Love in its purest form is a sharing of joy. It asks nothing in return, it expects nothing. Love is a spiritual phenomenon; lust is physical. Ego is psychological; love is spiritual.- Osho
-
Paradise is within you, in your state of no-mind. And hell is also within you, in your very mind.- Osho
-
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.- Osho
-
God happens only when you have moved out of the way and left yourself totally empty, spacious. It is a very strange phenomenon: The guest only comes inside the house when the host disappears.- 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
-
To accept the challenge of the unknown in spite of all fears, is courage. The fears are there, but if you go on accepting the challenge again and again, slowly slowly those fears disappear.- Osho

I have been teaching you nothing else except to be more alive, more loving, more singing, more dancing.- Osho
-
The ego is just a useful fiction. Use it, but don't be deceived by it.- 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
-
When you awaken in your deepest core of being, in the very center of your existence, then there is only silence, immense joy and celebration.- Osho
-
Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.- Osho
-
I would hate to be respected by the present humanity -it does not have that intelligence, nor has it that heart, nor has it that being.- Osho
-
This watchfulness, this witnessing is the ultimate secret of creating a religious life, of creating a life of transcendence, a life of spirituality, of enlightenment, of buddhahood.- Osho
-
Thinking is a very low activity; it is of the mind. Meditation is the highest within you; it is beyond mind.- Osho
-
Respect life, revere life. There is nothing more holy than life, nothing more divine than life.- Osho
-
There has never been a person like you before, there is nobody else like you right now in the whole world, and there will never be anybody like you.- Osho
-
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.- Osho
-
Take it easy, and remember Easy is Right.- Osho
-
We remain unnecessarily worried. All worries are futile because that which is going to happen is going to happen.- Osho
-
Listen to your own heart; that is the only scripture I prescribe. Yes listen very attentively, very consciously, and you will never be wrong.- 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
-
Witnessing is the greatest miracle in the world, because it takes you out of the circle of birth and death and gives you wings to fly into the eternal sky.- Osho
-
This is the authentic trinity of a truly religious man: truth, beauty, and good. These three experiences happen when u enters into your own subjectivity.- Osho
-
Die each moment so that you are renewed each moment.- 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
-
Don’t cling to anything. Clinging is the cause of our being unconscious.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
Being playful is one of the great secrets of inner transformation. Learn to be playful. If all seriousness disappears from your life, you are religious.- 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
-
That which makes you miserable is the only sin. That which takes you away from yourself is the only thing to be avoided.- Osho
-
Prayer is gratitude. Prayer is thankfulness.- 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
-
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
-
Perfect people don’t exist. And perfect people, if they existed, would be very boring. It is imperfection that keeps life interesting.- Osho
-
Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. . . . Easy is right means natural is right, effortlessness is right, egolessness is right.- 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
-
Your whole idea about yourself is borrowed–borrowed from those who have no idea of who they are themselves.- Osho

-
Once you know yourself, there is no death. Death was only in your ignorance.- 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
-
Withdraw your awareness from everywhere and just let it rest within yourself, and you have arrived home.- Osho
-
Every man, every woman is born with a bird in the heart. The heart has wings, but the heart can open its wings only in the sky if silence.- Osho

-
If you are clear and clean in the mind, you will be able to find solutions for every problem that arises in your life.- Osho
-
To me, every day is a holiday. If you love whatsoever you are doing, you are never tired of it; it is nourishing, it is energy-giving, it is vitalizing.- 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
-
If you can trust nature, by and by you become quiet, silent, happy, joyful, celebrating—because nature is celebrating. Nature is a celebration.- 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
-
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously; then there will not be any darkness.- 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
-
Happiness is not conditional; nothing is needed to be happy. Only to be alive is needed — and that you are, you already are.- Osho
-
The greatest good is to be conscious—because all other goods are born out of it. Being conscious is the source of all goodness, all virtue.- Osho

Commit as many mistakes as possible, remembering only one thing: don’t commit the same mistake again. And you will be growing.- Osho
-
When you say that hole existence as a tremendous dance as a celebration you are liberate by it. It is celebration that celebration, it is love that liberate.- 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
-
I don’t believe in nationalism, and I don’t believe in any religion. I believe in the individual and his happiness.- Osho

