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.

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

Two false persons go on meeting, and the two real persons remain worlds apart.- Osho

Reaction is always unconscious; and response is always conscious.- Osho
-
The one you are looking for is you.- 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 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.- Osho

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

All waiting is futile, all waiting is sheer wastage.- 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.- 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

Life has no meaning. Rejoice! It has no meaning. Dance, sing, enjoy! It has no meaning. You need not be serious. It is a cosmic joke.- Osho

Through meditation ultimately one finds the being. And the moment you have found the being there is nothing more to be found – you have come home.- Osho
-
I want you to be absolutely certain that nothing is wrong with anybody; all wrongs have been fed into you.- Osho

Love the person, but give the person total freedom. Love the person, but from the very beginning make it clear that you are not selling your freedom.- Osho

Out of love, everything is right. Love is the magic that transforms everything into right.- Osho

A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.- Osho

If you are not spiritually free, you are no free at all. Then all your freedoms are bogus, phony, pseudo.- Osho

Being playful is one of the great secrets of inner transformation. Learn to be playful. If all seriousness disappears from your life, you are religious.- Osho

No thought, no mind, no choice — just being silent, rooted in yourself.- 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
-
Just see how much respect God has paid to you. You are a masterpiece – unrepeatable, incomparable, utterly unique.- 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
-
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 word devil is very beautiful, if you read it backwards it becomes lived. That which is lived becomes divine and that which is not lived becomes the devil.- Osho

A truth cannot be read in scripture. truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.- 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
-
You cannot destroy inner emptiness. It is your very being. You can cover it with things, but sooner or later you will have to encounter it. And it is better if you encounter it sooner.- Osho
-
Meditation will give you a little glimpse, a little taste, that the truth is inside you.- Osho
-
Meditation is an understanding that desires don't lead anywhere.- Osho
-
Love is true only when it is spontaneous, unplanned, unpracticed, uncultivated, un-thought.- 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
-
Conditional love is nothing but an infatuation, sexuality. Unconditional is the only way love can be.- Osho
-
Insecurity is beautiful. And the day you know insecurity is beautiful, you have know the wisdom if insecurity.- Osho
-
If you live with alertness, you live rightly. If you live in imitation, you live wrongly. To me there is only one sin: And that is not to be yourself. And to me there is only one virtue: And that is to know yourself.- Osho
-
If you love yourself, you love others. If you hate yourself, you hate others. In relationship with others, it is only you mirrored.- Osho

