It is the same energy dancing in different forms. We in the East have called it 'leela'. Leela means god's play.- 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

There is no other miracle in the world than meditation. It is the only science of transforming you into a new man. Into a superman. The superman is needed very much, urgently, because only the superman can prevent this beautiful planet from being destroyed by pygmy politicians, by ugly religions. All these vested interests are going to destroy the most beautiful planet in the universe. You can do only one thing to save it, and that is to become a Buddha and spread your Buddhahood - share it.- 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

Meditation is only a methodology to make you aware that your only disease is your ego, and your only health is agelessness.- 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

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

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
-
Consciousness is never judgmental. Consciousness is only a mirror.- Osho
-
I have a deep reverence for everything that is alive, a reverence for life itself.- 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
-
Don’t allow the fear to overpower you, allow love to overpower you. Love comes from the centre, fear always comes from the periphery.- 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
-
It is imperfect, and that’s why it is growing; if it was perfect it would have been dead. Growth is possible only if there is imperfection.- Osho
-
Rare is the person who transforms his life into a growth, who transforms his life into a long journey of self-actualization, who becomes what he was meant to be. In the East we have called that man the buddha.- Osho
-
Anger transformed becomes compassion. Sex transformed becomes prayer. Greed transformed becomes sharing.- 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
-
Knowledge is borrowed; knowing is yours, your own. It is authentic knowledge is information, knowing is transformation.- Osho
-
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.- 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

Desire disappears as you become more and more aware. When awareness is one hundred percent, there is no desire at all.- 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
-
Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.- 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
-
Love lives in waiting – dies in meeting, becomes ordinary.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
Don’t postpone anything beautiful for tomorrow. Live intensely, live totally, here and now.- Osho

Ego is the greatest bondage, the only hell that I know of.- Osho

The person who can be happy alone is really an individual. If your happiness depends on the other, you are a slave; you are not yet free, you are in bondage.- Osho

If you can really see a beautiful rose of a beautiful sunset with your totality there is no need of any other discipline to become a Buddha.- Osho
-
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. It is not that I am giving you some dogma to be believed in, some philosophy to be lived by, no, not at all. I am utterly destructive, I am taking everything away from you.- Osho
-
Conditional love is nothing but an infatuation, sexuality. Unconditional is the only way love can be.- 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

It cannot be called freedom, a freedom which can choose only the right and not the wrong; then that is not freedom.- 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 is in understanding your innermost being. Because only then can you become a constantly overflowing source of beauty, love and joy.- Osho
-
Whenever there is no conflict between you and the whole, not even a rumor of conflict, you are healthy. To be whole is to be healthy.- 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
-
Celebration is the very nature of existence.- Osho
-
The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.- Osho

Possessiveness destroys love. And they should not be possessed, because that again destroys your love.- Osho

Sannyas is only a declaration. The work is meditation. In one single word, my religion is complete, and that is meditation.- Osho
-
When you are Yourself, There is Truth, there is Beauty, There is Grace, there is Ecstasy.- Osho

I don’t believe in nationalism, and I don’t believe in any religion. I believe in the individual and his happiness.- Osho

Thinking is a very low activity; it is of the mind. Meditation is the highest within you; it is beyond mind.- Osho
-
Make laughter your prayer. Laugh more. Nothing releases your blocked energies as doe’s laughter. Nothing makes you innocent as doe’s laughter.- Osho
-
Don´t be unnecessarily burdened by the past. Go on closing the chapters that you have read; there is no need to go back again and again.- Osho
-
A comfortable, convenient life is not a real life – the more comfortable, the less alive. The most comfortable life is in the grave.- Osho
-
We have to make laughter, rejoicing, dancing, singing, part of a healthy being – just overflowing well-being.- 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
-
When you become an absolute pool of silence, an aura of grace arises around you and follows you like your shadow; that is the shadow of your soul.- 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

