Once I was on a journey and someone asked me which word in a man’s vocabulary was the most valuable. My reply was, Love.- Osho

-
Only a mediator knows what life is, because he has reached the very source of eternity.- Osho

I don’t want you to worship Buddha’s; I want you to become Buddha’s. That is the only right worship. If you love become it.- Osho

Awareness is the remedy for all ills, because awareness makes you healthy, whole, and of course holy.- Osho

Love can never possess. Love is giving freedom to the other. Love is an unconditional gift, it is not a bargain.- Osho
-
When one wants to come to oneself no path is needed because one is already there. Just recognition – and the revolution happen! Just a remembrance!- Osho
-
Get out of your head and get into your heart. Think less, feel more.- Osho
-
It is beautiful to be alone, it is also beautiful to be in love, to be with people. And they are complementary, not contradictory.- Osho
-
Respect yourself, love yourself, because there has never been a person like you and there never will be again.- Osho
-
If you love a person, you accept the total person. With all the defects. Because those defects are a part of the person. Never try to change a person you love, because the very effort to change says that you love half, and the other half of the person is not accepted. When you love, you simply love.- Osho
-
People are not things, you cannot have ownership.- Osho
-
My meditation is a method of being aware — of whatever you are doing, thinking, feeling.- Osho

My function here is to destroy all hypocrisy in you.- Osho

-
When two lovers meet not out of some bondage but out of freedom, there is benediction.- Osho

Sharing is the most precious religious experience. Sharing is good.- Osho

On the path nothing more is needed than Patience- Osho

Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.- Osho

The authentic religion teaches you to discover your immortality, to discover the god within you.- Osho
-
If jealousy disappears and love still remains, then you have something solid in your life which is worth having.- Osho
-
Meditation is not doing anything directly to your violence, not doing anything to your jealousy, to your hate. It is simply brining light into your house, and the darkness disappears.- Osho
-
Each individual has to create his own consciousness and conscience—only then will we be able to create a better world.- Osho
-
Man is always exploited through fear.- 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
-
Understanding is only that which has been experienced by the person himself.- Osho
-
The truth is showering on you in each breath, in each beat of your heart. Except truth, there is nothing else.- Osho
-
Use the opportunity of this to celebrate as much as possible. Don’t waste it in struggling and fighting.- Osho
-
Meditation is something natural, something that is already hidden inside you and is trying to find its way to reach to the open sky, to the sun, to the air.- Osho
-
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
-
Do not seek a guru, because gurus are crippling. Anyone who gives you ready-made formulas is not a friend but an enemy.- Osho
-
Everything is beautiful if inside your heart there is awareness.- Osho
-
The more empty you become, the more you will be able to receive my vibrations, my heartbeat, my song, the more you will be able to dance in tune with me—and that is the only right way to spread the message. Because the message is not of language; the message is of being, of experience.- Osho
-
Never belong to a crowd; never belong to a nation; never belong to a religion; never belong to a race. Belong to the whole existence.- Osho
-
There is no other God than life. Be more alive, and you will be more divine. Be totally alive, and there is no death for you.- Osho
-
Consciousness is never judgmental. Consciousness is only a mirror.- Osho
-
Love and freedom are two sides of the coin. It is one flower. And it can blossom only when both are allowed dignity and respect.- Osho

