Zorba the Buddha, on the one hand, is the end of the old man—his religions, his politics, his nations, his racial discriminations, and all kinds of stupidities. 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.

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

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.

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.

I want you to be in the very center of existence, of your being. That is the only way to understand this tremendous mystery that surrounds you.
- 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
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
Just see how much respect God has paid to you. You are a masterpiece – unrepeatable, incomparable, utterly unique.

When sadness comes, just sit by the side and look at it and say, I am the watcher, I am not sadness.
- 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.

The terrorism is not in the bombs, in your hands; the terrorism is in your unconscious.

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
You are not filled with straw, you are filled with your own awareness. You are not filled with furniture, cars, houses, money, and other nonsense. You are just filled with your being, the sheer am-ness, the sheer existence.
- 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.

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.

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.

Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.

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. All these vested interests are going to destroy the most beautiful planet in the universe. You can do only one thing to save it, and that is to become a Buddha and spread your Buddhahood - share it.
- Osho
If you really want peace on earth, create peace in your heart, in your being. That is the right place to begin with and then spread.

Contentment is a quality of your centre; it is not found on the circumference. Fulfillment is when you have arrived at your real, authentic being.

The will to wholeness is inherent in everything, but only in man has it become conscious. Therefore man lives in tension, and only when this longing is fulfilled is his negative state of tension erased.

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
My whole teaching is this, accept yourself, love yourself, and celebrate yourself.
- Osho
The only revolution possible is through taking the whole responsibility on yourself: I am the cause of my suffering. Hence I can be the cause of my bliss.

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
Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.

- Osho
When Mind knows, We call it Knowledge, When Heart knows, We call it Love, and When Being knows, We call it Meditation.
- Osho
Nobody can say anything about you. Whatsoever people say is about themselves. But you become very shaky, because you are still clinging to a false center. That false center depends on others, so you are always looking to what people are saying about you.
- Osho
Only a blind man can easily define what light is. When you do not know, you are bold. Ignorance is always bold; knowledge hesitates. And the more you know, the more you feel that the ground underneath is dissolving. The more you know, the more you feel how ignorant you are.
- Osho
Reality has not to be invented, it has to be discovered. It is already there. Hence science discovers, and true religion also discovers.

Meditation is the only magic in the world and the only miracle.
- Osho
Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love.
- 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
Love is the radiance, the fragrance of knowing oneself, of being oneself.

- Osho
When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised.
- 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
Whenever you create something, you feel enhanced; you reach towards peaks; you get high. All people who are creative are close to religion.
- 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
Paradise is within you, in your state of no-mind. And hell is also within you, in your very mind. The choice is yours. You can move from the mind to no-mind; the bridge is witnessing.

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.

you cannot be anybody else than yourself. That is authentic religiousness Every individual has his own uniqueness and that gives him dignity and grace.
- 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
If love is not conscious it remains lust, and lust can never have anything of prayer in it. Lust is unconscious, love is conscious.
- Osho
No-mind is not against mind: no-mind is beyond mind.
- 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
We remain unnecessarily worried. All worries are futile because that which is going to happen is going to happen.

Meditation is an effort to get rid of personality and to reach to your living sources of life, your individuality, your flame.
- Osho
Sadness comes, joy comes, and everything passes by. What remains always is the witness. The witness is beyond all polarities.
- 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
Mind cannot think without duality. Duality is the way of thinking. In silence, all dualities disappear. Oneness is the experience of silence.
- Osho

- Osho
To be here and now, you have to be in meditation, beyond mind.
- Osho
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
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.
- 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.

God is No Where, Life in Now Here.

- Osho
If you cannot love yourself, you don’t know even the taste of love or what love means.
- 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
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
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
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 jealousy disappears and love still remains, then you have something solid in your life which is worth having.
- Osho
That is my whole teaching: just to be natural. Nature is Dharma, nature is Tao, and nature is Zen. And the moment you are natural, flowers will shower over you.
- 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.

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
Why limit yourself to small things! When the whole is available, only stupid people will cling to small things. Be oceanic!
- 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
The whole play of existence is so beautiful that laughter can be the only response to it. Only laughter can be the real prayer, gratitude.

Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.
- Osho
Truth is a search, not a faith. It is an inquiry, not a belief. It is a question, a quest.

- Osho
Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously. Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul and playfulness the greatest health.
- Osho
Enlightenment is nothing but your consciousness being concentrated on a single point — now and here.
- Osho
Only the individual can rise to the heights of consciousness and awareness. The more you belong to the crowd, the deeper you fall into darkness.
- 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
Whatsoever you are doing, all doing has to become peripheral and a constant search for truth and a constant thirst for truth have to become your very center.
- Osho
Lovers have known sometimes what saints have not known.
- Osho
Love means the art of being with others. Meditation means the art of being with yourself. Both are two aspects of the same coin.
- 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
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
Love, sing; dance not as a competitor, but as a man who wants to share his joy, his songs and his dances with his fellow human beings.
- Osho
Friendship is the purest love. It is the highest form of Love where nothing is asked for, no condition, where one simply enjoys giving.
- Osho
This I call true religion – playfulness, lovingness, cheerfulness.
- Osho
Desire disappears as you become more and more aware. When awareness is one hundred percent, there is no desire at all.
- 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 feel angry too often you should meditate more on anger, so that anger disappears and its energy becomes compassion.
- 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
So the second thing to remember is never to demand perfection. You have no right to demand anything from anybody. If somebody loves you, be thankful, but don’t demand anything—because the other has no obligation to love you.
- Osho
Don’t expect, and there will be no frustration. Frustration is just a shadow which follows expectation.
- Osho
you can drop your miseries only when some inner meaning starts flowering in you. Miseries can be dropped only when meditation starts blooming in you.
- 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
Love is life, love is god, love is sannyas.
- Osho
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.
- 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
One seed can make a whole earth green. One small sparkle of energy in you can fill the whole earth with dance, song, music.
- Osho
Whenever you plan for love, whenever deliberateness enters into it it becomes phony and false.
- Osho
My meditation is a method of being aware — of whatever you are doing, thinking, feeling.
- 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
The sannyasin knows what it means to be an emperor, because he simply gives; he enjoys giving, he loves sharing. And the miracle of life is: the more you give the more you have.
- 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
A man becomes a Buddha the moment he accepts all that life brings with gratitude. He is on the Way, he is on Tao; and he IS becoming meditative.
- Osho
Be herenow… just this moment.
- Osho
Knowledge is borrowed; knowing is yours, your own. It is authentic, knowledge is information, and knowing is transformation.
- Osho
Sannyas is only a declaration. The work is meditation. In one single word, my religion is complete, and that is meditation.
- 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
Celebration is the very nature of existence.
- 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
Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. . . . Easy is right means natural is right, effortlessness is right, egolessness is right.
- Osho
Only a mediator knows a love that is not biological, that comes as a spiritual abundance, with a great urge to share.
- Osho
Freedom is a ladder: one side of the ladder reaches hell, the other side touches heaven. It is the same ladder; the choice is yours.
- 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
Meditation can bring the only revolution. There is all other revolution have failed.
- Osho
There is no need to run towards the ocean. Just slowly enjoy the trees, and the birds, and the people, having a trust in your heart that every river has always reached the ocean. And you cannot be the exception. Existence does not allow any exceptions. You will also reach the ocean.
- Osho
Absence of consciousness is ego. Whenever the ego is absent, Love is present.
- Osho
The less the head, the more the wound will heal. No head there is no wound. Live a headless life. Move as a total being, and accept things.
- Osho
Meditation cannot be a fragmented thing, it should be a continuous effort. Every moment one has to be alert, aware and meditative.
- Osho
A real emperor is one who lives in himself; he has a center of his own, he does not depend on anybody else.
- Osho
Anybody who says that love is a hindrance on the path of self-realization is not a sage.
- 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
If you are a parent you will need this much courage-not to interfere. Open doors of unknown directions to the child so he can explore. Don’t make him afraid of the unknown, give him support.
- Osho
Love is true only when it is spontaneous, unplanned, unpracticed, uncultivated, un-thought.
- Osho
Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny – he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally – you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.
- Osho
When your ego is no more, only then will you know who you are.
- Osho
The greatest art is to attain a balance between all opposites,a balance betwn all polarities.Imbalance is the disease and balance is health.
