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.

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.

- 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.

I am not going to give you a destination. I can only give you a direction - awake, throbbing with life, unknown, always surprising, unpredictable. I'm not going to give you a map. I can give you only a great passion to discover. Yes, a map is not needed; great passion, great desire to discover is needed. Then I leave you alone. Then you go on your own. Move into the vast, into the infinite, and by and by, learn to trust it. Leave yourself in the hands of life.

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
I also teach you to love yourself first. It has nothing to do with ego. In fact, love is such a light that the darkness of the ego cannot exist in it at all. If you love others, if your love is focused on others, you will live in darkness. Turn your light toward yourself first, become a light unto yourself first. Let the light dispel your inner darkness, your inner weakness. Let love make you a tremendous power, a spiritual force.
- Osho
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.

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
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.

Life is in understanding your innermost being. Because only then can you become a constantly overflowing source of beauty, love and joy.
- Osho
Don’t cling to anything. Clinging is the cause of our being unconscious.
- 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.

A New Man who will not hate life, as in the past it has done; a new man who will love life; a new man who will not be negative in any way, but will be affirmative; a new man who will not desire life after death, but will live moment to moment in sheer joy—who will think of this life as a gift and not as a punishment; who will not be antagonistic to the body, who will respect the body as the temple of the soul; who will love, and who will not be afraid of love; who will move in all kinds of relationships and yet be able to remain himself.

Mind: A beautiful servant, a dangerous master.
- 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

- 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
Unless you recognize your original face, you will not be able to reach anywhere. You will not have any meaning to your Life.

Knowledge is borrowed; knowing is yours, your own. It is authentic, knowledge is information, and knowing is transformation.
- 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
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
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.

- 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.

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
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
Love is life, love is god, love is sannyas.
- Osho
Be Yourself - and only then can you be responsible and authentic and real. But ordinarily everyone is just secondhand and borrowed, and that makes everything ugly.
- 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

- Osho
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously; then there will not be any darkness.

To love means to drop the ego, to drop yourself. Love means not to BE.
- 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.

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.
- 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
Only by knowing oneself does one become capable of knowing the ultimate, because at the very core of your being the ultimate is present.
- Osho
Once you know yourself, there is no death. Death was only in your ignorance.
- Osho
Up to now, nobody has said that there is anything beyond enlightenment. That's why I say, I am a milestone. With me, a new chapter in the history of consciousness begins. Enlightenment will be now the beginning, not the end. Beginning of a non-ending process in all dimensions of richness.
- Osho
No-mind is not against mind: no-mind is beyond mind.
- 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
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 ultimate state of love is freedom, absolute freedom, and any relationship that destroys freedom is not worthwhile.
- 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
When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised.

I want every one of my sannyasins to be utterly unique.

- 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. 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
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 ocean is not far away. But your ego is a frozen block - it needs melting. Love melts it, fear makes it more frozen, trust melts it. All that the people who are trying to find themselves have to do, is remain melted and allow the river to move on its own. You should not be the guide. The river needs no guide. Its very nature is to reach to the ocean. It is not an effort, it is its intrinsic quality.

I want you to be absolutely certain that nothing is wrong with anybody; all wrongs have been fed into you.
- 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
Nobody is here to fulfill your dream. Everybody is here to fulfill his own destiny, his own reality.
- Osho
There is no other greater ecstasy, no other greater blissfulness, than to know who you are. To know the inner space is to know all.

Your real being only flowers with unconditional love. Ambition is against love. Anything that is against love is against you and your real life.

Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.
- Osho
Consciousness plus thinking is Waking, Consciousness minus thinking is Samadhi, Unconsciousness plus thinking is Dreaming, Unconsciousness minus thinking is Sleep.
- Osho
I have been teaching you nothing else except to be more alive, more loving, more singing, more dancing.
- 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
It is better to be ignorant; at least the ignorance is yours. It is authentic, it is real, sincere and honest!

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.

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
When you are Yourself, There is Truth, there is Beauty, There is Grace, there is Ecstasy.
- Osho
Love is not manageable, it is simply something that happens, and the moment you try to manage it everything misfire.

- Osho
Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated.
- Osho
Accept yourself as you are. And that is the most difficult thing in the world, because it goes against your training, your education, your culture. From the very beginning you have been told how you should be. Nobody has ever told you that you are good as you are.
- Osho
Friendliness is one of the most significant qualities for the seeker to develop; it is really sweet. It makes your whole life full of sweet music.