The terrorism is not in the bombs, in your hands; the terrorism is in your unconscious.- Osho
-
Life is a mystery, and there is nothing to explain everything is just open, it is in front of you. Encounter it! Meet it! Be courageous!- Osho
-
A comfortable, convenient life is not a real life – the more comfortable, the less alive. The most comfortable life is in the grave.- Osho
-
You become more divine as you become more creative. All the religions of the world have said God is the creator. I don’t know whether he is the creator or not, but one thing I know: the more creative you become, the more godly you become. When your creativity comes to a climax, when your whole life becomes creative, you live in God. So he must be the creator because people who have been creative have been closest to him. Love what you do. Be meditative while you are doing it - whatsoever it is.- Osho
-
Life is an infinite mystery, therefore those who are filled with knowledge are deprived of life.- Osho
-
Love makes you wise but never knew. Knowledge makes you cunning and clever but never loving.- Osho
-
Life begins where fear ends.- Osho
-
The people who ask what is the meaning of life are the people who have missed life, who are alive because they are still breathing; otherwise they are dead.- Osho
-
Witnessing is a happening, a by-product--a by-product of being total in any moment, in any situation, in any experience. Totality is the key.- Osho
-
God is Nowhere, God is Now Here.- Osho
-
Meditation can bring the only revolution. There is all other revolution have failed.- Osho
-
One has to live totally. Ones life torch has to burn from both ends – even though it is only for one single moment, but then that single moment is eternity.- Osho
-
The moment you believe in someone, you lose intelligence. Belief is almost like poison to your intelligence.- Osho
-
All conditionings are based on belief. And my whole effort is that experience should be the only criterion not belief.- 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
-
In relationship be blissful, in alone-ness be aware, and they will help each other, like two wings of a bird.- Osho
-
The mind a beautiful servant, a dangerous master.- Osho
-
Sadness is silent, it is yours. It is coming because you are alone. It is giving you a chance to go deeper into your aloneness. Rather than jumping from one shallow happiness to another shallow happiness and wasting your life, it is better to use sadness as a means for meditation. Witness it. It is a friend! It opens the door of your eternal aloneness.- Osho
-
My effort is to continuously emphasize that meditation is nothing but watching the mind, understanding the mind, seeing all its subtle and cunning ways.- Osho
-
Unless you recognize your original face, you will not be able to reach anywhere. You will not have any meaning to your Life.- 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
-
I am not going to give you a destination. I can only give you a direction - awake, throbbing with life, unknown, always surprising, unpredictable. I'm not going to give you a map. I can give you only a great passion to discover. Yes, a map is not needed; great passion, great desire to discover is needed. Then I leave you alone. Then you go on your own. Move into the vast, into the infinite, and by and by, learn to trust it. Leave yourself in the hands of life.- Osho
-
When you live at the optimum, then you know what life is. And then you know the celebration of it and the benediction of it.- Osho
-
Live the day and live the night too. Dont miss anything. Make your life such a complimentary whole that everything fits together and makes it a piece of art.- 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. And remember, it is far more powerful than any nuclear weapons because nuclear weapons can only bring death -- that is not power. But the word which has come from an enlightened consciousness can bring new life to you; it can give you rebirth, resurrection -- that is power.- Osho
-
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance. Buddha has defined compassion as love plus meditation.- Osho
-
Man has to create himself. He is not ready- made, he is no given. And the creation has to be a self- creation – nobody else can make you.- 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
-
If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.- Osho
-
Don’t go on with borrowed knowledge. Otherwise you will forget that you are ignorant, and you will remain ignorant.- 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
-
Every human being is a seed of Buddha. Blessed are those seeds which come to their flowering.- Osho
-
The mind should be trained to be a servant of the heart. Logic should serve love. And then life can become a festival of lights.- Osho
-
Possessiveness destroys love. And they should not be possessed, because that again destroys your love.- Osho
-
If you clean the floor with love, you have done an invisible painting. Live each moment in such delight that it gives you something inner.- Osho
-
I don’t have a goal, because existence has no goal. It simply is, flowering, blossoming, dancing – but don’t ask why. Just an overflow of energy, for no reason at all.- Osho
-
To go beyond judgements of good and bad is the way of watchfulness. And it is through watchfulness that transformations happen.- Osho
-
Is the celebrator celebrating! Already there is too much – the flowers have bloomed, the birds are singing, the sun is there in the sky – celebrate it!- Osho
-
Awareness means to be totally aware of what you are doing at the time of doing it. Experiment with that and you will see it, and you will experience such peace as you have never known before.- Osho
-
A borrowed truth is the greatest lie in the world. Truth can only be true when it is based on your own experience, utterly your own experience.- Osho

