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.

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.

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.

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
-
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

-
Only people suffering from inferiority complex want to impress others. A really superior person never compares himself with anybody else.- 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

I want every one of my sannyasins to be utterly unique.- 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.- 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
-
Wherever you are, reality is. You are part of reality and you exist only as an organic part to reality. You cannot go away. You cannot separate yourself.- Osho

-
Life is for those who know how to celebrate.- Osho

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.- Osho

The beauty of facing life unprepared is tremendous. Then life has a newness, a youth; then life has a flow and freshness. Then life has so many surprises. And when life has so many surprises boredom never settles in you.- Osho
-
Without possessions, success, fame; who are you?- 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
-
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
-
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

-
Love is a bird and it loves to be free. It needs the whole sky to grow.- Osho

Commit as many mistakes as possible, remembering only one thing: don’t commit the same mistake again. And you will be growing.- Osho

Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.- Osho

-
Meditation will give you a little glimpse, a little taste, that the truth is inside you.- 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

-
If meditation really happens, whatsoever the cause, compassion has to follow.- Osho
-
Celebrate aloneness, celebrate your pure space, and great song will arise in your heart. And it will be a song of awareness; it will be a song of meditation- 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

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 me it is a mystery, not to be solved but to be lived, but you can hear it as misery.- 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

Be – don’t try to become.- Osho

My meditation is a method of being aware — of whatever you are doing, thinking, feeling.- 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

Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.- 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
-
Your marriage is a subtle politics of domination. Your fatherhood, motherhood, is a subtle politics.- 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
-
Any meditation that is of worth will be alive even in the marketplace. Because a marketplace is nothing once you attain to the meditative state.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
Love is true only when it is spontaneous, unplanned, unpracticed, uncultivated, un-thought.- Osho

God is No Where, Life in Now Here.- Osho
-
When Mind knows, We call it Knowledge, When Heart knows, We call it Love, and When Being knows, We call it Meditation.- 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
-
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
-
Truth can whisper its mysteries into your ears only when you are absolutely empty – emptiness is its mysteries into your ears only when you are absolutely empty – emptiness is purity.- Osho

Religion has nothing to do with churches and temples and rituals: religion is born only when somebody pulsates with love.- Osho
-
To see the beauty of the flower you need silence, not analysis; beauty can never be understood through analysis.- Osho
-
Love is true only when it does not interfere in the privacy of the other person. It respects his individuality, his privacy.- Osho

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

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.

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
