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

Your whole idea about yourself is borrowed–borrowed from those who have no idea of who they are themselves.- 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.

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

-
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

It opens the door of your eternal aloneness.- 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

-
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

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

If you want life, then for life there is no fixed road. Life is here and now, multi-dimensional, spreading in every direction.- 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

Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.- Osho

God is No Where, Life in Now Here.- 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

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
-
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

When mind knows, we call it knowledge.When heart knows, we call it love. And when being knows, we call it meditation.- 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
-
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
-
Why limit yourself to small things! When the whole is available, only stupid people will cling to small things. Be oceanic!- 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
-
Paradise is within you, in your state of no-mind. And hell is also within you, in your very mind.- Osho
-
Love never should be forced, love never should be an attempt. It should not be in the mind at all - If it happens, then it is beautiful.- Osho
-
I resolve never to make any resolutions because all resolutions are restrictions for the future. All resolutions are imprisonments.- Osho

-
Love brings freedom. And a love that does not bring freedom is not love.- Osho

God happens only when you have moved out of the way and left yourself totally empty, spacious. It is a very strange phenomenon: The guest only comes inside the house when the host disappears.- 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
-
I don't want anybody to cling to me, to be attached to me in any way. My whole effort is to give you total freedom, and methods so that whatever you want, you can create it within yourself. Not even God is needed, nothing is needed ― you are enough unto yourself.- Osho
-
Life is precious, and it is a gift from existence. We should not waste it.- Osho
-
Misery comes the moment you become clinging, attached. The moment you put conditions on life.- Osho
-
Love has to be discovered — it is already there. And how to discover it? The more you are, the less is the possibility to discover love; the less you are, the more is the possibility to discover it. When the river disappears into the ocean, it discovers the ocean — it becomes the ocean.- 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

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 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
-
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.- Osho

-
I am crazy, but you are crazier! And that is the only bond between us - I am crazy, you are crazier.- Osho
-
Religion has nothing to do with churches and temples and rituals: religion is born only when somebody pulsates with love.- 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
-
To love means to drop the ego, to drop yourself. Love means not to BE.- Osho
-
First principle of an authentic religious man is to accept himself as he is, without any judgment—and only from there does your authentic pilgrimage begin.- 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

To me, this is the only strength, the only power – that we can transform life, we can transform consciousness.- Osho
-
There is no need of any competition with anybody. You are yourself, and as you are, you are perfectly good. Accept yourself. This is the way existence wants you to be.- Osho
-
Don’t analyze, celebrate it.- Osho
-
Truth can never be borrowed from anybody.- Osho
-
Practise love. Sitting alone in your room, be loving. Radiate love. Fill the whole room with your love energy.- Osho
-
Freedom is our most precious treasure. Don’t lose it for anything. . . .- 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
-
Sadness comes, joy comes, and everything passes by. What remains always is the witness. The witness is beyond all polarities.- Osho
-
Mind: A beautiful servant, a dangerous master.- Osho
-
You are too much identified with the false, the personality.- 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 person who trusts can relax into existence. The person who cannot trust remains tense, remains anxious, afraid.- Osho

The whole search of religion is for that witness: how to find that which is real.- Osho

A real emperor is one who lives in himself; he has a center of his own, he does not depend on anybody else.- Osho

It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love, or how you love, it matters only that you love.- Osho
-
They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then think as much as you want!- Osho
-
If you can say yes with the totality of your heart, you have said all that can be said. To say yes to existence is to be religious.- Osho
-
Once you have tasted the juice of the present, you don’t care about dangers. Once you are in tune with life then nothing matter. Life all there is.- Osho
-
That’s why children look so beautiful because they are yet full of hope, full of dreams, and they have not yet known frustration.- 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
-
My people worship, but not in a church. They worship the beauty of existence.- 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
-
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
-
To avoid pain, they avoid pleasure. To avoid death, they avoid life.- 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
-
There is no greater ecstasy than to know who you are.- Osho
-
Love makes you wise but never knew. Knowledge makes you cunning and clever but never loving.- Osho
-
Any religion, any ideology, that is based only on belief, or faith, is bound to cripple your intelligence.- 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
-
Your daily life is your temple, and your religion. Act in awareness, act consciously, and many things will start changing.- 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

Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.- Osho
-
Mind is a continuous thirst for more. It never finds fulfillment.- Osho

My whole life has been devoted to only one single program: how to bring love and meditation together - because only through that meeting a new humanity is possible. And only in the meeting of love and meditation, the duality of man and woman - the inequality of man and woman - disappears.- 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
-
When I say be creative I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.- Osho
-
Any religion, any ideology, that is based only on belief, or faith, is bound to cripple your intelligence.- Osho
-
Only people suffering from inferiority complex want to impress others. A really superior person never compares himself with anybody else.- Osho
-
All ambition is politics, all struggle to be the first is politics. A non-struggling, non conflicting mind is religious.- 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
-
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
-
Be a lotus flower. Be in the water, and do not let the water touch you.- 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
-
If you enter heaven because other forced you to act according to certain precepts, certain commandments, you will regret even in heaven.- Osho

-
The deeper your love, The deeper is your life. Think of love and life as synonymous.- 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
-
If you are sad you are wrong; if you are joyful you are right.- Osho
-
Intelligence is a natural phenomenon, every child is born intelligent.- Osho
-
Whatsoever you hide goes on growing, and whatsoever you expose, if it is wrong it disappears, evaporates in the sun, and if it is right it is nourished.- Osho
-
Find godliness and good will come on its own accord. And when good comes on its own accord, it has a beauty, a grace, a simplicity, a humbleness.- Osho
-
Anything that gives you freedom is right, and anything that destroys your freedom is wrong.- Osho
-
I want you to be independent and confident that you can attain these precious moments on your own.- Osho
-
No-mind is not against mind: no-mind is beyond mind.- 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
-
Forget about getting, simply give; and I guarantee you, you will get much.- Osho
-
Listening is a rare art, one of the last arts. Listening means not only hearing with the ears but hearing from the heart, in utter silence.- 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
-
The ultimate state of love is freedom, absolute freedom, and any relationship that destroys freedom is not worthwhile.- Osho
-
You have to drop all your defenses, only then is intimacy possible. We are all hiding a thousand and one things, not only from others but from ourselves.- 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
-
My whole love and respect is for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has courage.- Osho
-
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.- Osho
-
A truth cannot be read in a scripture, a truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.- Osho
-
Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. . . . Easy is right means natural is right, effortlessness is right, egolessness is right.- Osho
-
When you really laugh for those few moments you are in a deep meditative state. Thinking stops. It is impossible to laugh and think together.- 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
-
Truth can only arise within you. Nobody else gives it to you and with truth comes beauty, followed by good.- 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 ego is the cancer of the inner, the cancer of the soul. And the only remedy - the only remedy I say - is meditation.- Osho
-
Be ordinary. Nothing is wrong with ordinariness, because in your very ordinariness you are extraordinary.- Osho