- 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
Withdraw your awareness from everywhere and just let it rest within yourself, and you have arrived home.
- Osho
Dropping the mask and bringing out your original face is the whole alchemy of meditation.
- Osho
Any religion, any ideology, that is based only on belief, or faith, is bound to cripple your intelligence.
- Osho
Be aware – deep down you are really attached to your negative emotions. They are your ego.
- 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
Everything is beautiful if inside your heart there is awareness.
- 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
My work consists to bring you out of your cages — Hindu, Christian, Jew, communist, theist, atheist.
- Osho
Always remember that to be happy is to be religious; to be happy is to be virtuous; to be celebrating is to be prayerful.
- Osho
If you can laugh totally, it will give you a moment of no-time, no-min. The mind lives logically with expectations, laughter is something that comes from the beyond.
- Osho
The moment you believe in someone, you lose intelligence. Belief is almost like poison to your intelligence.
- Osho
The person who trusts can relax into existence. The person who cannot trust remains tense, remains anxious, afraid.
- 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
There is only one thing that can make you an emperor and that is your own being. Just find 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
I am teaching you to live simply. To live with an idea is a very complicated living, it is cunning. To live simply, just like trees and birds….
- Osho
Love is ultimate, the highest health, because love makes one whole. When you love a master by and by you completely forgot about love.
- Osho
Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.
- Osho
Life begins where fear ends.
- Osho
God is Nowhere, God is Now Here.
- Osho
It does not matter if you are a rose or a lotus or a marigold. What matters is that you are flowering.
- Osho
Belief is the opium which all the religions have been giving you in good doses. I am trying to destroy your addiction to the opium. My whole effort is to leave you alone.
- Osho
Consciousness is never judgmental. Consciousness is only a mirror.
- Osho
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
Your marriage is a subtle politics of domination. Your fatherhood, motherhood, is a subtle politics.
- Osho
If meditation really happens, whatsoever the cause, compassion has to follow.
- 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
If whatsoever you have been living can be conveyed by words, that means you have not lived at all.
- Osho
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
- 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
Once your awareness becomes a flame, it burns up the whole slavery that the mind has created.
- 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
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 live a life of truth, ever if it is for a single moment, is far more valuable than to live eternally in lies.
- 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
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
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.
- 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
My whole life has been devoted to only one single program: how to bring love and meditation together - because only through that meeting a new humanity is possible. And only in the meeting of love and meditation, the duality of man and woman - the inequality of man and woman - disappears.
- Osho
If you love yourself, you will be surprised: others will love you. Nobody loves a person who does not love himself.
- Osho
People are not things, you cannot have ownership.
- Osho
Each moment is an end unto itself. Enjoy It., die into it, disappear into it, and then something miraculous happens: great eternal life descends in you.
- Osho
I am not a psychoanalyst. I am not here to treat your minds and cure them. I am here to bring you out of your minds - healthy, unhealthy, neurotic, non-neurotic, it doesn't matter. I don't take any note of your mind, what kind of mind you have. Any kind of mind...you have to be taken out of it! So I don't go into the details, I simply start hammering!
- Osho
Something disappears when you become aware, and something appears. Death disappears, deathlessness appears. The ego disappears, egolessness appears.
- Osho
Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something.
- Osho
You are too much identified with the false, the personality.
- 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
The only thing that matters in life, is your own opinion about yourself.
- Osho
The first thing that should be a foundation for your whole life is the art of meditation; anything else should come later on.
- 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
Continuously clean your mind of beliefs, concepts, theories, ideas, ideologies, philosophies, doctrines, scriptures… Then the reality will be revealed to you.
- Osho
Remember it is not only you who are seeking truth – truth is also seeking you.
- Osho
Just a little detachment from the ego is needed.
- 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
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
My people worship, but not in a church. They worship the beauty of existence.
- Osho
Without possessions, success, fame; who are you?
- 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
Meditation is the only way to discover your deathlessness.
- Osho
Don’t be bothered by perfection. Replace the word ‘Perfection’ by ‘Totality'. Totality will give you a different dimension.
- 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
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
