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 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

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

why wait for reasons to laugh? Life as it is should be reason enough to laugh. it is so absurd. it is so ridiculous. it is so beautiful, so wonderful! it is all sorts of things together. it is a great cosmic joke. Laughter is the real religion. Everthing else is just metaphysics.- 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
-
Your marriage is a subtle politics of domination. Your fatherhood, motherhood, is a subtle politics.- Osho
-
The feminine is more powerful than the masculine, the soft is more powerful than the hard, the water is more powerful than the rock.- 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

-
Meditation is an effort to get rid of personality and to reach to your living sources of life, your individuality, your flame.- Osho
-
The moment you are interested in becoming somebody else you become complex. To be content with yourself as you are is simple.- Osho
-
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. Then only your mask is related, not you. Whenever such a thing happens, there are four persons in the relationship, not two. Two false persons go on meeting, and the two real persons remain worlds apart.- Osho

Your politicians, priests, parents, they all are guilt-creators, because that is the only way that you can be controlled and manipulated.- Osho

-
Be Realistic: Plan for a Miracle.- 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
-
If you remain always far, love will die. If you remain always near, love will die. Love can survive only in a continuous flowing relationship.- 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
-
Be aware – deep down you are really attached to your negative emotions. They are your ego.- Osho
-
A person who lives in the present – neither bothering about the past, nor bothering about the future – is fresh, young; he is neither a child nor an old man.- 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. The eighth: sensitivity. The ninth: gratefulness. Tenth: a feeling of the mysterious. These ten non-commandments constitute my basic attitude towards reality, towards man's freedom from all kinds of spiritual slavery.- Osho
-
The only quality that buddha has is pure awareness, consciousness, witnessing. Witnessing is a key word for all meditators. Witness that you are not the body. Witness that you are not the mind. Witness that you are only a witness.- Osho

The moment you experience your own being, you have experienced the being of this whole universe because your heartbeat is part of the heartbeat of the universe.- Osho

Only idiots are not controversial.- Osho
-
Life is not given to you to murder, to destroy. Life has been given to you to create, and to rejoice, and to celebrate.- Osho

I love this world because it is imperfect. It is imperfect, and that’s why it is growing; if it was perfect it would have been dead.- Osho
-
Freedom is a ladder: one side of the ladder reaches hell, the other side touches heaven. It is the same ladder; the choice is yours.- Osho
-
No thought, no mind, no choice — just being silent, rooted in yourself.- Osho
-
So the second thing to remember is never to demand perfection. You have no right to demand anything from anybody. If somebody loves you, be thankful, but don’t demand anything—because the other has no obligation to love you.- 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
-
If you are aware, you cannot be angry, because anger can exist only in a state of unawareness; that is a prerequisite for anger to exist.- Osho
-
you cannot be anybody else than yourself. That is authentic religiousness Every individual has his own uniqueness and that gives him dignity and grace.- Osho
-
Relationship is the need of those who cannot be alone. Two alone persons relate, communicate, commune, and yet they remain alone.- Osho

We are bringing a new approach in religion. You do not go away from the world, but rather go deeper into it and change it. This is more courageous.- 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
-
There is no other greater ecstasy, no other greater blissfulness, than to know who you are. To know the inner space is to know all.- Osho

There is no other miracle in the world than meditation. It is the only science of transforming you into a new man.- 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
-
Life is precious, and it is a gift from existence. We should not waste it.- Osho
-
Truth is a search, not a faith. It is an inquiry, not a belief. It is a question, a quest.- Osho

Happiness is an art that one has to learn. It has nothing to do with your doing or not doing.- Osho
-
When you are utterly present in this moment, when you don't have any past and don't have any future ... when this cuckoo calling, this train passing, this dog barking, is all ... when THIS is all and there is no that, when the word 'here' is your whole reality and there is no 'there', when now contains all time and there is no then ... then you are in the state of samasati.- Osho
-
The whole of life has to be your Temple; Work has to be your worship, Love has to be your prayer. This very body the Buddha, This very earth the Lotus Paradise.- Osho
-
Whenever you feel a problem look within your heart. If you are at ease, you are on the right path. Your heart is the criterion.- Osho

If you deceive someone, you lose one of life’s greatest treasures, the capacity to trust. Without trust, love is not possible.- Osho
-
Go beyond the mind — and the way beyond the mind is very simple — just become a watcher of the mind.- Osho
-
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.- Osho
-
I am not going to give you a destination. I can only give you a direction - awake, throbbing with life, unknown, always surprising, unpredictable. I'm not going to give you a map. I can give you only a great passion to discover. Yes, a map is not needed; great passion, great desire to discover is needed. Then I leave you alone. Then you go on your own. Move into the vast, into the infinite, and by and by, learn to trust it. Leave yourself in the hands of life.- Osho
-
To love means to drop the ego, to drop yourself. Love means not to BE.- 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 speak of me in the past tense. My presence here will be many times greater without the burden of my tortured body.- Osho

Take it easy, and remember Easy is Right.- 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
-
The only thing that matters in life, is your own opinion about yourself.- 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
-
It cannot be called freedom, a freedom which can choose only the right and not the wrong; then that is not freedom.- 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
-
Love is true only when it does not interfere in the privacy of the other person. It respects his individuality, his privacy.- Osho
-
I also teach you to love yourself first. It has nothing to do with ego. In fact, love is such a light that the darkness of the ego cannot exist in it at all. If you love others, if your love is focused on others, you will live in darkness. Turn your light toward yourself first, become a light unto yourself first. Let the light dispel your inner darkness, your inner weakness. Let love make you a tremendous power, a spiritual force.- 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
-
Thinking is a very low activity; it is of the mind. Meditation is the highest within you; it is beyond mind.- Osho
-
A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.- Osho
-
Any religion, any ideology, that is based only on belief, or faith, is bound to cripple your intelligence.- Osho
-
Try to understand that existence consists of polar opposites. If you choose one side, your life will remain only half; and a half-life is a miserable life.- Osho
-
Respect life, and life will respect you. Love life and love will shower blessing on you.- Osho
-
I have called the New Man ZORBA THE BUDDHA. Zorba represents the materialist, objective approach. Buddha represents the subjective, spiritual approach. Divided, both are poor. Neither of them is a full circle. Joined, they become immensely rich. Joined together, they experience the greatest ecstasy that is available to humanity.- Osho
-
If you feel angry too often you should meditate more on anger, so that anger disappears and its energy becomes compassion.- Osho
-
If you cannot love yourself, you don’t know even the taste of love or what love means.- Osho
-
Don’t pay much attention to fear, because that is dangerous. If you pay much attention to fear you are feeding it, and it will grow.- 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

-
Remember, all great values are killed the moment you cling to them. And no great value can be imitated.- 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
-
The one you are looking for is you.- Osho
-
It does not matter if you are a rose or a lotus or a marigold. What matters is that you are flowering.- Osho
-
Love happens when you are ready to share with another human being. Prayer happens when you are ready to share with God.- Osho
-
Mind is a continuous thirst for more. It never finds fulfillment.- Osho
-
Meditation is an understanding that desires don't lead anywhere.- Osho