Freedom is our most precious treasure. Don’t lose it for anything. . . .- Osho

Humanity will never be religious unless all organized religions disappear and religion becomes an individual commitment towards existence.- Osho
-
If a person remains blissful in ordinary day-to-day life, doing small things but blissfully, then prayer is spread all over his life.- 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
-
To discover your being is the beginning of life. Then each moment is a mew discovery, each moment brings a new joy; a new mystery opens its doors.- 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
-
You are right now at the very source, and you have never left it for a single moment. Just recognize it, just open your eyes and see it!- 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
-
Every human being is a seed of Buddha. Blessed are those seeds which come to their flowering.- Osho
-
Dancing is not just a movement. When a movement becomes ecstatic then it is dance. When the movement is so total that there is no ego, then it is a dance.- Osho
-
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.- 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
-
Is the celebrator celebrating! Already there is too much – the flowers have bloomed, the birds are singing, the sun is there in the sky – celebrate it!- Osho
-
I am here to seduce you into a love of life; to help you to become a little more poetic; to help you die to the mundane and to the ordinary so that the extraordinary explodes in your life.- Osho
-
Love makes you feel welcome in the world. Love makes you a part of existence; it destroys alienation. Then you are no mere an outsider here, but utterly needed.- Osho
-
Life is absolutely balanced between the positive and the negative. Now it is your choice which side you want to be – in heaven or in hell.- Osho

Truth is not somewhere in the future. It is not goal but the source. You are coming from truth. Of you can find the source again you will know what truth in.- Osho

-
Walk Without Feet, Fly Without Wings and Think Without Mind.- Osho

My function here is to destroy all hypocrisy in you.- Osho
-
Mind is the illusion that which is not but appears, and appears so much that you think that you are the mind.- Osho
-
We come alone into this world, we go alone.- 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
-
The greatest fear in the world is the opinion of others, and the moment you are unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.- 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
-
Without possessions, success, fame; who are you?- Osho
-
If you suffer it is because of you, if you feel blissful it is because of you. Nobody else is responsible – only you and you alone. You are your hell and your heaven too.- Osho
-
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. The only false religion has rules because false religion is a game.- Osho
-
I am here; be nourished by me. Eat me, drink me; be nourished by me. Let me become a part of your being, then I will be available forever and forever. There is no other way.- 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
-
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
-
Your marriage is a subtle politics of domination. Your fatherhood, motherhood, is a subtle politics.- Osho
-
Love is life, love is god, love is sannyas.- 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

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
-
Instead of pleasing, learn the art of happiness.- Osho
-
My effort is to make this whole earth a buddhafield.- Osho

If you really want peace on earth, create peace in your heart, in your being. That is the right place to begin with and then spread.- Osho

-
Happiness is available to everybody —whosoever opens his heart, happiness is always available.- Osho
-
Once you know yourself, there is no death. Death was only in your ignorance.- Osho
-
Remember it is a very fundamental law. You may not get something that you want, but you always get that which you need. Somehow the universe goes on fulfilling your needs; you may understand, you may not understand.- Osho
-
Be ordinary, but bring a quality of awareness to your ordinary life. Bring God to your ordinary life introduce God into your ordinary life. Sleep, eat, love, pray, meditate, but don’t think that you are making or doing something special—and then you will be special.- 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
-
I am not anti-life as other religions are. I am absolutely for life, and life in its essence means love.- 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
-
Don't make me wholly responsible for your silence, because that will create a difficulty for you. Alone, what are you going to do? Then it becomes a kind of addiction, and I don't want you to be addicted to me. I don't want to be a drug to you.- Osho
-
When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.- 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
-
That’s why I called even enlightenment the last game. The sooner you drop it, the better. Why not just simply be? Why unnecessarily hurry here and there? You are what existence wants you to be. Just relax.- Osho
-
I resolve never to make any resolutions because all resolutions are restrictions for the future. All resolutions are imprisonments.- Osho
-
Respect life, and life will respect you. Love life and love will shower blessing on you.- Osho
-
Real love makes you more of an individual. It does not efface your individuality, it gives you individuality. Real love is very respectful.- 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
-
If you enter heaven because other forced you to act according to certain precepts, certain commandments, you will regret even in heaven.- 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

