It is going to be arduous, but you have to start becoming responsible for your own life.

All waiting is futile, all waiting is sheer wastage.

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.

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.

It opens the door of your eternal aloneness.

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.

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.

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.

The authentic religion teaches you to discover your immortality, to discover the god within you.
- 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.

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. Even if it means that he will be condemned by the whole world, it does not matter. What ultimately matters is that you have your own face.

Never sacrifice your life for anything! Sacrifice everything for life! Life is the ultimate goal.

- Osho
Love has to be discovered — it is already there. And how to discover it? The more you are, the less is the possibility to discover love; the less you are, the more is the possibility to discover it. When the river disappears into the ocean, it discovers the ocean — it becomes the ocean.

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.

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.

If you love yourself, you will be surprised: others will love you. Nobody loves a person who does not love himself.
- Osho
Be a lotus flower. Be in the water, and do not let the water touch you.
- Osho
Once you have tasted the juice of the present, you don’t care about dangers. Once you are in tune with life then nothing matter. Life all there is.
- Osho
It cannot be called freedom, a freedom which can choose only the right and not the wrong; then that is not freedom.
- Osho
Once your intelligence and your innocence are available to you, just like two wings, the whole sky is yours. There are no more boundaries for you.
- Osho
This has been said again and again, down through the ages. All the religious people have been saying this; 'We come alone into this world, we go alone.' All togetherness is illusory.
- Osho
I want to leave you alone, absolutely alone, so that you cannot take anybody's help, so you cannot cling to any prophet, so that you cannot think that Gautam Buddha is going to save you. Left alone ― utterly alone ― you are bound to find your innermost center.
- Osho
The world is a good place because it gives you an opportunity to test your silence, your meditation your watchfulness. Be in the world but don’t be of it.
- Osho
Once you let go nothing dies, only the ego. You remain forever and ever.
- Osho
Doing brings ego. Ego is the shadow of action. And there is only one thing that is not-doing, and that is awareness, watchfulness.
- Osho
Truth is a search, not a faith. It is an inquiry, not a belief. It is a question, a quest.
- Osho
Sadness comes, joy comes, and everything passes by. What remains always is the witness. The witness is beyond all polarities.
- 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
You can go on changing the outer for lives and you will never be satisfied. Unless the inner changes, the outer can never be perfect.
- 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.
- Osho
Life is freedom. It does not impose any meaning on you; it simply gives you an opportunity to create your own meaning. The meaning has to be created.
- 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
If you are not spiritually free, you are no free at all. Then all your freedoms are bogus, phony, pseudo.
- Osho
Life is not given to you to murder, to destroy. Life has been given to you to create, and to rejoice, and to celebrate.
- 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
To be a happy person, one has to drop all comparison. Drop all these stupid ideas of being superior and inferior. You are neither superior nor inferior. You are simply yourself! There exists no one like you, no one with whom you can be compared. Then, suddenly, you are at home.
- Osho
It is better to be ignorant; at least the ignorance is yours. It is authentic, it is real, sincere and honest!
- Osho
A man who lives life in its totality is a rainbow; he lives the whole spectrum of it.
- Osho
Truth can only arise within you. Nobody else gives it to you and with truth comes beauty, followed by good.
- Osho
Your daily life is your temple, and your religion. Act in awareness, act consciously, and many things will start changing.
- Osho
The whole search of religion is for that witness: how to find that which is real.
- Osho
Your marriage is a subtle politics of domination. Your fatherhood, motherhood, is a subtle politics.
- Osho
Continuously clean your mind of beliefs, concepts, theories, ideas, ideologies, philosophies, doctrines, scriptures… Then the reality will be revealed to you.
- 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
Relationship is the need of those who cannot be alone. Two alone persons relate, communicate, commune, and yet they remain alone.
- 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
Any religion, any ideology, that is based only on belief, or faith, is bound to cripple your intelligence.
- Osho
Eyes which have lost their tears have lost their most beautiful, their most glorious treasure.
- Osho
A truth cannot be read in a scripture, a truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.
- Osho
Love is the ultimate, the end. You love for love’s own sake. It is not a means to anything else, it is its own end.
- 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
Don’t be serious about seriousness. Laugh about it, be a little foolish. Don’t condemn foolishness; it has its own beauties.
- Osho
Whenever you create something, you feel enhanced; you reach towards peaks; you get high. All people who are creative are close to religion.
- Osho
Life is not a tragedy, it is a comedy. To be alive means to have a sense of humour.
- 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
Truth is not somewhere in the future. It is not goal but the source. You are coming from truth. Of you can find the source again you will know what truth in.
