Be – don’t try to become.- Osho
-
Whenever you punish somebody you are punishing yourself. Whenever you torture somebody you are torturing yourself — because there is nobody else.- Osho

All ambition is politics, all struggle to be the first is politics. A non-struggling, non conflicting mind is religious.- Osho
-
Life has no meaning. Rejoice! It has no meaning. Dance, sing, enjoy! It has no meaning. You need not be serious. It is a cosmic joke.- Osho
-
Up to now, nobody has said that there is anything beyond enlightenment. That's why I say, I am a milestone. With me, a new chapter in the history of consciousness begins. Enlightenment will be now the beginning, not the end. Beginning of a non-ending process in all dimensions of richness.- Osho

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. All that the people who are trying to find themselves have to do, is remain melted and allow the river to move on its own. You should not be the guide. The river needs no guide. Its very nature is to reach to the ocean. It is not an effort, it is its intrinsic quality.- Osho

I want every one of my sannyasins to be utterly unique.- 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
-
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
-
A woman is to be loved, not understood.- Osho

Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.- 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
-
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
-
Money, power, and prestige are uncreative; not only uncreative but destructive activities. Beware of them!!- 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
-
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

Death is a quantum jump from one body, from one form into another form. But it is not an end to you.- Osho

-
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.- Osho

Your real being flowers only with love. Ambition is against love. Anything that is against love is against you and your real life, your real destiny.- Osho
-
Remain alert about your blindness, about your fear, about your ignorance, and just your alertness will dispel the whole darkness of blindness, of fear, of ignorance.- 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

-
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. Rather than jumping from one shallow happiness to another shallow happiness and wasting your life, it is better to use sadness as a means for meditation. Witness it. It is a friend! It opens the door of your eternal aloneness.- Osho
-
If you can laugh totally, it will give you a moment of no-time, no-min. The mind lives logically with expectations, laughter is something that comes from the beyond.- 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
-
A truth cannot be read in scripture. truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.- Osho
-
If you cannot love yourself, you don’t know even the taste of love or what love means.- Osho
-
Love is the goal, life is the journey.- Osho
-
Fame is foolish, it is pointless, meaningless. Even if the whole world knows you, how does it make you richer? How does it make your life more blissful? How does it help you to be more understanding, to be more aware? To be more alert, to be more alive?- Osho
-
Understanding is only that which has been experienced by the person himself.- Osho
-
Authentic religion does not need any god, does not need any priest, and does not need any prayer. All that it need is an exploration of your inner world.- 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

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
-
Love lives in waiting – dies in meeting, becomes ordinary.- Osho
-
Meditation will give you a little glimpse, a little taste, that the truth is inside you.- Osho
-
My function is very different from the function of Gautam Buddha. His function is only a small part of my philosophy. I want individuals to become enlightened, but I want also the whole of humanity to rise with the enlightened people. They may not become enlightened, but at least become conscious enough so that nations disappear, religions disappear, races disappear, and we can live as one humanity, as one earth.- 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
-

-
Oneness is the key.- Osho
-
To me, every day is a holiday. If you love whatsoever you are doing, you are never tired of it; it is nourishing, it is energy-giving, it is vitalizing.- Osho

Don’t be bothered by perfection. Replace the word ‘Perfection’ by ‘Totality'. Totality will give you a different dimension.- 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

-
The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.- Osho
-
You don’t have any problems. Only this much has to be understood. This very moment you can drop all problems because they are your creations.- Osho

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

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