I am crazy, but you are crazier! And that is the only bond between us - I am crazy, you are crazier.- Osho
-
Remember one thing: that you should not leave this earth unless you have made it a little more beautiful, a little lovelier, a little more loving.- Osho
-
To live a life of truth, ever if it is for a single moment, is far more valuable than to live eternally in lies.- Osho
-
To be responsible is to be free. To give the responsibility to somebody else is to be a prisoner.- Osho
-
To be a happy person, one has to drop all comparison. Drop all these stupid ideas of being superior and inferior. You are neither superior nor inferior. You are simply yourself! There exists no one like you, no one with whom you can be compared. Then, suddenly, you are at home.- Osho
-
Love is ultimate, the highest health, because love makes one whole. When you love a master by and by you completely forgot about love.- Osho
-
Nobody else is responsible - only you and you alone. If you suffer it is because of you, if you feel blissful it is because of you. You are your hell and your heaven too.- Osho
-
Do meditation without thinking of any result, enjoy meditating as an end in itself. And then some day the light explodes, the ego disappears.- Osho
-
Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.- Osho
-
Die each moment so that you are renewed each moment.- Osho
-
Absence of consciousness is ego. Whenever the ego is absent, Love is present.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
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 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
-
I would like marriage to disappear completely from the world, and with marriage, divorce will disappear.- Osho
-
People say love is blind because they do not know what love is. I say unto you, only love has eyes; other than love, everything is blind.- Osho
-
That is my whole teaching: just to be natural. Nature is Dharma, nature is Tao, and nature is Zen. And the moment you are natural, flowers will shower over you.- 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
-
Being playful is one of the great secrets of inner transformation. Learn to be playful. If all seriousness disappears from your life, you are religious.- 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
-
If love is not conscious it remains lust, and lust can never have anything of prayer in it. Lust is unconscious, love is conscious.- Osho
-
Don’t be bothered by perfection. Replace the word ‘Perfection’ by ‘Totality'. Totality will give you a different dimension.- 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
-
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
-
Meditation is something natural, something that is already hidden inside you and is trying to find its way to reach to the open sky, to the sun, to the air.- Osho
-
The moment you become innocent, you have found a direct line to the divine. Your heartbeat synchronizes with the heartbeat of the universe.- Osho

A real emperor is one who lives in himself; he has a center of his own, he does not depend on anybody else.- Osho
-
Be like an alone peak high in the sky. Why should you hanker to belong? You are not a thing! Things belong!- 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
-
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
-
Don't choose. Accept life as it is in it's totality.- Osho
-
To fight with the mind is to give it reality, to recognize its power. There is no need to fight. One has just to be a witness. Without any fight, just being a witness, mind disappears.- 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
-
If you are sad you are wrong; if you are joyful you are right.- Osho
-
I am not a teacher, and this is not a place where knowledge is important. I am just a presence to inspire in you that which is dormant, to allow you to recognize yourself.- 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
-
Nobody should in any way interfere in anybody else’s life.- Osho
-
Mind always creates duality.- Osho
-

-
Drop comparing and life is really beautiful. Drop comparing and you can enjoy life to the full.- Osho
-
Prayer is gratitude. Prayer is thankfulness.- 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
-
Watch, witness. Your body is not you; your mind is not you. You are just a pure witness.- Osho
-
Be ordinary. Nothing is wrong with ordinariness, because in your very ordinariness you are extraordinary.- Osho
-
Love has to be discovered — it is already there. And how to discover it? The more you are, the less is the possibility to discover love; the less you are, the more is the possibility to discover it. When the river disappears into the ocean, it discovers the ocean — it becomes the ocean.- Osho
-
Take it easy, and remember Easy is Right.- Osho
-
Relationship is the need of those who cannot be alone. Two alone persons relate, communicate, commune, and yet they remain alone.- Osho
-
There is only one thing that can make you an emperor and that is your own being. Just find it.- Osho
-
We are not interested in going to paradise; We are interested in making the paradise come here.- Osho

Each individual has to create his own consciousness and conscience—only then will we be able to create a better world.- Osho
-
Any religion, any ideology, that is based only on belief, or faith, is bound to cripple your intelligence.- Osho

The only revolution possible is through taking the whole responsibility on yourself: I am the cause of my suffering. Hence I can be the cause of my bliss.- Osho

If you are really in love, you are no more the same as your were before. Something has love. You are no more the same as you were before. Something has disappeared; you are reborn. Love is a rebirth.- 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
-
Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.- 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 a state of being; it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not in love, one is in love.- Osho

The only courage is to live life totally; there is no other courage.- Osho
-
A happy person needs no temple, no church--because for a happy person the whole universe is a temple, the whole existence is a church.- Osho
-
Misery is symbolic of unawareness ; Bliss is symbolic of awareness.- Osho
-
Love happens when you are ready to share with another human being. Prayer happens when you are ready to share with God.- Osho
-
you can drop your miseries only when some inner meaning starts flowering in you. Miseries can be dropped only when meditation starts blooming in you.- Osho
