keep your hands open.- Osho
-
Remember, meditation is not something that is done by the mind, it is the absence of the mind. When the mind stops, meditation happens. It is not something out of the mind, it is something beyond the mind.- Osho
-
Love is a state of being; it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not in love, one is in love.- Osho
-
Religion is the greatest creativity because it is an effort to give birth to yourself, to become a father and mother to yourself, to be born again.- Osho
-

-
Do not seek a guru, because gurus are crippling. Anyone who gives you ready-made formulas is not a friend but an enemy.- Osho

You are right now at the very source, and you have never left it for a single moment. Just recognize it, just open your eyes and see it!- Osho
-
Only by knowing oneself does one become capable of knowing the ultimate, because at the very core of your being the ultimate is present.- Osho

-
The whole of life has to be your Temple; Work has to be your worship, Love has to be your prayer. This very body the Buddha, This very earth the Lotus Paradise.- Osho

The being is not a static thing waiting to be discovered by you. The being has to be created moment to moment. That is the only way to discover it.- Osho
-
My effort is to make this whole earth a buddhafield.- Osho

Old age is your own creation: it can be a misery, it can be a celebration; it can be simply a despair, and it can also be a dance. It all depends how deeply ready you are to accept existence, whatsoever it brings.- Osho

When something inside you grows, it brings new responsibilities, because now you need more meditation, you need more love, you need more joy.- Osho

Whenever there is no conflict between you and the whole, not even a rumor of conflict, you are healthy. To be whole is to be healthy.- Osho

If you are aware, you cannot be angry, because anger can exist only in a state of unawareness; that is a prerequisite for anger to exist.- Osho
-
Don’t expect, and there will be no frustration. Frustration is just a shadow which follows expectation.- Osho

You are too much identified with the false, the personality.- Osho

Conditional love is nothing but an infatuation, sexuality. Unconditional is the only way love can be.- Osho
-
Truth is not found by knowledge, it is found by silence. And knowledge is noisy.- Osho

Only idiots are not controversial.- Osho
-
The only refuge is the perfection of wisdom, the perfection of meditation.- 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

Your marriage is a subtle politics of domination. Your fatherhood, motherhood, is a subtle politics.- Osho

Don't try to be a guru, don't try to be a helper. because you will disturb; you will create more problems.- Osho
-
These are the only two real emotions and love. If you don’t love, you will be in fear. If you are in fear, you cannot love. If you love, fear is impossible.- Osho
-
Life has no meaning. Rejoice! It has no meaning. Dance, sing, enjoy! It has no meaning. You need not be serious. It is a cosmic joke.- 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
-
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.- Osho

-
To move on the path of meditation is to move on the path of life ... life's joys, life's songs, life's laughter. And take everything easy. Easy is right.- Osho

A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.- Osho

Mind is something unnatural; it never becomes your natural state. But meditation is a natural state — which we have lost.- 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
-
We are not interested in going to paradise; We are interested in making the paradise come here.- Osho
-
Meditation has happen first, then character comes as a shadow to it. And if meditation does not happen, then your character is just a hypocrisy.- Osho

Reaction is always unconscious; and response is always conscious.- Osho

-
The knowledgeable person lives with a question mark ‘?’ and the man of awe and wonder lives with an exclamation mark.- Osho

-
When I say be creative I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.- Osho

-
Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously… Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul.- Osho
-
Grace is a by-product of meditation. The more silent you become inside, the more graceful you become on the outside.- Osho
-
When you love, love as if the person is a god, not less than that. Never love a woman as a woman and never love a man as a man.- Osho
-
Hell is our creation, and we create hell by trying to do the impossible. Heaven is our nature, it is our spontaneity. It is where we always are.- 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.

-
Love and respect yourself and never compromise for anything. And then you will be surprised how much growth starts happening of its own accord.. as if rocks have been removed and the river has started flowing.- Osho

So when I say, Spread the word, I mean whatever I have been telling you, go on spreading in as many ways as possible. Use all the news media, use everything that technology has provided, so that the word reaches to every nook and corner of the earth.

I want to emphasize the point that if a man can have ninety years of physical age and thirteen years of mental age, the vice versa is also possible, and should be made possible.

The ocean is not far away. But your ego is a frozen block - it needs melting. Love melts it, fear makes it more frozen, trust melts it.

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.

Understanding is only that which has been experienced by the person himself.- Osho
-
Eyes which have lost their tears have lost their most beautiful, their most glorious treasure.- Osho
