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.

Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.- 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.

Its very nature is to reach to the ocean. It is not an effort, it is its intrinsic quality.- 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.

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.

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

Mind, and mind’s hold on you, is the imprisonment. Get rid of the mind.- Osho

Sannyas is only a declaration. The work is meditation. In one single word, my religion is complete, and that is meditation.- Osho

You are right now at the very source, and you have never left it for a single moment. Just recognize it, just open your eyes and see it!- Osho
-
The people who ask what is the meaning of life are the people who have missed life, who are alive because they are still breathing; otherwise they are dead.- Osho

-
Tomorrow never comes, it is always today.- 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

When you awaken in your deepest core of being, in the very center of your existence, then there is only silence, immense joy and celebration.- Osho

Only a mediator knows what life is, because he has reached the very source of eternity.- Osho
-
Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.- Osho
-
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
-
Just as on a rosebush roses blossom, on the bush of awareness roses also blossom—roses of goodness roses of beauty, roses of grace.- Osho

Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.- 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

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
-
It is better to be ignorant; at least the ignorance is yours. It is authentic, it is real, sincere and honest!- Osho

My word for prayer is love. Forget the word prayer, replace it with love. Love is not for some invisible God. Love is for the visible -- human beings, animals, trees, oceans, mountains. Spread your wings of love as far and wide as you can.- Osho
-
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

Religion is nothing but a science to attain wisdom, understanding, to know what life is, and to live it in utter celebration.- 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
-
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

The ego is an island in the ocean of Hell. You want to get rid of the Hell but you don’t want to get rid of that island. Then there is trouble.- Osho

Humanity will never be religious unless all organized religions disappear and religion becomes an individual commitment towards existence.- 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.- 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
-
Whatever you feel, you become. It is your responsibility.- Osho
-
Don’t expect, and there will be no frustration. Frustration is just a shadow which follows expectation.- Osho

-
Reality has not to be invented, it has to be discovered. It is already there. Hence science discovers, and true religion also discovers.- 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
-
Love lives in waiting – dies in meeting, becomes ordinary.- Osho

With fear, hate, jealousy-anything whatsoever- don’t create a problem out of it. Accept it, allow it, pass through it, and you will defeat all suffering.- Osho

Intelligence is a natural phenomenon, every child is born intelligent.- 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

You create yourself moment to moment. You are mot born as a fixed entity, but only as an infinite. You are born as a seed, not as a tree.- Osho
-
When your ego is no more, only then will you know who you are.- 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
-
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
-
The authentic religion teaches you to discover your immortality, to discover the god within you.- Osho
-
Meditation is purest blissfulness. As you go deeper, you come across more and more beautiful spaces, more and more luminous spots. They are your treasure.- 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
-
A religious person is a desireless person.- Osho
-
We have to change this world by celebrating, by dancing, by singing, by music, by meditation, by love, not by struggle.- Osho
-
Resolution is struggle. Resolution is ego. Resolution is saying, I cannot live spontaneously.- Osho

Don’t postpone anything beautiful for tomorrow. Live intensely, live totally, here and now.- Osho

Nobody should in any way interfere in anybody else’s life.- Osho
-
Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.- Osho
-
Respect your life. Out of that respect you will start respecting life in others.- 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
-
Drop envy and jealousy, otherwise there is no possibility — because love cannot exist where envy and jealousies exist.- Osho

Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated.- Osho

Continuously clean your mind of beliefs, concepts, theories, ideas, ideologies, philosophies, doctrines, scriptures… Then the reality will be revealed to you.- Osho
-
My work consists to bring you out of your cages — Hindu, Christian, Jew, communist, theist, atheist.- Osho
-
My effort is to continuously emphasize that meditation is nothing but watching the mind, understanding the mind, seeing all its subtle and cunning ways.- Osho
-
Life is not logic, life is not philosophy. Life is a dance, a song, a celebration! It is more like love and less like logic.- Osho
-
My meditation is not something separate from life, it is something that has to be spread all over life. Your whole life has to be colored by it.- Osho
-
If you want life, then for life there is no fixed road. Life is here and now, multi-dimensional, spreading in every direction.- 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
-
A happy person needs no temple, no church--because for a happy person the whole universe is a temple, the whole existence is a church.- 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

Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.- Osho
-
Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece.- Osho
-
Freedom is our most precious treasure. Don’t lose it for anything. . . .- 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

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
-
All ambition is politics, all struggle to be the first is politics. A non-struggling, non conflicting mind is religious.- Osho
-
If meditation really happens, whatsoever the cause, compassion has to follow.- 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
-
Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.- 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

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
-
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
-
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

It is a strange thing, that every child is born with a closed hand, and every body dies with an open hand.- Osho

-
My function here is to destroy all hypocrisy in you.- Osho
-
My perception of sannyas is to be just yourself. If I say any attribute, I am imposing that attribute on my sannyasins. My sannyas is absolute freedom. With freedom of course a great responsibility comes, but that is not my business.- Osho
-
The deeper your love, The deeper is your life. Think of love and life as synonymous.- Osho
-
Life is a beautiful journey if it is a process of constant learning, exploration. Then it is excitement every moment.- Osho

The only thing that matters in life is your own opinion about yourself, nobody can destroy your dignity then, because it is not dependent on anybody’s opinion.- Osho

People are not things, you cannot have ownership.- Osho
-
Witnessing is a happening, a by-product--a by-product of being total in any moment, in any situation, in any experience. Totality is the key.- Osho

Old age is your own creation: it can be a misery, it can be a celebration; it can be simply a despair, and it can also be a dance. It all depends how deeply ready you are to accept existence, whatsoever it brings.- Osho
-
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
-
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

A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.- Osho
-
Life is absolutely balanced between the positive and the negative. Now it is your choice which side you want to be – in heaven or in hell.- 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
-
No one can achieve one's individuality by following another, the other is always the other.- Osho

Accept yourself as you are. And that is the most difficult thing in the world, because it goes against your training, education, your culture.- Osho
-
When mind knows, we call it knowledge.When heart knows, we call it love. And when being knows, we call it meditation.- Osho
-
If you deceive someone, you lose one of life’s greatest treasures, the capacity to trust. Without trust, love is not possible.- Osho
-
Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.- 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
-
Do not imitate anyone, do not follow anyone, otherwise you will be just a pseudo existence - and that is worse than suicide.- 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. Neither of them is a full circle. Joined, they become immensely rich. Joined together, they experience the greatest ecstasy that is available to humanity.- Osho
-
You be simply interested in your happiness, in your bless, and one day you will find godliness has entered in you. It is another name for ultimate bliss.- Osho
-
Meditation is an effort to get rid of personality and to reach to your living sources of life, your individuality, your flame.- 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
-
Be fully, wholly aware of yourself. Because without being totally aware, you will never know the beauty and the splendor of this existence that surrounds you.- Osho
-
Love is true only when it does not interfere in the privacy of the other person. It respects his individuality, his privacy.- 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
-
Every man has the potential to become enlightened. If he does not become, he is responsible — nobody else is responsible for it.- Osho
-
The knowledgeable person lives with a question mark ‘?’ and the man of awe and wonder lives with an exclamation mark.- Osho
-
Life is a mystery, and there is nothing to explain everything is just open, it is in front of you. Encounter it! Meet it! Be courageous!- Osho
-
Your real being flowers only with love. Ambition is against love. Anything that is against love is against you and your real life, your real destiny.- Osho
-
To me, this is religion - enjoying the air, enjoying the sea, enjoying the sand, enjoying the sun—because there is no other god than existence itself. 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.- Osho
-
Sadness comes, joy comes, and everything passes by. What remains always is the witness. The witness is beyond all polarities.- Osho

Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.- Osho
