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.

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously.

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

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.

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.

You are rich if you have tasted the nectar of your own consciousness. You are rich if you are capable of sharing your love unconditionally.- Osho
-
This has been said again and again, down through the ages. All the religious people have been saying this; 'We come alone into this world, we go alone.' All togetherness is illusory.- Osho
-
If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.- Osho
-
The real religious man has to contribute to the world. He has to make it a little more beautiful than he found it when he came into the world.- Osho

Sharing is one of the greatest spiritual qualities. The miracle is that the more you share your bliss the more you have it.- Osho

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

To be here and now, you have to be in meditation, beyond mind.- Osho

Everything is beautiful if inside your heart there is awareness.- Osho

I have been teaching you nothing else except to be more alive, more loving, more singing, more dancing.- Osho

-
When peace starts dancing. It is bliss. When peace becomes active, overflowing, it is bliss.- Osho
-
The only courage is to live life totally; there is no other courage.- Osho

Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny – he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally – you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.- Osho
-
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. Only false religion has rules, because false religion is a game.- Osho

Celebration is the very nature of existence.- Osho
-
I don’t have a goal, because existence has no goal. It simply is, flowering, blossoming, dancing – but don’t ask why. Just an overflow of energy, for no reason at all.- Osho

-
Life is not a means to some end somewhere in the future. Life is its own end, it’s own means. Life is all.- Osho

Don’t try to understand life. Live it! Don’t try to understand love. Move into love. Then you will know and that knowing will come out of your experiencing.- Osho
-
Giving love is the real beautiful experience, because then you are an emperor. Getting love is a very small experience. It is the experience of beggar.- 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 love life. That’s why I give teachings of celebration, celebrate everything. From body to soul, physical to spiritual, sex to superconsciousness, everything is divine for me.- 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
-
Man is born only as a potential. He can become a thorn for himself and for others, he can also become a flower for himself and for others.- 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
-
You create yourself moment to moment. You are mot born as a fixed entity, but only as an infinite. You are born as a seed, not as a tree.- Osho
-
Happiness is not conditional; nothing is needed to be happy. Only to be alive is needed — and that you are, you already are.- 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

To love means to drop the ego, to drop yourself. Love means not to BE.- Osho

Individuality is the very flowering of existence — nothing is higher than it.- Osho
-
To be choiceless is to be in meditation. To be choiceless is to enter the eternal.- Osho
-
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

Accept the fact that we are strangers; that we don´t know who you are, that you don´t know who I am. I myself don´t know who I am, so how can you know?- 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
-
Only lovers know the unity, thinkers cannot know unity. And in the unity of the whole one finds love and one finds wisdom.- Osho
-
Friendship is the purest love. It is the highest form of Love where nothing is asked for, no condition, where one simply enjoys giving.- 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
-
The world is a garland of millions of flowers, but running through all those flowers is a thread that keeps it together: that thread is love.- Osho
-
Once you know meditation, you don’t have to follow anybody. You have your own eyes open, and you have your light just ahead of you showing the path.- Osho
-
Man has to create himself. He is not ready- made, he is no given. And the creation has to be a self- creation – nobody else can make 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
-
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.- Osho

A meditator needs no personal guidance. A meditator, on the contrary, needs only one thing: the atmosphere of meditation. He needs other meditators; he needs to be surrounded by other meditators.- Osho

Absence of consciousness is ego. Whenever the ego is absent, Love is present.- Osho

