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.

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.

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.

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.

I am trying in every possible way to drop all those things, which in the past have been barriers for the revolution to continue and grow. I don't want anybody to stand between the individual and existence. No prayer, no priest -- you alone are enough to face the sunrise. You don't need somebody to interpret for you what a beautiful sunrise it is.
- Osho
Love is just like a breeze: it comes, but you should not close your doors to keep the breeze inside.

These ten non-commandments constitute my basic attitude towards reality, towards man's freedom from all kinds of spiritual slavery.
- 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.

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.

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 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
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.

When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.
- Osho
No thought, no mind, no choice — just being silent, rooted in yourself.
- Osho
All that you need is just to be silent and listen to existence. There is no need of any religion, there is no need of any God, there is no need of any priesthood, there is no need of any organization. I trust in the individual categorically. Nobody up to now has trusted in the individual in such a way. So all those things can be removed. Now all that is left to you is a state of meditation which simply means a state of utter silence. Even the word meditation makes it look heavier. It is better to just call it a simple, innocent silence.
- Osho
Bliss needs to be shared; it exists only in sharing.
- Osho
Love is a wine; you have to taste it, you have to drink it, you have to become drunk with it, only then do you know what it is.

A single moment of love is equal to the whole eternity of love.
- 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
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
Reaction is always unconscious; and response is always conscious.
- Osho

- Osho
The greatest art is to attain a balance between all opposites,a balance betwn all polarities.Imbalance is the disease and balance is health.
- Osho
All ambition is politics, all struggle to be the first is politics. A non-struggling, non conflicting mind is religious.
- Osho
Always remember that to be happy is to be religious; to be happy is to be virtuous; to be celebrating is to be prayerful.
- 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
Accept the wholeness of life; because to me the acceptance of the whole is the only holy experience in the world.
- Osho

- Osho
Just see how much respect God has paid to you. You are a masterpiece – unrepeatable, incomparable, utterly unique.
- 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
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. Only false religion has rules, because false religion is a game.
- Osho
Celebration is my religion, love is my message, and silence is my truth.
- 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
Either you are drowned in the past or you are drowned in the future. That’s why you are not. That’s why you yourself have become a falsehood. You are too concerned with the false, and that concern makes you pseudo. Withdraw yourself from the past and the future.
- Osho
Paradise is within you, in your state of no-mind. And hell is also within you, in your very mind.
- Osho
One need not go anywhere to be blissful. One can sit silently, be alone, and be blissful. Nothing else is needed just the pulsation of life is enough.
- 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
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
When mind knows, we call it knowledge.When heart knows, we call it love. And when being knows, we call it meditation.
- Osho
First be a disciple; don't try to be a master. Mastership will come.

You have to drop all your defenses, only then is intimacy possible. We are all hiding a thousand and one things, not only from others but from ourselves.
- 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
Respect life, revere life. There is nothing more holy than life, nothing more divine than life.
- Osho
If you love yourself, you will be surprised: others will love you. Nobody loves a person who does not love himself.

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.

The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.
- 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.

Go beyond the mind — and the way beyond the mind is very simple — just become a watcher of the mind.
- Osho
Life is a beautiful journey if it is a process of constant learning, exploration. Then it is excitement every moment.
- Osho
A borrowed truth is the greatest lie in the world. Truth can only be true when it is based on your own experience, utterly your own experience.
- 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
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
I say to you: light the lamp of independent thinking. Don’t become a slave to anyone by accepting his thoughts. Truth belongs to those who are their own master.

- Osho
I want every one of my sannyasins to be utterly unique.
- Osho
Perfect people don’t exist. And perfect people, if they existed, would be very boring. It is imperfection that keeps life interesting.
- 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
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
Sadness comes, joy comes, and everything passes by. What remains always is the witness. The witness is beyond all polarities.
- 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 fine our original man, you have found everything that this existence contains—the entire splendor, all the glory, all the ceremony, all the joy.
- Osho
Love is true only when it is spontaneous, unplanned, unpracticed, uncultivated, un-thought.