Anger transformed becomes compassion. Sex transformed becomes prayer. Greed transformed becomes sharing.
- 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 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
Your politicians, priests, parents, they all are guilt-creators, because that is the only way that you can be controlled and manipulated.
- Osho
A truth cannot be read in scripture. truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.
- Osho
It cannot be called freedom, a freedom which can choose only the right and not the wrong; then that is not freedom.
- 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 is always death that comes before your desires are fulfilled. Even if you live for a thousand years your desires are not going to be fulfilled.
- Osho
Aloneness is a flower, a lotus blooming in your heart. Aloneness is positive, aloneness is health.
- Osho
Find godliness and good will come on its own accord. And when good comes on its own accord, it has a beauty, a grace, a simplicity, a humbleness.
- 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
Never be ashamed of your tears. Be proud that you are still natural. Be proud that you can express the inexpressible through your tears.
- 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
One need not go anywhere to be blissful. One can sit silently, be alone, and be blissful. Nothing else is needed just the pulsation of life is enough.
- Osho
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.
- Osho
Find the light and it will show you the path. The path that is shown by your own light is the only path that is right.
- Osho
Religion is nothing but a science to attain wisdom, understanding, to know what life is, and to live it in utter celebration.
- Osho
Don´t be unnecessarily burdened by the past. Go on closing the chapters that you have read; there is no need to go back again and again.
- 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
Life is a musical instrument, and awareness is its greatest music.
- 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
Love is not manageable, it is simply something that happens, and the moment you try to manage it everything misfire.
- 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
Either you are drowned in the past or you are drowned in the future. That’s why you are not. That’s why you yourself have become a falsehood. You are too concerned with the false, and that concern makes you pseudo. Withdraw yourself from the past and the future.
- 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
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
The mirror mirrors things, but mirroring is not an activity. It is just the nature of the mirror, that whatever comes before it is reflected.
- Osho
On the path nothing more is needed than Patience
- Osho
A man who loves himself takes the first step towards real love.
- Osho
Don’t postpone anything beautiful for tomorrow. Live intensely, live totally, here and now.
- Osho
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.
- 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
Don’t try to understand life. Live it! Don’t try to understand love. Move into love. Then you will know and that knowing will come out of your experiencing.
- Osho
Be silent and you will understand not only about Zen, you will understand the very essence of existence itself.
- 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
Life is in understanding your innermost being. Because only then can you become a constantly overflowing source of beauty, love and joy.
- Osho
Meditation is only a methodology to make you aware that your only disease is your ego, and your only health is agelessness.
- Osho
Love changes the whole climate of your inner being—and with that change the whole existence is changed.
- Osho
Don’t move the way fear makes you move. Move the way love makes you move. Move the way joy makes you move.
- 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
Don’t cling to anything. Clinging is the cause of our being unconscious.
- Osho
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.
- Osho
A man who lives life in its totality is a rainbow; he lives the whole spectrum of it.
- 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
I am not doing any serious work. I am not doing work at all; it is my joy to share with you. Now, what you do with it is your problem, not mine.
- 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
Whatsoever you do with awareness is right. Right and wrong is not a distinction between objects; right and wrong is distinction between consciousnesses.
- Osho
The person who can be happy alone is really an individual. If your happiness depends on the other, you are a slave; you are not yet free, you are in bondage.
- Osho
The existence loves you, otherwise you would not be here. Relax into your being, you are cherished by the whole.
- Osho
When there is no desire there is no past, no future. When there is no desire you are utterly contented here now. And to be contented here now is joy.
- 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
Life is a beautiful journey if it is a process of constant learning, exploration. Then it is excitement every moment.
- 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
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.
- 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
The greatest fear in the world is the opinion of others, and the moment you are unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.
- Osho
Each individual has to create his own consciousness and conscience—only then will we be able to create a better world.
- Osho
Once you know yourself, there is no death. Death was only in your ignorance.
- Osho
Intelligence comes from meditation, intelligence comes from rebellion, intelligence does not come from memory.
- Osho