-
The moment you accept youself you become beautiful.- Osho
-
The moment you believe in someone, you lose intelligence. Belief is almost like poison to your intelligence.- Osho
-
If you deceive someone, you lose one of life’s greatest treasures, the capacity to trust. Without trust, love is not possible.- 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
-
There is no other god than life. So allow yourself to be possessed by life in all its forms, colors, dimensions – the whole rainbow, all the notes of music.- Osho
-
The ego is just a useful fiction. Use it, but don't be deceived by it.- Osho
-
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.- Osho
-
Don’t be bothered by perfection. Replace the word ‘Perfection’ by ‘Totality'. Totality will give you a different dimension.- 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
-
On the path nothing more is needed than Patience- Osho
-
Presence of mind means to be in the present, to be spontaneous, to be available to whatsoever is happening right now--to be available to here and now.- Osho
-
I am not a messiah and I am not a prophet. I am only a friend, and a friend cannot do what you are asking me to do. What commandments can I give you? No, none. I cannot tell you what to do and what not to do.- 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
-
All that is great is going to happen to you-- not by your effort, but by your relaxed openness, availability. Just keep your doors open.- Osho
-
It is better to be ignorant; at least the ignorance is yours. It is authentic, it is real, sincere and honest!- Osho
-
All your knowledge is dust. Knowing is your purity, knowledge is dust.- Osho
-
A woman is to be loved, not understood.- Osho
-
Where silence and awareness meet, mingle and become one, there is receptivity. Receptivity is the most important religious quality.- Osho
-
That which makes you miserable is the only sin. That which takes you away from yourself is the only thing to be avoided.- 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
-
A religious person is a desireless person.- Osho
-
Don't get tempted. Don't advise unless you really know. Don't guide.- 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
-
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
-
If you love a person, you accept the total person. With all the defects. Because those defects are a part of the person. 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. When you love, you simply love.- Osho
-
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously; then there will not be any darkness.- 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
-
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
-
You can go on changing the outer for lives and you will never be satisfied. Unless the inner changes, the outer can never be perfect.- 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
-
Meditation cannot be a fragmented thing, it should be a continuous effort. Every moment one has to be alert, aware and meditative.- Osho
-
The whole play of existence is so beautiful that laughter can be the only response to it. Only laughter can be the real prayer, gratitude.- Osho
-
A real prayer arises out of gratitude, never out of fear and greed. A real prayer arises out of love for truth.- Osho
-
Don't try to be a guru, don't try to be a helper. because you will disturb; you will create more problems.- Osho

At the center we are one. At the periphery of existence we appear to be separate. And to know the truth of your being is to know the whole.- Osho

The person who trusts can relax into existence. The person who cannot trust remains tense, remains anxious, afraid.- 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
-
Life is an infinite mystery, therefore those who are filled with knowledge are deprived of life.- 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
-
Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love.- 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
-
Meditation is perhaps the master key for all our problems.- 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
-
Power over others is ugly. It is inhuman, because to have power over somebody means to reduce the person to a thing. He becomes your possession.- 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, only stupid people will cling to small things. Be oceanic.- Osho
-
Love is the only miracle there is. Love is the ladder from hell to heaven. Love learned well, you have learned all. Love missed, you missed your whole life.- Osho
-
A man who lives life in its totality is a rainbow; he lives the whole spectrum of it.- Osho
-
With fear, hate, jealousy-anything whatsoever- don’t create a problem out of it. Accept it, allow it, pass through it, and you will defeat all suffering.- Osho
-
Meditation is not doing anything directly to your violence, not doing anything to your jealousy, to your hate. It is simply brining light into your house, and the darkness disappears.- Osho
-
The only thing that matters in life is your own opinion about yourself, nobody can destroy your dignity then, because it is not dependent on anybody’s opinion.- 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
-
Loneliness is sad, aloneness is blissful.- Osho
-
Avoid rationalizing your own errors and mistakes. Because if you rationalize, you protect them. Then they will be repeated.- Osho
-
Knowledge is borrowed; knowing is yours, your own. It is authentic knowledge is information, knowing is transformation.- Osho
-
You cannot destroy inner emptiness. It is your very being. You can cover it with things, but sooner or later you will have to encounter it. And it is better if you encounter it sooner.- 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

If you want to learn anything, learn trust – nothing else is needed. If you are miserable, nothing else will help – learn trust. If you don’t feel any meaning in life and you feel meaningless, nothing will help – learn trust. Trust gives meaning because trust makes you capable of allowing the whole descend upon you.- 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
-
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
-
In the death of the ego love is born, divine is born, light is born, in the death of the ego you are transformed, all misery disappears.- Osho