Be a lotus flower. Be in the water, and do not let the water touch you.- Osho
-
Love is the goal, life is the journey.- Osho
-
If love can not keep you together, nothing else can keep you together. And if love cannot keep you together, than anything that can keep you together is dangerous.- 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
-
Mind always creates duality.- Osho
-
Drop comparing--and jealousy disappears, meanness disappears, phoniness disappears. But you can drop it only if you start growing your inner treasures.- Osho
-
The moment you see that whatsoever you are in your own creation, you are freed from all outer causes and circumstances.- Osho
-
If you can fine our original man, you have found everything that this existence contains—the entire splendor, all the glory, all the ceremony, all the joy.- Osho
-
Meditation comes automatically to a joyous person. Meditation is very simple to a person who can celebrate, who can delight in life.- Osho
-
Respect life, and life will respect you. Love life and love will shower blessing on you.- Osho
-
Millions of people are suffering: they want to be loved but they don’t know how to love. And love cannot exist as a monologue; it is a dialogue, a very harmonious dialogue.- Osho
-
Once you let go nothing dies, only the ego. You remain forever and ever.- 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
-
Every error is an opportunity to learn. Just do not commit the same mistake again and again-that is stupidity.- Osho
-
Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love.- Osho
-
To be frank with you - which usually I am not - I don't know who I am. Knowledge is not possible here where I am. Only the knower is left, the known has disappeared; only the container is left, the content is no more.- Osho
-
I am deliberately inconsistent, contradictory, so that you cannot make any body of knowledge out of me. So if one day you start gathering something, another day I take it away. I don't allow you to gather anything. Sooner or later, you are bound to be awakened to the fact that something totally different is transpiring here. It is not that I am giving you some dogma to be believed in, some philosophy to be lived by, no, not at all. I am utterly destructive, I am taking everything away from you.- Osho
-
Witness is the highest growth of consciousness. There is nothing beyond it. To remain a witness, awake or asleep, is the whole process of meditation.- Osho
-
Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. . . . Easy is right means natural is right, effortlessness is right, egolessness is right.- Osho
-
Never ask, Who is my real friend? Ask, Am I a real friend to somebody? That is the right question. Always be concerned with yourself.- 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. 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.- Osho
-
Remember, all great values are killed the moment you cling to them. And no great value can be imitated.- Osho
-
We have to change this world by celebrating, by dancing, by singing, by music, by meditation, by love, not by struggle.- Osho
-
Mind is something unnatural; it never becomes your natural state. But meditation is a natural state — which we have lost.- Osho
-
Real love is not an escape from loneliness, real love is an overflowing aloneness. One is so happy in being alone that one would like to share.- Osho
-
When sadness comes, just sit by the side and look at it and say, I am the watcher, I am not sadness.- 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
-
You create yourself moment to moment. You are mot born as a fixed entity, but only as an infinite. You are born as a seed, not as a tree.- 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 you feel a problem look within your heart. If you are at ease, you are on the right path. Your heart is the criterion.- Osho
-
Love the person, but give the person total freedom. Love the person, but from the very beginning make it clear that you are not selling your freedom.- Osho
-
Whatever you feel, you become. It is your responsibility.- Osho
-
Only a love free from attachment brings health and wholeness.- Osho
-
We are bringing a new approach in religion. You do not go away from the world, but rather go deeper into it and change it. This is more courageous.- 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
-
Anger transformed becomes compassion. Sex transformed becomes prayer. Greed transformed becomes sharing.- Osho
-
Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something.- Osho
-
People love freedom – but nobody wants responsibility. And they come together, they are inseparable.- Osho
-
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. Only false religion has rules, because false religion is a game.- Osho
-
Accept yourself as you are. And that is the most difficult thing in the world, because it goes against your training, education, your culture.- Osho
-
A New Man who will not hate life, as in the past it has done; a new man who will love life; a new man who will not be negative in any way, but will be affirmative; a new man who will not desire life after death, but will live moment to moment in sheer joy—who will think of this life as a gift and not as a punishment; who will not be antagonistic to the body, who will respect the body as the temple of the soul; who will love, and who will not be afraid of love; who will move in all kinds of relationships and yet be able to remain himself.- Osho
-
My whole effort is to liberate you from all that binds you. Only when you are liberated from all bindings will you have a tremendous beauty, a splendor.- Osho
-
Meditation is only a methodology to make you aware that your only disease is your ego, and your only health is agelessness.- Osho
-
I am not a messiah and I am not a prophet. I am only a friend, and a friend cannot do what you are asking me to do. What commandments can I give you? No, none. I cannot tell you what to do and what not to do.- Osho
-
We come alone into this world, we go alone.- Osho
-
Just see how much respect God has paid to you. You are a masterpiece – unrepeatable, incomparable, utterly unique.- Osho
-
When mind knows, we call it knowledge.When heart knows, we call it love. And when being knows, we call it meditation.- Osho
-
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. A thirteen-years-old boy can have the mind and mental age of a ninety years old man. And that will be the day of rejoicing, when your mental age is ahead of your physical age. That is the beginning of a superman, the beginning of the new man, a new humanity.- 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
-
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
-
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.- Osho
-
Misery arises only when you try the impossible, because it can’t happen in the nature of things and you want it to happen.- Osho
-
The first: freedom. The second: uniqueness of individuality. The third: love. The fourth: meditation. The fifth: non-seriousness. The sixth: playfulness. The seventh: creativity. The eighth: sensitivity. The ninth: gratefulness. Tenth: a feeling of the mysterious. These ten non-commandments constitute my basic attitude towards reality, towards man's freedom from all kinds of spiritual slavery.- Osho
-
Trust is the bridge between you and existence. Trust is the purest form of love, and once trust is lost, love also becomes impossible.- Osho
-
That’s why I called even enlightenment the last game. The sooner you drop it, the better. Why not just simply be? Why unnecessarily hurry here and there? You are what existence wants you to be. Just relax.- Osho
-
It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love, or how you love, it matters only that you love.- Osho
-
As you come to the center of your being you have found your original face. Your original face is the Buddha.- Osho
-
First be a disciple; don't try to be a master. Mastership will come.- 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
-
Reality has not to be invented, it has to be discovered. It is already there. Hence science discovers, and true religion also discovers.- Osho
-
If you deceive someone, you lose one of life’s greatest treasures, the capacity to trust. Without trust, love is not possible.- Osho
-
Dance as if this is the last dance. Dance with abandon, holding nothing back. That will bring transformation to your being, and a possibility of transformation for other people too.- Osho
-
The world of being is the only real world, the world of truth. And unless you have come to it, you on wandering in of rein lands. You can never come home.- Osho
-
My whole love and respect is for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has courage. He has courage to face the whole pressure of the society which is bent upon splitting him into divisions – into good and bad, into saint and sinner. He is really a brave, courageous being who stands against the whole history of man, of morality, and declares to the skies his reality, whatever it is.- Osho
-
Consciousness without thinking: That’s what awareness is.- Osho
-
Start enjoying that which you are, and then this very ordinary life suddenly becomes extraordinary. Then these ordinary days have such tremendous poetry.- Osho
-
This world is just a game. Winners lose and losers win the game is still the same. This life is just a play. Those who say dont know and those who know dont say.- Osho
-
Meditation is the shortest way possible because you don’t go anywhere; you simply close your eyes and dive deep within your own being - where you already are.- Osho
-
I am trying in every possible way to drop all those things, which in the past have been barriers for the revolution to continue and grow. I don't want anybody to stand between the individual and existence. No prayer, no priest -- you alone are enough to face the sunrise. You don't need somebody to interpret for you what a beautiful sunrise it is.- 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
-
Oneness is the key.- Osho
-
Be Realistic: Plan for a Miracle.- Osho