- Osho
The world of being is the only real world, the world of truth. And unless you have come to it, you on wandering in of rein lands. You can never come home.
- Osho
Destroying something, any idiot can do. Creating needs intelligence.
- Osho
I resolve never to make any resolutions because all resolutions are restrictions for the future. All resolutions are imprisonments.
- 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
Just as water flows downwards towards the ocean, beauty, truth, love — all that is valuable in existence — flows towards a person who is nobody.
- 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
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
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
Don’t go on with borrowed knowledge. Otherwise you will forget that you are ignorant, and you will remain ignorant.
- Osho
I teach meditation, because that is the only way to allow love to happen in your being.
- Osho
Just as on a rosebush roses blossom, on the bush of awareness roses also blossom—roses of goodness roses of beauty, roses of grace.
- Osho
Love lives in waiting – dies in meeting, becomes ordinary.
- Osho
Respect yourself, love yourself, because there has never been a person like you and there never will be again.
- Osho
The only authentic responsibility is towards your own potential. Values have not to be imposed on you. They should grow with your awareness, in you.
- Osho
Enlightenment is nothing but your consciousness being concentrated on a single point — now and here.
- Osho
Freedom is our most precious treasure. Don’t lose it for anything. . . .
- 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
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
Be aware – deep down you are really attached to your negative emotions. They are your ego.
- Osho
Only a love free from attachment brings health and wholeness.
- 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
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
Take life as easily as possible. But people don't understand me. I say to them, Life is a mystery. It is not to be solved but to be lived. And somebody has asked me, Osho, when you said that, I heard, Life is a MISERY, not to be solved but to be lived. That is up to you. To me it is a mystery, not to be solved but to be lived, but you can hear it as misery.
- 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
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
I want to leave you alone, absolutely alone, so that you cannot take anybody's help, so you cannot cling to any prophet, so that you cannot think that Gautam Buddha is going to save you. Left alone ― utterly alone ― you are bound to find your innermost center.
- Osho
Don't choose. Accept life as it is in it's totality.
- Osho
The will to wholeness is inherent in everything, but only in man has it become conscious. Therefore man lives in tension, and only when this longing is fulfilled is his negative state of tension erased.
- 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
Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.
- Osho
My whole teaching is this, accept yourself, love yourself, and celebrate yourself.
- Osho
Truth certainly liberates, but the truth has to be your own. Only then it liberates.
- 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
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
To me, every day is a holiday. If you love whatsoever you are doing, you are never tired of it; it is nourishing, it is energy-giving, it is vitalizing.
- Osho
Love is the goal, life is the journey.
- Osho
Wherever you feel death, feel it. Don’t escape. Death is beautiful; death is the greatest mystery, more mysterious than life.
- 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
Unless you know yourself as eternal beings, part of the whole, you will remain afraid of death.
- Osho
Every human being is a seed of Buddha. Blessed are those seeds which come to their flowering.
- Osho
The moment you are interested in becoming somebody else you become complex. To be content with yourself as you are is simple.
- 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
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
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.
- Osho
Whenever you punish somebody you are punishing yourself. Whenever you torture somebody you are torturing yourself — because there is nobody else.
- 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
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
Only idiots are not controversial.
- Osho

- Osho
Only laughter makes a man rich, but the laughter has to be blissful.
- 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
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
We remain unnecessarily worried. All worries are futile because that which is going to happen is going to happen.
- Osho
Respect life, and life will respect you. Love life and love will shower blessing on you.
- Osho
Resolution is struggle. Resolution is ego. Resolution is saying, I cannot live spontaneously.
- Osho
If whatsoever you have been living can be conveyed by words, that means you have not lived at all.
- Osho
Religion is nothing but a science to attain wisdom, understanding, to know what life is, and to live it in utter celebration.
- Osho
Nobody can say anything about you. Whatsoever people say is about themselves. But you become very shaky, because you are still clinging to a false center. That false center depends on others, so you are always looking to what people are saying about you.
- Osho
A man who lives life in its totality is a rainbow; he lives the whole spectrum of it.
- Osho
Fools are more healthy then the so-called wise. Thy live in the moment and they know that thy are fools, so thy are not worried about what others think about them.
- Osho
It is a strange thing, that every child is born with a closed hand, and every body dies with an open hand.
- Osho
Never ask, Who is my real friend? Ask, Am I a real friend to somebody? That is the right question. Always be concerned with yourself.
- Osho
Truth is to be lived, not understood.
- 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
NOW is the only reality. All else is either memory or imagination.
- Osho
Commit as many mistakes as possible, remembering only one thing: don’t commit the same mistake again. And you will be growing.
- Osho
Don't ask, Don't knock, Don't demand. Just Relax. if you relax, it comes. if you relax, it is there. if you relax, you start vibrating with it.
- Osho
Dance as if this is the last dance. Dance with abandon, holding nothing back. That will bring transformation to your being, and a possibility of transformation for other people too.
- Osho
Unless the truth is your own experience, whatever you believe about truth is only a belief. And all beliefs are lies, and all believers are blind.
- Osho
When you are not rushing anywhere and your inner being is just still, herenow, God reflects. Then all chaos disappears, all questions disappear.
- Osho
To see the beauty of the flower you need silence, not analysis; beauty can never be understood through analysis.
- Osho
Don’t cling to anything. Clinging is the cause of our being unconscious.
- Osho
Be fully, wholly aware of yourself. Because without being totally aware, you will never know the beauty and the splendor of this existence that surrounds you.
- 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
The knowledgeable person lives with a question mark ‘?’ and the man of awe and wonder lives with an exclamation mark.
- Osho