My meditation is a method of being aware — of whatever you are doing, thinking, feeling.
- Osho
Meditation is perhaps the master key for all our problems.
- Osho
To possess anything is to be possessed by it. The more you possess, the more slavery you create around yourself.
- Osho
An intelligent person is not afraid, is not greedy. Greed and fear go together – then is why heaven and hell go together: hell is fear, heaven is greed.
- Osho
Try to understand that existence consists of polar opposites. If you choose one side, your life will remain only half; and a half-life is a miserable life.

The only courage is to live life totally; there is no other courage.

- 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
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
Let your life be integrated at the centre of the celebration. Only choose that which is Celebrating, Joyous.
- Osho
Man is always exploited through fear.

- Osho
Every man has the potential to become enlightened. If he does not become, he is responsible — nobody else is responsible for it.
- Osho
If you suffer it is because of you, if you feel blissful it is because of you. Nobody else is responsible – only you and you alone. You are your hell and your heaven too.
- 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
Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.
- Osho
It(existence) has given me so much, there is no way to pay anything back; there is no word even to express gratitude. The only way is that my every breath should be used in helping people to reach to the same Everest of consciousness.
- Osho
Growth means you are not moving in a circle, that something new is happening every day, every moment.
- Osho
To move on the path of meditation is to move on the path of life ... life's joys, life's songs, life's laughter. And take everything easy. Easy is right.
- Osho
I don’t want followers, obedient people. I want intelligent friends, fellow travelers.
- Osho
Thinking is a very low activity; it is of the mind. Meditation is the highest within you; it is beyond mind.
- Osho
Intellect and meditation meeting together, growing together, give you the wholeness of being.
- Osho
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.
- 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
To love means to drop the ego, to drop yourself. Love means not to be.
- Osho
Intelligence is a natural phenomenon, every child is born intelligent.
- Osho
Aloneness is a flower, a lotus blooming in your heart. Aloneness is positive, aloneness is health.
- Osho
Be less of a judge and you will be surprised that when you become a witness and you don’t judge yourself, you stop judging others too. And that makes you more human, more compassionate, more understanding.
- 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
When I say that you are Gods and Goddesses I mean that your possibility is infinite, your potentiality is infinite.
- 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
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
Each individual has to create his own consciousness and conscience—only then will we be able to create a better world.
- Osho
The moment you accept youself you become beautiful.
- 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
Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously… Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul.
- 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
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
Whenever there is no conflict between you and the whole, not even a rumor of conflict, you are healthy. To be whole is to be healthy.
- 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
The freedom from something is not true freedom. The freedom to do anything you want to do is also not the freedom I am talking about. My vision of freedom is to be yourself.
- 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
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
The knowledgeable person lives with a question mark ‘?’ and the man of awe and wonder lives with an exclamation mark.
- Osho
The society is ill; individuals are victims. Society needs therapy; individuals simply need love. The society is the patient and needs hospitalization.
- 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
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
Meditation is something natural, something that is already hidden inside you and is trying to find its way to reach to the open sky, to the sun, to the air.
- Osho
Don't choose. Accept life as it is in it's totality.
- Osho
God is No Where, Life in Now Here.
- Osho
The person who trusts can relax into existence. The person who cannot trust remains tense, remains anxious, afraid.
- Osho
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. The only false religion has rules because false religion is a game.
- 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
The moment you become innocent, you have found a direct line to the divine. Your heartbeat synchronizes with the heartbeat of the universe.
- 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
Religion is nothing but a science to attain wisdom, understanding, to know what life is, and to live it in utter celebration.
- Osho
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.
- Osho
A woman is one of the most beautiful phenomena in the world; not to be compared with anything else. The woman is the masterpiece of god.
- Osho
If you cannot love yourself, you don’t know even the taste of love or what love means.
- 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
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
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
Remember it is not only you who are seeking truth – truth is also seeking you.
- Osho
Don’t be angry at life. It is not life that is frustrating you, it is you who are not listening to life.
- Osho
Love cannot be taught, it can only be caught.
- Osho
No one can achieve one's individuality by following another, the other is always the other.
- Osho
No thought, no mind, no choice — just being silent, rooted in yourself.
- Osho
The terrorism is not in the bombs, in your hands; the terrorism is in your unconscious.
- 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
Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.
- Osho
The truth is showering on you in each breath, in each beat of your heart. Except truth, there is nothing else.
- 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
Bliss needs to be shared; it exists only in sharing.
- 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
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
Life is not a means to some end somewhere in the future. Life is its own end, it’s own means. Life is all.
- 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
I have a deep reverence for everything that is alive, a reverence for life itself.
- 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.