When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.- Osho
-
When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.- Osho
-
Life is for those who know how to celebrate.- Osho
-
You can either be creative, or you are bound to be destructive. You cannot remain neutral; either you have to affirm life with all its joys, or you start condemning life.- Osho
-
Love never should be forced, love never should be an attempt. It should not be in the mind at all - If it happens, then it is beautiful.- Osho
-
Love is a bird and it loves to be free. It needs the whole sky to grow.- Osho
-
To live a life of truth, ever if it is for a single moment, is far more valuable than to live eternally in lies.- 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
-
Meditation will give you a little glimpse, a little taste, that the truth is inside you.- Osho
-
he person who enjoys his life has no desire to possess, because he knows the real things of life which are worth enjoying cannot be purchased.- 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
-
That is the simple secret of happiness. Whatever you are doing, don’t let past move your mind; don’t let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet. To live in the memories, to live in the imagination, is to live in the non-existential. And when you are living in the non-existential, you are missing that which is existential. Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.- Osho
-
Giving love is the real beautiful experience, because then you are an emperor. Getting love is a very small experience. It is the experience of beggar.- Osho
-
Nobody is responsible except you. Nobody can make you angry, and nobody can make you happy.- Osho
-
Western man is missing the flowering of life because he knows nothing about meditation, and Eastern man is missing because he knows nothing of love.- Osho
-
If you are absolute without mind, just pure consciousness, time stops completely, disappears, leaving no trace behind.- Osho
-
I want you to be absolutely certain that nothing is wrong with anybody; all wrongs have been fed into you.- 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
-
Only silence communicates the truth as it is.- Osho
-
Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.- Osho
-
A child needs immense privacy, as much as possible, a maximum of privacy, so that he can develop his individuality.- Osho
-
You are the temple and the master of the temple. You need not go anywhere. If you need go anywhere it is only inwards, into your own interiority.- Osho
-
I am here to seduce you into a love of life; to help you to become a little more poetic; to help you die to the mundane and to the ordinary so that the extraordinary explodes in your life.- Osho
-
Be fully, wholly aware of yourself. Because without being totally aware, you will never know the beauty and the splendor of this existence that surrounds you.- Osho

-
The only thing that matters in life, is your own opinion about yourself.- Osho
-
Be herenow… just this moment.- Osho
-
Your real being only flowers with unconditional love. Ambition is against love. Anything that is against love is against you and your real life.- Osho
-
Discover yourself, otherwise you have to depend on other people’s opinions who don’t know themselves.- 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
-
Love needs two things: it has to be rooted in freedom and it has to know the art of trust.- Osho
-
The society is ill; individuals are victims. Society needs therapy; individuals simply need love. The society is the patient and needs hospitalization.- Osho
-
Drop comparing and life is really beautiful. Drop comparing and you can enjoy life to the full.- Osho
-
Trust is the highest form of the same energy as doubt. Doubt is the lowest rung of the ladder, and trust is the highest rung of the same ladder. Use doubt, use it joyfully- Osho
-
If you cannot love yourself, you don’t know even the taste of love or what love means.- Osho
-
Meditation cannot be a fragmented thing, it should be a continuous effort. Every moment one has to be alert, aware and meditative.- Osho
-
I am crazy, but you are crazier! And that is the only bond between us - I am crazy, you are crazier.- Osho

It is a strange thing, that every child is born with a closed hand, and every body dies with an open hand.- 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.

Even the word meditation makes it look heavier. It is better to just call it a simple, innocent silence.- Osho