- Osho
Your trust in the total opens all your sensitivities to their extreme. This whole existence becomes a sheer dance, a sheer celebration.
- Osho
Find ecstasy within yourself. It is not out there. It is in your innermost flowering. The one you are looking for is you.
- Osho
Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.
- Osho
The only courage is to live life totally; there is no other courage.
- Osho
One day you will disappear on a funeral pyre – just into nothingness, as smoke. Don’t get attached to anything.
- Osho
Death is a quantum jump from one body, from one form into another form. But it is not an end to you.
- 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
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
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
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
When I say that you are Gods and Goddesses I mean that your possibility is infinite, your potentiality is infinite.
- 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
Anger transformed becomes compassion. Sex transformed becomes prayer. Greed transformed becomes sharing.
- Osho
Jealousy is almost like a shadow of love. If we can grow our love, it takes over the whole energy of jealousy and transforms it into love. It is an alchemical change.
- Osho
If you are really in love, you are no more the same as your were before. Something has love. You are no more the same as you were before. Something has disappeared; you are reborn. Love is a rebirth.
- Osho
Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. . . . Easy is right means natural is right, effortlessness is right, egolessness is right.
- Osho
I love life. That’s why I give teachings of celebration, celebrate everything. From body to soul, physical to spiritual, sex to superconsciousness, everything is divine for me.
- Osho
Be herenow… just this moment.
- 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
Possessiveness destroys love. And they should not be possessed, because that again destroys your love.
- 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
My function here is to destroy all hypocrisy in you.
- Osho
A real religious man is one who has no past, who has no autobiography, who is continuously new, each moment slipping with GOD. He does not bother – what has happened, has happened – finished! Put a full stop it, and never look back. Go on...he is always calling you ahead, and ahead. He is always persuading you to move into new territories of being: from lust to love, from love to prayer - and there are higher realms than prayer. And he is constantly on the move. If you follow him, the only way is to be constantly on the move. Be a river.
- 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
To discover your being is the beginning of life. Then each moment is a mew discovery, each moment brings a new joy; a new mystery opens its doors.
- Osho
When you are Yourself, There is Truth, there is Beauty, There is Grace, there is Ecstasy.
- Osho
To go beyond judgements of good and bad is the way of watchfulness. And it is through watchfulness that transformations happen.
- Osho
You are rich if you have tasted the nectar of your own consciousness. You are rich if you are capable of sharing your love unconditionally.
- 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
Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously. Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul and playfulness the greatest health.
- 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
When you are utterly present in this moment, when you don't have any past and don't have any future ... when this cuckoo calling, this train passing, this dog barking, is all ... when THIS is all and there is no that, when the word 'here' is your whole reality and there is no 'there', when now contains all time and there is no then ... then you are in the state of samasati.
- Osho
Love is not a higher quality than truth.
- 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
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
Experience life in all possible ways -- good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light, summer-winter. Experience all the dualities. Don't be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become.
- Osho
To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to 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
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
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
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
Love is a wine; you have to taste it, you have to drink it, you have to become drunk with it, only then do you know what it is.
- Osho
Celebration is my attitude, unconditional to what life brings.
- Osho
If a person can go into his sorrow deeply, he will find that all sorrow has evaporated. In that evaporation of sorrow is joy, is bliss.
- Osho
Respect yourself, love yourself, because there has never been a person like you and there never will be again.
- Osho
If you cannot love yourself, you don’t know even the taste of love or what love means.
- Osho
I want you to be absolutely certain that nothing is wrong with anybody; all wrongs have been fed into you.
- 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
The mind a beautiful servant, a dangerous master.
- Osho
There is a morality which is imposed from the outside which is never in tune with your heart. And there is a morality that comes from within you: it is always in tune with your heart and in tune with heart of the universe. That’s authentic morality.
- Osho
Your heaven and your happiness is always somewhere else; it is never where you are. Real happiness is always HERE, it is always NOW.
- 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
Love happens when you are ready to share with another human being. Prayer happens when you are ready to share with God.
- 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
Beware! You are creating suffering every moment. By being unaware you create suffering; by being aware you create bliss.
- Osho
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously; then there will not be any darkness.