- 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 would like marriage to disappear completely from the world, and with marriage, divorce will disappear.
- Osho
If you cannot love yourself, you don’t know even the taste of love or what love means.
- 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
Your real being only flowers with unconditional love. Ambition is against love. Anything that is against love is against you and your real life.
- Osho
Real love is not an escape from loneliness, real love is an overflowing aloneness. One is so happy in being alone that one would like to share.
- 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
Grace is a by-product of meditation. The more silent you become inside, the more graceful you become on the outside.
- 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
Knowledge is borrowed; knowing is yours, your own. It is authentic, knowledge is information, and knowing is transformation.
- Osho
Drop the idea that attachment and love are one thing. They are enemies. It is attachment that destroys all love.
- Osho
Remember, meditation is not something that is done by the mind, it is the absence of the mind. When the mind stops, meditation happens. It is not something out of the mind, it is something beyond the mind.
- Osho
It cannot be called freedom, a freedom which can choose only the right and not the wrong; then that is not freedom.
- Osho
I’ll never make any resolutions. Drop all resolutions! Let life be a natural spontaneity. The only golden rule is that there are no golden rules.
- Osho
The society is ill; individuals are victims. Society needs therapy; individuals simply need love. The society is the patient and needs hospitalization.
- Osho
These are the only two real emotions and love. If you don’t love, you will be in fear. If you are in fear, you cannot love. If you love, fear is impossible.
- 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
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.
- Osho
The new man will live out of meditation, out of consciousness, out of his own inner light. The new man will be an individual.

- Osho
If a person can go into his sorrow deeply, he will find that all sorrow has evaporated. In that evaporation of sorrow is joy, is bliss.
- Osho
All beliefs suffocate and all beliefs help you not to be really alive. They deaden your being.
- Osho
I don’t believe in nationalism, and I don’t believe in any religion. I believe in the individual and his happiness.
- Osho
Once you know yourself, there is no death. Death was only in your ignorance.
- 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
The ego is just a useful fiction. Use it, but don't be deceived by it.
- 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
Don’t be angry at life. It is not life that is frustrating you, it is you who are not listening to life.
- Osho
Anger transformed becomes compassion. Sex transformed becomes prayer. Greed transformed becomes sharing.
- Osho
Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love.
- 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
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
Love is not a higher quality than truth.
- 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
A real prayer arises out of gratitude, never out of fear and greed. A real prayer arises out of love for truth.
- 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
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
Knowledge is borrowed; knowing is yours, your own. It is authentic knowledge is information, knowing is transformation.
- Osho
The only courage is to live life totally; there is no other courage.
- Osho
Love, sing; dance not as a competitor, but as a man who wants to share his joy, his songs and his dances with his fellow human beings.
- 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
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
Life has no meaning. Rejoice! It has no meaning. Dance, sing, enjoy! It has no meaning. You need not be serious. It is a cosmic joke.
- 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
The person who trusts can relax into existence. The person who cannot trust remains tense, remains anxious, afraid.
- 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 live with alertness, you live rightly. If you live in imitation, you live wrongly. To me there is only one sin: And that is not to be yourself. And to me there is only one virtue: And that is to know yourself.
- Osho
Belief is the opium which all the religions have been giving you in good doses. I am trying to destroy your addiction to the opium. My whole effort is to leave you alone.
- 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
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
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
Without possessions, success, fame; who are you?
- 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 real function of the Master is to give you encouragement. Just by his presence, his blissful life, peaceful life, creates a certain milieu in which you can move easily toward dropping your plannings, projects, and allowing existence to happen.
- Osho
My effort is to make this whole earth a buddhafield.
- Osho
One who thinks in terms of superiority will always remain inferior because these are two aspects of the same coin.

