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
-

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

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.

You can do only one thing to save it, and that is to become a Buddha and spread your Buddhahood - share it.- 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
-
Understanding is only that which has been experienced by the person himself.- Osho

The moment you see that whatsoever you are in your own creation, you are freed from all outer causes and circumstances.- Osho

Life is our philosophy. Existence is our philosophy. To be in tune with the world, to be in harmony with the cosmos, is our religion.- Osho
-

-
When life is really harmonious lived kinds of dreams disappear. Your whole sleep becomes dreamless.- Osho
-
Just look at life with more playful eyes. Don’t be serious. Seriousness becomes like a blindness. Don’t pretend to be a thinker, a philosopher. Just simply be a human being.- 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
-
You need either to create something or to discover something. Either bring your potential to actuality or go inwards to find yourself, but do something with your freedom.- Osho
-
Eat, taste the food, and still remember that you are the watcher.- 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
-

Take life as easily as possible. But people don't understand me. I say to them, Life is a mystery. It is not to be solved but to be lived. And somebody has asked me, Osho, when you said that, I heard, Life is a MISERY, not to be solved but to be lived. That is up to you. To me it is a mystery, not to be solved but to be lived, but you can hear it as misery.- Osho
-
Don’t cling to anything. Clinging is the cause of our being unconscious.- Osho

-
Real love makes you more of an individual. It does not efface your individuality, it gives you individuality. Real love is very respectful.- Osho

-
Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.- Osho
-
It is very rare to find a person who accepts himself – because the moment he accepts himself, he is reborn.- Osho

What is discipline? Discipline means creating an order within you. As you are, you are a chaos.- 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
-
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. The only false religion has rules because false religion is a game.- Osho

-
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.- Osho
-
Always off with the river of life. Never try to go against the current, and never try to go faster than the river. Just move in absolute relaxation.- Osho

-
Accept the wholeness of life; because to me the acceptance of the whole is the only holy experience in the world.- Osho

-
Thinking is a very low activity; it is of the mind. Meditation is the highest within you; it is beyond mind.- Osho

-
To go beyond judgements of good and bad is the way of watchfulness. And it is through watchfulness that transformations happen.- 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
-
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
-
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. You have just been changing dreams. When you get fed up with one dream, you start changing it; you dream another dream. My whole effort is to shake you, to shock you - to wake you.- Osho
-
Never obey anyone’s command unless it is coming from within you also.- Osho
-
When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.- 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
-
By ‘Love’ people mean a certain kind of monopoly understanding a simple fact: that the moment you possess a living being you have killed him.- Osho
-
Only silence communicates the truth as it is.- Osho
-
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.- Osho
-
If you want to become an infinite source of love, then go on sharing love as much as you can. Don’t be a miser; only misers lose energy.- Osho

A real prayer arises out of gratitude, never out of fear and greed. A real prayer arises out of love for truth.- Osho
-
Only a love free from attachment brings health and wholeness.- Osho

-
Never sacrifice your life for anything! Sacrifice everything for life! Life is the ultimate goal.- Osho
-
Sadness comes, joy comes, and everything passes by. What remains always is the witness. The witness is beyond all polarities.- Osho
-
Respect your life. Out of that respect you will start respecting life in others.- Osho
-
Falling in love you remain a child; rising in love you mature. By and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being. Not that you are in love—now you are love.- Osho

-
Love is not a higher quality than truth.- 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
-
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
-
Discover yourself, otherwise you have to depend on other people’s opinions who don’t know themselves.- 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
-
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
-
Listening is a rare art, one of the last arts. Listening means not only hearing with the ears but hearing from the heart, in utter silence.- Osho
-
I am not here to make you a sheep. You have been a sheep for too long already. I am here to make a man out of you. It is going to be arduous, but you have to start becoming responsible for your own life. Once you start feeling responsible for your own life you start growing, because then there is no point in wasting time in postponing, in waiting. Nobody is coming to help you. All waiting is futile, all waiting is sheer wastage.- Osho
-
The only alternative is to be more conscious, more alert, more alive, more loving — and create a new world with a new man, bring a new dawn to humanity.- Osho
-
Truth is a search, not a faith. It is an inquiry, not a belief. It is a question, a quest.- Osho
-
Only authentic human beings can create a society which will be joyous, ecstatic, and in the real sense, human.- Osho
-
A truth cannot be read in a scripture, a truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.- Osho
-
Growth means you are not moving in a circle, that something new is happening every day, every moment.- Osho
-
The lover is an emperor; the creator is an emperor – without invading the whole world. He has invaded the whole universe out of sheer loving creativity.- Osho
-
Whatsoever you do with awareness is right. Right and wrong is not a distinction between objects; right and wrong is distinction between consciousnesses.- Osho
-
When two lovers meet not out of some bondage but out of freedom, there is benediction.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
A man is successful if he follows his own natural way and lives it as totally and intensely as possible.- 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
-
There is no other god than life. So allow yourself to be possessed by life in all its forms, colors, dimensions – the whole rainbow, all the notes of music.- Osho
-
You are too much identified with the false, the personality.- Osho
-
Remember one thing: that you should not leave this earth unless you have made it a little more beautiful, a little lovelier, a little more loving.- Osho
-
Individuality is the very flowering of existence — nothing is higher than it.- Osho
-
When sadness comes, just sit by the side and look at it and say, I am the watcher, I am not sadness.- Osho
-
The real function of the Master is to give you encouragement. Just by his presence, his blissful life, peaceful life, creates a certain milieu in which you can move easily toward dropping your plannings, projects, and allowing existence to happen.- Osho
-
Meditation cannot be a fragmented thing, it should be a continuous effort. Every moment one has to be alert, aware and meditative.- 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
-
There is no need of any competition with anybody. You are yourself, and as you are, you are perfectly good. Accept yourself. This is the way existence wants you to be.- 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
-
Life is not a tragedy, it is a comedy. To be alive means to have a sense of humour.- Osho
-
Mind is something unnatural; it never becomes your natural state. But meditation is a natural state — which we have lost.- Osho
-
Love happens when you are ready to share with another human being. Prayer happens when you are ready to share with God.- Osho
-
The real religious man has to contribute to the world. He has to make it a little more beautiful than he found it when he came into the world.- Osho
-
God is a person; godliness is a quality. You cannot become God, but you can be godly.- Osho
-
You are being taught everything, but you are not being taught to be yourself. This is the ugliest form of society possible, because it makes everybody miserable.- Osho
-
Commit as many mistakes as possible, remembering only one thing: don’t commit the same mistake again. And you will be growing.- Osho
-
If you remain always far, love will die. If you remain always near, love will die. Love can survive only in a continuous flowing relationship.- 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
-
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
-