Truth is not to be found outside. No teacher, no scripture can give it to you. It is inside you and if you wish to attain it, seek your own company. Be with yourself.
- Osho
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
The greatest art is to attain a balance between all opposites,a balance betwn all polarities.Imbalance is the disease and balance is health.

Be a lotus flower. Be in the water, and do not let the water touch you.
- 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.

All that is great is going to happen to you-- not by your effort, but by your relaxed openness, availability. Just keep your doors open.

The moment you believe in someone, you lose intelligence. Belief is almost like poison to your intelligence.
- Osho
Life cannot be possessed. You cannot have it in your fist. If you want to have it, you have to keep your hands open.

Whenever you punish somebody you are punishing yourself. Whenever you torture somebody you are torturing yourself — because there is nobody else.

Rare is the person who transforms his life into a growth, who transforms his life into a long journey of self-actualization, who becomes what he was meant to be. In the East we have called that man the buddha.

To choose is to choose a prison; to choose is to choose a bondage. To choose is wrong, to be choiceless is to be right.

Whenever you create something, you feel enhanced; you reach towards peaks; you get high. All people who are creative are close to religion.
- 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
One seed can make a whole earth green. One small sparkle of energy in you can fill the whole earth with dance, song, music.

Accept yourself as you are. And that is the most difficult thing in the world, because it goes against your training, education, your culture.

Humanity will never be religious unless all organized religions disappear and religion becomes an individual commitment towards existence.

The moment you accept yourself, you become beautiful.
- 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
I have called the New Man ZORBA THE BUDDHA. Zorba represents the materialist, objective approach. Buddha represents the subjective, spiritual approach. Divided, both are poor.

Don’t pay much attention to fear, because that is dangerous. If you pay much attention to fear you are feeding it, and it will grow.

All beliefs suffocate and all beliefs help you not to be really alive. They deaden your being.

Mind is something unnatural; it never becomes your natural state. But meditation is a natural state — which we have lost.
- 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
Money, power, and prestige are uncreative; not only uncreative but destructive activities. Beware of them!!
- 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
Grace is a by-product of meditation. The more silent you become inside, the more graceful you become on the outside.
- Osho
Your politicians, priests, parents, they all are guilt-creators, because that is the only way that you can be controlled and manipulated.

Sex is not your creation: it is God's gift.

Up Down Larger Font Smaller Font Go comment

Sex is not your creation: it is God's gift. Something tremendously valuable is hidden in it -- it is just a shell of your samadhi. If the seed is broken, the shell is broken, the flower will bloom -- but not by repression. You will have to learn inner gardening, you will have to become a gardener, you will have to learn how to use dirty fertilizers, manure, and transform manure into roses.

Religion is the most delicate art.

-Osho, "The Fish in the Sea is Not Thirsty, #13"

Who told you that sex is dirty? All life exists through sex, all life grows out of it. All that is beautiful is sexual. The cuckoo crying is not saying a prayer, it is a sexual call. And the flowers Flowering are not flowering for your dead so-called gods in your temples, it is a sexual flowering. All that is beautiful in existence is sexual.

You say: I WANT TO ATTAIN TO BRAHMACHARYA. But why should you want to attain to BRAHMACHARYA? You should try to understand your sexuality. BRAHMACHARYA comes as a consequence. It is not some thing that you attain or that you can attain. The sex obsession is created by you because you want to attain to BRAHMACHARYA. So you go on repressing your sex.

Obviously you will be repressing sex -- because you call it dirty, you call it impure. You think that when you have gone beyond it then you will be pure. You are pure. I declare you pure. As you are, you are perfect. From perfection to more perfection... the journey is not from imperfection to perfection, the journey is from perfection to more perfection. The journey is not from the Devil to God, the journey is from God to more God. You are perfect you are divine, you are pure.

In fact there is nothing more pure than sex. Sex is one of the purest experiences. If it looks impure that is your interpretation. You make it dirty by interpreting it. It is your mahatmas hanging around you who are creating the trouble, it is not the sex that is creating trouble for you. And when you repress it, naturally it waits there waiting for the right moment to bubble up. And whenever you start meditating, feeling that now you are relaxed, you are in a good mood, it starts coming into your fantasies. Seeing that a meditator will be more understanding it asserts itself before you. Feeling that now you will be a little more kind and compassionate the fantasy arises.

-Osho, "Zen: The Path of Paradox, Vol 1, #8, Q3"
