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.

My whole love and respect is for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has courage.

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.

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

-
Aloneness is a flower, a lotus blooming in your heart. Aloneness is positive, aloneness is health.- 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
-
I am a natural person. I have no charisma, and I don’t believe in charisma. I don’t believe in methods - even if I use them, I don’t believe in them. I am a natural person, very ordinary. I can be lost in a crowd and you will not be able to find me. I don’t lead you, I accompany you.- 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.

My enlightenment has freed me from everything, including enlightenment.- 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.

It opens the door of your eternal aloneness.- Osho

You don't need somebody to interpret for you what a beautiful sunrise it is.- Osho
-
Love is a sharing. But before you can share, you have to have it! Meditation should be the first thing. Meditation is the center, love is the circumference of it. Meditation is the flame, love is the radiation of it. Meditation is the flower, love is the fragrance of it.- 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

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
-
When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.- 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 actions being right or wrong, it is a question of consciousness - whether you are doing it consciously or unconsciously like a robot.- 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

Mind always creates duality.- Osho
-
Don’t go on with borrowed knowledge. Otherwise you will forget that you are ignorant, and you will remain ignorant.- Osho

Meditation comes automatically to a joyous person. Meditation is very simple to a person who can celebrate, who can delight in life.- Osho
-
Only idiots are not controversial.- Osho
-
That’s why I called even enlightenment the last game. The sooner you drop it, the better. Why not just simply be? Why unnecessarily hurry here and there? You are what existence wants you to be. Just relax.- 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
-
My whole love and respect is for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has courage.- 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
-
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

To possess anything is to be possessed by it. The more you possess, the more slavery you create around yourself.- Osho
-
Watch, witness. Your body is not you; your mind is not you. You are just a pure witness.- Osho

Love in its purest form is a sharing of joy. It asks nothing in return, it expects nothing. Love is a spiritual phenomenon; lust is physical. Ego is psychological; love is spiritual.- 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
-
I don’t believe in nationalism, and I don’t believe in any religion. I believe in the individual and his happiness.- 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
-
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
-
Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.- 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
-
Never try to change a person you love, because the very effort to change says that you love half, and the other half of the person is not accepted.- Osho

To be frank with you - which usually I am not - I don't know who I am. Knowledge is not possible here where I am. Only the knower is left, the known has disappeared; only the container is left, the content is no more.- Osho

Your real being only flowers with unconditional love. Ambition is against love. Anything that is against love is against you and your real life.- Osho

Remember, meditation is not something that is done by the mind, it is the absence of the mind. When the mind stops, meditation happens. It is not something out of the mind, it is something beyond the mind.- Osho
-
Love means the art of being with others. Meditation means the art of being with yourself. Both are two aspects of the same coin.- Osho

Love is painful because it creates the way for bliss. Love is painful because it transforms, love is a mutation. Each transformation is going to be painful because the old has to be left for the new.- Osho
-
Never ask, Who is my real friend? Ask, Am I a real friend to somebody? That is the right question. Always be concerned with yourself.- Osho
-
The only authentic responsibility is towards your own potential. Values have not to be imposed on you. They should grow with your awareness, in you.- 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
-
Life is very precious and the greatest treasure is hidden in it – and that treasure is of becoming a witness.- Osho
-
The first thing that should be a foundation for your whole life is the art of meditation; anything else should come later on.- Osho
-
The only courage is to live life totally; there is no other courage.- Osho
-
Accept the wholeness of life; because to me the acceptance of the whole is the only holy experience in the world.- 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
-
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
-
Just as on a rosebush roses blossom, on the bush of awareness roses also blossom—roses of goodness roses of beauty, roses of grace.- Osho
-
Misery comes the moment you become clinging, attached. The moment you put conditions on life.- Osho
-
I am not here to make you a sheep. You have been a sheep for too long already. I am here to make a man out of you. It is going to be arduous, but you have to start becoming responsible for your own life. Once you start feeling responsible for your own life you start growing, because then there is no point in wasting time in postponing, in waiting. Nobody is coming to help you. All waiting is futile, all waiting is sheer wastage.- Osho
-
Nobody can say anything about you. Whatsoever people say is about themselves. But you become very shaky, because you are still clinging to a false center. That false center depends on others, so you are always looking to what people are saying about you.- Osho
-
Be Realistic: Plan for a Miracle.- 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
-
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
-
A moment of truth is more valuable than a hundred years of life, because a moment of truth makes you part of eternity.- Osho

Sadness comes, joy comes, and everything passes by. What remains always is the witness. The witness is beyond all polarities.- Osho

Trust is the highest form of the same energy as doubt. Doubt is the lowest rung of the ladder, and trust is the highest rung of the same ladder. Use doubt, use it joyfully- Osho

-
Laughter is a tremendously helpful method to shake off all dust that everybody gathers without his knowing.- 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
-
To see the beauty of the flower you need silence, not analysis; beauty can never be understood through analysis.- Osho
-
My Message is very Simple. Live life as dangerously as possible. Live life totally, intensely, passionately, because except for life there is no other God.- Osho
-
Just see how much respect God has paid to you. You are a masterpiece – unrepeatable, incomparable, utterly unique.- Osho

Be less of a judge and you will be surprised that when you become a witness and you don’t judge yourself, you stop judging others too. And that makes you more human, more compassionate, more understanding.- Osho

The person who can be happy alone is really an individual. If your happiness depends on the other, you are a slave; you are not yet free, you are in bondage.- 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