Your politicians, priests, parents, they all are guilt-creators, because that is the only way that you can be controlled and manipulated.
- 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
When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised.
- 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
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
I am crazy, but you are crazier! And that is the only bond between us - I am crazy, you are crazier.
- Osho
Walk Without Feet, Fly Without Wings and Think Without Mind.
- Osho
Millions of people are suffering: they want to be loved but they don’t know how to love. And love cannot exist as a monologue; it is a dialogue, a very harmonious dialogue.
- Osho

- 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
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.

Be – don’t try to become.
- 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
If meditation really happens, whatsoever the cause, compassion has to follow.
- Osho
Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.

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.

The moment you accept youself you become beautiful.
- Osho
Forget about getting, simply give; and I guarantee you, you will get much.

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
Never speak of me in the past tense. My presence here will be many times greater without the burden of my tortured body.

My work consists to bring you out of your cages — Hindu, Christian, Jew, communist, theist, atheist.
- Osho
Every man has the potential to become enlightened. If he does not become, he is responsible — nobody else is responsible for it.
- 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
Once meditation settles and you and you fall into rhythm with existence, compassion is a consequence. Suddenly you feel you are in love with the whole.

- Osho
Love cannot be taught, it can only be caught.
- Osho

When two lovers meet not out of some bondage but out of freedom, there is benediction.
- Osho
My meditation is a method of being aware — of whatever you are doing, thinking, feeling.
- Osho
Truth is subjectivity, it is your innermost core. Only you, and only you, can penetrate it; nobody else can go with you. The path has to be travelled in tremendous aloneness. And a Master knows it — that he is pushing you in a journey where you will be left alone.

- Osho
It does not matter if you are a rose or a lotus or a marigold. What matters is that you are flowering.
- Osho
If you want life, then for life there is no fixed road. Life is here and now, multi-dimensional, spreading in every direction.
- Osho
If you clean the floor with love, you have done an invisible painting. Live each moment in such delight that it gives you something inner.

- Osho
Life is not a problem. To look at it as a problem is to take a wrong step. It is a mystery to be lived, loved, experienced.
- Osho
Always choose the new, the less travelled by. Always choose the unknown, the less travelled by.
- 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.

Something disappears when you become aware, and something appears. Death disappears, deathlessness appears. The ego disappears, egolessness appears.
- Osho
It is very rare to find a person who accepts himself – because the moment he accepts himself, he is reborn.
- Osho
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
- Osho
When one wants to come to oneself no path is needed because one is already there. Just recognition – and the revolution happen! Just a remembrance!

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
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
Celebration is the very nature of existence.
- Osho
Life is precious, and it is a gift from existence. We should not waste it.
- 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
All that you need is just to be silent and listen to existence. There is no need of any religion, there is no need of any God, there is no need of any priesthood, there is no need of any organization.
- Osho
Whenever you act according to your own light, there is immense fulfilment, and deep rejoicing.
- 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
When one is total, life flowers — and that flowering is spirituality. Spirituality is not an attitude, it is not a discipline. It is an outcome of a life lived totally, joyfully, delightfully; of a life of no complaint; of a life lived courageously, intensely. Then this flowering happens.
- Osho
The only thing that matters in life, is your own opinion about yourself.
- Osho
Your whole idea about yourself is borrowed–borrowed from those who have no idea of who they are themselves.

Meditation will give you a little glimpse, a little taste, that the truth is inside you.
- Osho
If you are clear and clean in the mind, you will be able to find solutions for every problem that arises in your life.
- Osho
It is not a question of money, power, and prestige; it is a question of what intrinsically you want to do. Do it, irrespective of the results, and your boredom will disappear.
- 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
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
When I say that you are Gods and Goddesses I mean that your possibility is infinite, your potentiality is infinite.
- Osho
God is without purpose. The sky exists without purpose. Flowers bloom without purpose and stars shine without purpose. What happens to poor man that he cannot live without purpose?
- Osho
The moment you accept yourself, you become beautiful.
- Osho
Respect your life. Out of that respect, you will start respecting life in others.
- Osho
A witness is not a judge. A witness is only a mirror. It shows u clearly the situation, and it gives u a spontaneous response.
- 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
To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.

Love in its purest form is a sharing of joy. It asks nothing in return, it expects nothing. Love is a spiritual phenomenon; lust is physical. Ego is psychological; love is spiritual.