Don’t analyze, celebrate it.- Osho
-
Intellect and meditation meeting together, growing together, give you the wholeness of being.- Osho

Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.- Osho

My function here is to destroy all hypocrisy in you.- Osho
-
Everything is beautiful if inside your heart there is awareness.- Osho
-
Never ask for sympathy. Be happy and love will be flowing towards you. Love is the right coin; sympathy is the wrong coin. It looks like love, it is not love.- Osho
-
Truth is subjectivity, it is your innermost core. Only you, and only you, can penetrate it; nobody else can go with you. The path has to be travelled in tremendous aloneness. And a Master knows it — that he is pushing you in a journey where you will be left alone.- Osho
-
You have to relax, you have to stop judging.- Osho

Ego is the greatest bondage, the only hell that I know of.- Osho

My word for prayer is love. Forget the word prayer, replace it with love. Love is not for some invisible God. Love is for the visible -- human beings, animals, trees, oceans, mountains. Spread your wings of love as far and wide as you can.- Osho
-
Fame is foolish, it is pointless, meaningless. Even if the whole world knows you, how does it make you richer? How does it make your life more blissful? How does it help you to be more understanding, to be more aware? To be more alert, to be more alive?- Osho
-
The only courage is to live life totally; there is no other courage.- Osho
-
First be a disciple; don't try to be a master. Mastership will come.- Osho
-
Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.- Osho
-
I love this world because it is imperfect. It is imperfect, and that’s why it is growing; if it was perfect it would have been dead.- Osho

-
Freedom is the ultimate value in the human soul.- Osho
-

I am the beginning of something new, but not the beginning of a new religion. I am the beginning of a new kind of religiousness- 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
-
To me, this is the only strength, the only power – that we can transform life, we can transform consciousness.- Osho

Meditation can bring the only revolution. There is all other revolution have failed.- Osho

Every error is an opportunity to learn. Just do not commit the same mistake again and again-that is stupidity.- 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
-
Power over others is ugly. It is inhuman, because to have power over somebody means to reduce the person to a thing. He becomes your possession.- Osho
-
Consciousness is never judgmental. Consciousness is only a mirror.- Osho

When one is total, life flowers — and that flowering is spirituality. Spirituality is not an attitude, it is not a discipline. It is an outcome of a life lived totally, joyfully, delightfully; of a life of no complaint; of a life lived courageously, intensely. Then this flowering happens.- Osho
-
My teaching is very simple: meditation is the key, becoming totally aware is the result. Experiencing oneness with the whole is the reward.- Osho
-

-
Watch the waves in the ocean. The higher the wave goes, the deeper is the wake that follows it. One moment you are the wave, another moment you are the hollow wake that follows. Enjoy both--dont get addicted to one. Dont say: I would always like to be on the peak. It is not possible. Simply see the fact: it is not possible. It has never happened and it will never happen. 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

If you live with love, through love, you will live a great life, because love makes everything great.- Osho

The existence loves you, otherwise you would not be here. Relax into your being, you are cherished by the whole.- Osho
-
If you want to learn anything, learn trust – nothing else is needed. If you are miserable, nothing else will help – learn trust. If you don’t feel any meaning in life and you feel meaningless, nothing will help – learn trust. Trust gives meaning because trust makes you capable of allowing the whole descend upon you.- 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. Why limit yourself to small things? When the whole is available, only stupid people will cling to small things. Be oceanic.- 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
-
At the center we are one. At the periphery of existence we appear to be separate. And to know the truth of your being is to know the whole.- 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.

-
Life is a beautiful journey if it is a process of constant learning, exploration. Then it is excitement every moment.- Osho

In relationship be blissful, in alone-ness be aware, and they will help each other, like two wings of a bird.- Osho
-
The beauty of facing life unprepared is tremendous. Then life has a newness, a youth; then life has a flow and freshness. Then life has so many surprises. And when life has so many surprises boredom never settles in you.- Osho

On the other hand, zorba the Buddha is the beginning of a new man—a man totally free to be himself, allowing his nature to blossom. There is no conflict Zorba and Buddha. The conflict been created by the so-called religions.- Osho
