These three things are to be taken note of: the lowest love is sex - it is physical - and the highest refinement of love is compassion. Sex is below love, compassion is above love; love is exactly in the middle- 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

Just look at life with more playful eyes. Don’t be serious. Seriousness becomes like a blindness. Don’t pretend to be a thinker, a philosopher. Just simply be a human being.- 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

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
-
We are bringing a new approach in religion. You do not go away from the world, but rather go deeper into it and change it. This is more courageous.- Osho

I'm not giving you another dream, remember. You hanker for it, you would like me to give you another dream, but I am not going to give you another dream. That's why to be with me is difficult and arduous - because I am insisting that you wake up. Enough is enough. You have dreamed a lot; since eternity you have been dreaming. You have just been changing dreams. When you get fed up with one dream, you start changing it; you dream another dream. My whole effort is to shake you, to shock you - to wake you.- Osho

-
You are simply a witness, no judgment, no evaluation, but a pure silent witnessing like a mirror.- Osho

The greatest poverty of all is the absence of love. The man who has not developed the capacity to love lives in a private hell of his own. A man who is filled with love is in heaven.- 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.

You don't need somebody to interpret for you what a beautiful sunrise it is.- 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

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

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
-
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
-
Wherever you are afraid, try to explore, and you will find death hiding somewhere behind. All fear is of death. Death is the only fear source.- Osho

-
The one you are looking for is you.- Osho

Life is a musical instrument, and awareness is its greatest music.- Osho

Meditation is an understanding that desires don't lead anywhere.- 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.- 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
-
Do not seek a guru, because gurus are crippling. Anyone who gives you ready-made formulas is not a friend but an enemy.- Osho
-
Intelligence comes from meditation, intelligence comes from rebellion, intelligence does not come from memory.- 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
-
You are rich if you have tasted the nectar of your own consciousness. You are rich if you are capable of sharing your love unconditionally.- Osho

Reaction is always unconscious; and response is always conscious.- Osho

-
Love is the goal, life is the journey.- Osho
-
Love is just like a breeze: it comes, but you should not close your doors to keep the breeze inside.- Osho
-
A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.- Osho
-
Truth can never be borrowed from anybody.- 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.- Osho
-
Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece.- Osho
-
I am not anti-life as other religions are. I am absolutely for life, and life in its essence means love.- Osho

Love lives in waiting – dies in meeting, becomes ordinary.- Osho

The moment you accept yourself, you become beautiful.- 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
-
The moment you accept youself you become beautiful.- Osho
-
Grace is a by-product of meditation. The more silent you become inside, the more graceful you become on the outside.- Osho

Be. Don’t try to become. Within these two words, be and becoming, your whole life is contained. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance.- Osho
-
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

Move into the vast, into the infinite, and by and by, learn to trust it. Leave yourself in the hands of life.- Osho

My function is very different from the function of Gautam Buddha. His function is only a small part of my philosophy.

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

Freedom is the ultimate value in the human soul.- 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

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.

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.

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.

That is the beginning of a superman, the beginning of the new man, a new humanity.- 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.

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
