When your ego is no more, only then will you know who you are.- 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
-
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 want to learn anything, learn trust – nothing else is needed. If you are miserable, nothing else will help – learn trust.

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

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

Beware! You are creating suffering every moment. By being unaware you create suffering; by being aware you create bliss.- 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
-
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

Be like an alone peak high in the sky. Why should you hanker to belong? You are not a thing! Things belong!- 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
-
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

Celebration is my attitude, unconditional to what life brings.- 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
-
Your marriage is a subtle politics of domination. Your fatherhood, motherhood, is a subtle politics.- Osho
-
You can either be creative, or you are bound to be destructive. You cannot remain neutral; either you have to affirm life with all its joys, or you start condemning life.- Osho

Laughter is a tremendously helpful method to shake off all dust that everybody gathers without his knowing.- Osho

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

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches.

The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.- Osho

This I call true religion – playfulness, lovingness, cheerfulness.- 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.

Any meditation that is of worth will be alive even in the marketplace. Because a marketplace is nothing once you attain to the meditative state.- 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
-
Your heaven and your happiness is always somewhere else; it is never where you are. Real happiness is always HERE, it is always NOW.- Osho
-
Desire disappears as you become more and more aware. When awareness is one hundred percent, there is no desire at all.- 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
-
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

Meditation is the shortest way possible because you don’t go anywhere; you simply close your eyes and dive deep within your own being - where you already are.- 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
-
There is a morality which is imposed from the outside which is never in tune with your heart. And there is a morality that comes from within you: it is always in tune with your heart and in tune with heart of the universe. That’s authentic morality.- Osho
-
Love is the goal, life is the journey.- 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
-
Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously. Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul and playfulness the greatest health.- Osho
-
Love is the ultimate, the end. You love for love’s own sake. It is not a means to anything else, it is its own end.- Osho
-
Unless you love yourself, you can’t love anybody. Be selfish.- 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
-
Money, power, and prestige are uncreative; not only uncreative but destructive activities. Beware of them!!- Osho

If you want to become an infinite source of love, then go on sharing love as much as you can. Don’t be a miser; only misers lose energy.- Osho
-
Meditation is perhaps the master key for all our problems.- Osho
-
My work consists to bring you out of your cages — Hindu, Christian, Jew, communist, theist, atheist.- Osho
-
Life is a musical instrument, and awareness is its greatest music.- Osho
-
All beliefs suffocate and all beliefs help you not to be really alive. They deaden your being.- Osho
-
Contentment is a quality of your centre; it is not found on the circumference. Fulfillment is when you have arrived at your real, authentic being.- Osho
-
Just look at life with more playful eyes. Don’t be serious. Seriousness becomes like a blindness. Don’t pretend to be a thinker, a philosopher. Just simply be a human being.- Osho
-
Aloneness is a flower, a lotus blooming in your heart. Aloneness is positive, aloneness is health.- 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
-
There has never been a person like you before, there is nobody else like you right now in the whole world, and there will never be anybody like you.- Osho
-
I want you to be in the very center of existence, of your being. That is the only way to understand this tremendous mystery that surrounds you.- Osho
-
It is only out of totality that one blooms, that the spring comes, and your life starts having color and music and poetry.- Osho
-
A single moment of love is equal to the whole eternity of love.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
You are the temple and the master of the temple. You need not go anywhere. If you need go anywhere it is only inwards, into your own interiority.- Osho
-
We come alone into this world, we go alone.- Osho
-
Respect yourself, love yourself, because there has never been a person like you and there never will be again.- Osho
-
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.- Osho
-
Everything is beautiful if inside your heart there is awareness.- 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
-
Whatsoever you are doing, all doing has to become peripheral and a constant search for truth and a constant thirst for truth have to become your very center.- Osho
-
Just a little detachment from the ego is needed.- Osho
-
Old age is your own creation: it can be a misery, it can be a celebration; it can be simply a despair, and it can also be a dance. It all depends how deeply ready you are to accept existence, whatsoever it brings.- Osho
-
Whenever you create something, you feel enhanced; you reach towards peaks; you get high. All people who are creative are close to religion.- Osho
-
We have to change this world by celebrating, by dancing, by singing, by music, by meditation, by love, not by struggle.- Osho
-
When you really laugh for those few moments you are in a deep meditative state. Thinking stops. It is impossible to laugh and think together.- Osho

My whole love and respect is for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has courage.- Osho
-
As you become more and more sensitive, more and more sensuous, you will see more and more beauty around deeper you’re in side, the greater the beauty.- Osho
-
It is always death that comes before your desires are fulfilled. Even if you live for a thousand years your desires are not going to be fulfilled.- 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
-
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
-
Truth is not found by knowledge, it is found by silence. And knowledge is noisy.- Osho

Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love.- Osho
-
Only silence communicates the truth as it is.- Osho
-
Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love.- Osho