God is a person; godliness is a quality. You cannot become God, but you can be godly.- Osho
-
All your knowledge is dust. Knowing is your purity, knowledge is dust.- 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
-
Only silence communicates the truth as it is.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
The greatest freedom is to be free of one’s own mind.- 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
-
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
-
Love is just like a breeze: it comes, but you should not close your doors to keep the breeze inside.- Osho
-
Unless the truth is your own experience, whatever you believe about truth is only a belief. And all beliefs are lies, and all believers are blind.- 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
-
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
-
If you work without love, you are working like a slave. When you work with love, you work like an emperor. Your work is your joy, your work is your dance.- 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
-
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.- 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
-
Walk Without Feet, Fly Without Wings and Think Without Mind.- Osho
-
Discover yourself, otherwise you have to depend on other people’s opinions who don’t know themselves.- Osho
-
Love brings freedom. And a love that does not bring freedom is not love.- 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
-
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
-
Go beyond the mind — and the way beyond the mind is very simple — just become a watcher of the mind.- 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
-
To love means to drop the ego, to drop yourself. Love means not to be.- Osho
-
Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.- Osho
-
Love can never possess. Love is giving freedom to the other. Love is an unconditional gift, it is not a bargain.- Osho
-
I want you to be independent and confident that you can attain these precious moments on your own.- 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
-
Love is the goal, life is the journey.- Osho
-
Prayer is meaningless if it is not out of alertness. And a man of alertness need not have any prayer – alertness is enough unto itself.- 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
-
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
-
Do meditation without thinking of any result, enjoy meditating as an end in itself. And then some day the light explodes, the ego disappears.- 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
-
Be ordinary. Nothing is wrong with ordinariness, because in your very ordinariness you are extraordinary.- 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
-
Truth certainly liberates, but the truth has to be your own. Only then it liberates.- Osho
-
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance. Buddha has defined compassion as love plus meditation.- 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 don’t believe in nationalism, and I don’t believe in any religion. I believe in the individual and his happiness.- Osho
-
The existence loves you, otherwise you would not be here. Relax into your being, you are cherished by the whole.- Osho
-
A truth cannot be read in a scripture, a truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.- 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
-
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
-
You need either to create something or to discover something. Either bring your potential to actuality or go inwards to find yourself, but do something with your freedom.- Osho
-
Never obey anyone’s command unless it is coming from within you also.- Osho
-
I have been teaching you nothing else except to be more alive, more loving, more singing, more dancing.- Osho
-
This I call true religion – playfulness, lovingness, cheerfulness.- 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
-
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
-
Witness is the highest growth of consciousness. There is nothing beyond it. To remain a witness, awake or asleep, is the whole process of meditation.- Osho
-
The mind a beautiful servant, a dangerous master.- Osho
-
The only refuge is the perfection of wisdom, the perfection of meditation.- Osho
-
Renunciation follows awareness like a shadow.- 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
-
Bravery does not mean being fearless. It means to be full of fear but still not being dominated by it.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.- Osho
-
The fundamental thing is to drop the split, to become one. Be one, and then all else is possible; even the impossible is possible.- Osho
-
Whenever you plan for love, whenever deliberateness enters into it it becomes phony and false.- Osho
-
Truth is a search, not a faith. It is an inquiry, not a belief. It is a question, a quest.- 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
-
When you are Yourself, There is Truth, there is Beauty, There is Grace, there is Ecstasy.- Osho
-
The new man will live out of meditation, out of consciousness, out of his own inner light. The new man will be an individual.- 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
-
To possess anything is to be possessed by it. The more you possess, the more slavery you create around yourself.- Osho
-
Perfect people don’t exist. And perfect people, if they existed, would be very boring. It is imperfection that keeps life interesting.- Osho
-
We remain unnecessarily worried. All worries are futile because that which is going to happen is going to happen.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
There is no greater ecstasy than to know who you are.- Osho
-
Life is an infinite mystery, therefore those who are filled with knowledge are deprived of life.- Osho
-
To go beyond judgements of good and bad is the way of watchfulness. And it is through watchfulness that transformations happen.- 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
-
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
-
Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.- Osho
-
If you live with love, through love, you will live a great life, because love makes everything great.- Osho
-
Man is born only as a potential. He can become a thorn for himself and for others, he can also become a flower for himself and for others.- 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
-
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
-
If you love yourself, you will be surprised: others will love you. Nobody loves a person who does not love himself.- Osho
-
Don’t seek, don’t search, don’t ask, don’t knock, don’t demand – relax. If you relax it comes, if you relax it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it.- Osho
-
Without possessions, success, fame; who are you?- Osho
-
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.- Osho
-
Life is a purposeless play, a play of infinite forces-beautiful if you don’t have an achiever’s mind, ugly if you have ambition to become something.- Osho
-
If you enter heaven because other forced you to act according to certain precepts, certain commandments, you will regret even in heaven.- Osho
-
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. Only false religion has rules, because false religion is a game.- 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
-
If you have no conditions you can enjoy life infinitely. If you have conditions, because of them you become incapable.- Osho
-
I have a deep reverence for everything that is alive, a reverence for life itself.- Osho
-
To be in tune, to be harmonious with the universe, is bliss is joy, is music, is poetry. You start blooming the moment you are in tune with the whole.- Osho
-
It cannot be called freedom, a freedom which can choose only the right and not the wrong; then that is not freedom.- Osho
-
Sannyas is only a declaration. The work is meditation. In one single word, my religion is complete, and that is meditation.- 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
-
Don't choose. Accept life as it is in it's totality.- Osho
-
Understanding is only that which has been experienced by the person himself.- Osho
-
Only idiots are not controversial.- Osho
-
Knowledge is borrowed; knowing is yours, your own. It is authentic, knowledge is information, and knowing is transformation.- Osho
-
To avoid pain, they avoid pleasure. To avoid death, they avoid life.- Osho
