If you follow him, the only way is to be constantly on the move. Be a river.- Osho

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

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

It is the same energy dancing in different forms. We in the East have called it 'leela'. Leela means god's play.- Osho
-
Don’t be angry at life. It is not life that is frustrating you, it is you who are not listening to life.- 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.

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
-
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.

Risking all to be oneself, that’s what maturity is all about.- 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

Love is ultimate, the highest health, because love makes one whole. When you love a master by and by you completely forgot about love.- 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
-
Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously… Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul.- Osho
-
No one can achieve one's individuality by following another, the other is always the other.- Osho
-
All ambition is politics, all struggle to be the first is politics. A non-struggling, non conflicting mind is religious.- 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