All leadership is misleading, and to guide is to misguide. Buddha was not a guide and Buddha was not a leader.- Osho
-
The mind should be trained to be a servant of the heart. Logic should serve love. And then life can become a festival of lights.- Osho
-
Don’t be serious about seriousness. Laugh about it, be a little foolish. Don’t condemn foolishness; it has its own beauties.- Osho
-
When you awaken in your deepest core of being, in the very center of your existence, then there is only silence, immense joy and celebration.- Osho
-
If you work without love, you are working like a slave. When you work with love, you work like an emperor. Your work is your joy, your work is your dance.- Osho
-
Only idiots are not controversial.- 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
-
You should live in the world but remain untouched by it. You should remain in the world, but the world should not remain in you.- Osho
-
The fundamental thing is to drop the split, to become one. Be one, and then all else is possible; even the impossible is possible.- Osho

When you cheat somebody, you are losing something of your inner being… something which is tremendously valuable.- Osho

The only alternative is to be more conscious, more alert, more alive, more loving — and create a new world with a new man, bring a new dawn to humanity.- Osho
-
Anybody who says that love is a hindrance on the path of self-realization is not a sage.- 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
-
I am the beginning of something new, but not the beginning of a new religion. I am the beginning of a new kind of religiousness- Osho
-
The poison can become medicinal - you have to know how to transform it. And sometimes the nectar can be poisonous - if you dint know how to use it.- Osho
-
When I say that you are Gods and Goddesses I mean that your possibility is infinite, your potentiality is infinite.- Osho
-
Witness is the highest growth of consciousness. There is nothing beyond it. To remain a witness, awake or asleep, is the whole process of meditation.- 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
-
I resolve never to make any resolutions because all resolutions are restrictions for the future. All resolutions are imprisonments.- Osho
-
When there is no desire there is no past, no future. When there is no desire you are utterly contented here now. And to be contented here now is joy.- Osho
-
Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.- Osho
-
I am not a psychoanalyst. I am not here to treat your minds and cure them. I am here to bring you out of your minds - healthy, unhealthy, neurotic, non-neurotic, it doesn't matter. I don't take any note of your mind, what kind of mind you have. Any kind of mind...you have to be taken out of it! So I don't go into the details, I simply start hammering!- Osho

Your daily life is your temple, and your religion. Act in awareness, act consciously, and many things will start changing.- 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

Unless you recognize your original face, you will not be able to reach anywhere. You will not have any meaning to your Life.- 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
-
Don't try to be a guru, don't try to be a helper. because you will disturb; you will create more problems.- Osho
-
Reaction is always unconscious; and response is always conscious.- Osho
-
People love freedom – but nobody wants responsibility. And they come together, they are inseparable.- Osho
-
Be Yourself - and only then can you be responsible and authentic and real. But ordinarily everyone is just secondhand and borrowed, and that makes everything ugly.- Osho

One day you will disappear on a funeral pyre – just into nothingness, as smoke. Don’t get attached to anything.- Osho

My whole life has been devoted to only one single program: how to bring love and meditation together - because only through that meeting a new humanity is possible. And only in the meeting of love and meditation, the duality of man and woman - the inequality of man and woman - disappears.- Osho
-
Be true to yourself, and don't look at what others are saying. This is the only way to reach to the Divine, because it is the only way to be natural.- 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
-
Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.- Osho

Western man is missing the flowering of life because he knows nothing about meditation, and Eastern man is missing because he knows nothing of love.- Osho

Witnessing is the greatest miracle in the world, because it takes you out of the circle of birth and death and gives you wings to fly into the eternal sky.- Osho
-
When Mind knows, We call it Knowledge, When Heart knows, We call it Love, and When Being knows, We call it Meditation.- Osho

The greatest good is to be conscious—because all other goods are born out of it. Being conscious is the source of all goodness, all virtue.- Osho

Don’t analyze, celebrate it.- Osho

Don’t seek, don’t search, don’t ask, don’t knock, don’t demand – relax. If you relax it comes, if you relax it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it.- Osho
-
My people worship, but not in a church. They worship the beauty of existence.- Osho
-
It does not matter if you are a rose or a lotus or a marigold. What matters is that you are flowering.- Osho

Truth is a search, not a faith. It is an inquiry, not a belief. It is a question, a quest.- 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
-
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
-
I teach a new man, a new humanity, a new concept of being in the world.[....] only with the death of the old can the new be born. The cessation of the old is the beginning of the new. My message to humanity is a new man.- Osho

Bliss needs to be shared; it exists only in sharing.- Osho

Whoever may have died right now, each death is your death, because each death is a reminder that you are not going to be here forever.- Osho
-
Man is always exploited through fear.- Osho
-
Truth is to be lived, not understood.- 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

-
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
-
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

Life is our philosophy. Existence is our philosophy. To be in tune with the world, to be in harmony with the cosmos, is our religion.- Osho

Once your intelligence and your innocence are available to you, just like two wings, the whole sky is yours. There are no more boundaries for you.- Osho

Unless you find your spontaneity, unless you find your element, you cannot be happy. And if you cannot be happy, you cannot be meditative.- Osho

A man is successful if he follows his own natural way and lives it as totally and intensely as possible.- Osho

Listen to your own heart; that is the only scripture I prescribe. Yes listen very attentively, very consciously, and you will never be wrong.- Osho

My meditation is not something separate from life, it is something that has to be spread all over life. Your whole life has to be colored by it.- Osho