- Osho
Avoid rationalizing your own errors and mistakes. Because if you rationalize, you protect them. Then they will be repeated.
- Osho
Forget about getting, simply give; and I guarantee you, you will get much.
- Osho
I say to you: light the lamp of independent thinking. Don’t become a slave to anyone by accepting his thoughts. Truth belongs to those who are their own master.
- 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
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
When you become an absolute pool of silence, an aura of grace arises around you and follows you like your shadow; that is the shadow of your soul.
- Osho
Meditation is perhaps the master key for all our problems.
- Osho
Truth is to be lived, not understood.
- 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
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
Be ordinary, but bring a quality of awareness to your ordinary life. Bring God to your ordinary life introduce God into your ordinary life. Sleep, eat, love, pray, meditate, but don’t think that you are making or doing something special—and then you will be special.
- Osho
Meditation is the only way to discover your deathlessness.
- 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
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
Renunciation follows awareness like a shadow.
- 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
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
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
I’ll never make any resolutions. Drop all resolutions! Let life be a natural spontaneity. The only golden rule is that there are no golden rules.
- Osho
Remember, all great values are killed the moment you cling to them. And no great value can be imitated.
- Osho
Truth certainly liberates, but the truth has to be your own. Only then it liberates.
- Osho
If you can really see a beautiful rose of a beautiful sunset with your totality there is no need of any other discipline to become a Buddha.
- Osho
Truth is not a theory. Truth is not a word. Truth is an experience – an experience of one’s own infinite depths. To become one with “that which is” is the truth.
- Osho
Darkness is an absence of light. Ego is an absence of awareness.
- Osho
Celebration is my religion, love is my message, and silence is my truth.
- Osho
Unless you know yourself as eternal beings, part of the whole, you will remain afraid of death.
- 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
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
Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.
- Osho
Life is a beautiful journey if it is a process of constant learning, exploration. Then it is excitement every moment.
- Osho
You just listen to your own heart – that is your only teacher. In the real journey of life, your own intuition is your only teacher.
- Osho
There are only ways of being here: one is in bondage, another is in freedom. Watchfulness takes you out of the prison and opens the doors of infinity.
- Osho
Lovers have known sometimes what saints have not known.
- Osho
Unless you find your spontaneity, unless you find your element, you cannot be happy. And if you cannot be happy, you cannot be meditative.
- 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
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
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
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance. Buddha has defined compassion as love plus meditation.
- Osho
Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.
- Osho
To be a sannyasin means you will be allowing freedom to the children, you will not impose anything on them, you will not impose your ideas; you will NOT like them to become imitators. Sannyas is just symbolic of a great freedom!
- 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
Intelligence comes from meditation, intelligence comes from rebellion, intelligence does not come from memory.
- Osho
The moment you believe in someone, you lose intelligence. Belief is almost like poison to your intelligence.
- Osho
First face your own problem an counter then first try to transform your being, only a transformed person can process of transformation in trigger others.
- Osho
Enlightenment is the understanding that this is all, that this is perfect, that this is it. Enlightenment is not an achievement, it is an understanding that there is nothing to achieve, nowhere to go.
- Osho
No-mind is not against mind: no-mind is beyond mind.
- Osho
To bring the beyond is creativity. To bring the beyond into the known is creativity. To help divine to be manifested in some form is creativity.
- Osho
The only refuge is the perfection of wisdom, the perfection of meditation.
- Osho
Practise love. Sitting alone in your room, be loving. Radiate love. Fill the whole room with your love energy.
- Osho
Love is true only when it is spontaneous, unplanned, unpracticed, uncultivated, un-thought.
- 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
Be Realistic: Plan for a Miracle.
- Osho
Money, power, and prestige are uncreative; not only uncreative but destructive activities. Beware of them!!
- Osho
Remember it is not only you who are seeking truth – truth is also seeking you.
- Osho
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.
- Osho
Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something.
- 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
My teaching is very simple: meditation is the key, becoming totally aware is the result. Experiencing oneness with the whole is the reward.
- Osho
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.
- Osho
Freedom is our most precious treasure. Don’t lose it for anything. . . .
- Osho
The real honesty is a responsibility to the present moment. It needs tremendous awareness. You have to be honest to the present moment, not to the past, not to the future.
- Osho
Drop comparing and life is really beautiful. Drop comparing and you can enjoy life to the full.
- Osho
That’s why children look so beautiful because they are yet full of hope, full of dreams, and they have not yet known frustration.
- Osho
