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
-

Your politicians, priests, parents, they all are guilt-creators, because that is the only way that you can be controlled and manipulated.- Osho
-
Whenever you act according to your own light, there is immense fulfilment, and deep rejoicing.- Osho

-
Meditation is perhaps the master key for all our problems.- 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
-
Misery comes the moment you become clinging, attached. The moment you put conditions on life.- Osho
-
I don’t want you to worship Buddha’s; I want you to become Buddha’s. That is the only right worship. If you love become it.- Osho

-
Only idiots are not controversial.- Osho
-
You are not filled with straw, you are filled with your own awareness. You are not filled with furniture, cars, houses, money, and other nonsense. You are just filled with your being, the sheer am-ness, the sheer existence.- Osho
-
When Mind knows, We call it Knowledge, When Heart knows, We call it Love, and When Being knows, We call it Meditation.- Osho
-
We need a world - a new man, a new woman, a new child, who has intelligence. Not to imitate, not to deceive, but to stand on his own with power and integrity. Even if it means that he will be condemned by the whole world, it does not matter. What ultimately matters is that you have your own face.- Osho
-
A real prayer arises out of gratitude, never out of fear and greed. A real prayer arises out of love for truth.- Osho

-
On the path nothing more is needed than Patience- Osho

Life is a purposeless play, a play of infinite forces-beautiful if you don’t have an achiever’s mind, ugly if you have ambition to become something.- 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
-
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

When you cheat somebody, you are losing something of your inner being… something which is tremendously valuable.- Osho
-
Meditation is an understanding that desires don't lead anywhere.- Osho
-
Sannyas is only a declaration. The work is meditation. In one single word, my religion is complete, and that is meditation.- Osho
-
To accept the challenge of the unknown in spite of all fears, is courage. The fears are there, but if you go on accepting the challenge again and again, slowly slowly those fears disappear.- Osho
-
To see the beauty of the flower you need silence, not analysis; beauty can never be understood through analysis.- Osho
-
My effort is to continuously emphasize that meditation is nothing but watching the mind, understanding the mind, seeing all its subtle and cunning ways.- Osho

-
If you want to get rid of misery, get rid of the lust for happiness. And when there is no misery, there is happiness.- Osho

Only a mediator knows a love that is not biological, that comes as a spiritual abundance, with a great urge to share.- Osho
-
Happiness is available to everybody —whosoever opens his heart, happiness is always available.- Osho
-
This I call true religion – playfulness, lovingness, cheerfulness.- 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
-
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
-

Respect life, revere life. There is nothing more holy than life, nothing more divine than life.- Osho

Love is life, love is god, love is sannyas.- 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

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
-
Be herenow… just this moment.- 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
-
So when I say, Spread the word, I mean whatever I have been telling you, go on spreading in as many ways as possible. Use all the news media, use everything that technology has provided, so that the word reaches to every nook and corner of the earth. And remember, it is far more powerful than any nuclear weapons because nuclear weapons can only bring death -- that is not power. But the word which has come from an enlightened consciousness can bring new life to you; it can give you rebirth, resurrection -- that is power.- Osho
-
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.- 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.

I am deliberately inconsistent, contradictory, so that you cannot make any body of knowledge out of me. So if one day you start gathering something, another day I take it away. 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.
