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.

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 are a parent you will need this much courage-not to interfere. Open doors of unknown directions to the child so he can explore. Don’t make him afraid of the unknown, give him support.
- Osho
Avoid rationalizing your own errors and mistakes. Because if you rationalize, you protect them. Then they will be repeated.
- 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
Be silent and you will understand not only about Zen, you will understand the very essence of existence itself.
- Osho
Life is very precious and the greatest treasure is hidden in it – and that treasure is of becoming a witness.

- Osho
Do not seek a guru, because gurus are crippling. Anyone who gives you ready-made formulas is not a friend but an enemy.
- Osho
Love happens when you are ready to share with another human being. Prayer happens when you are ready to share with God.
- Osho
Truth can whisper its mysteries into your ears only when you are absolutely empty – emptiness is its mysteries into your ears only when you are absolutely empty – emptiness is purity.
- Osho
If you want to learn anything, learn trust – nothing else is needed. If you are miserable, nothing else will help – learn trust. If you don’t feel any meaning in life and you feel meaningless, nothing will help – learn trust. Trust gives meaning because trust makes you capable of allowing the whole descend upon you.
- Osho
The moment you see that whatsoever you are in your own creation, you are freed from all outer causes and circumstances.
- Osho
A man becomes a Buddha the moment he accepts all that life brings with gratitude. He is on the Way, he is on Tao; and he IS becoming meditative.

Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. The only false religion has rules because false religion is a game.
- Osho
Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. . . . Easy is right means natural is right, effortlessness is right, egolessness is right.
- Osho
All leadership is misleading, and to guide is to misguide. Buddha was not a guide and Buddha was not a leader.
- Osho
Something disappears when you become aware, and something appears. Death disappears, deathlessness appears. The ego disappears, egolessness appears.
- Osho
Every man has the potential to become enlightened. If he does not become, he is responsible — nobody else is responsible for it.
- Osho
Celebration is my attitude, unconditional to what life brings.
- Osho
Whatever you feel, you become. It is your responsibility.

Only the individual can rise to the heights of consciousness and awareness. The more you belong to the crowd, the deeper you fall into darkness.
- 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.

Find the light and it will show you the path. The path that is shown by your own light is the only path that is right.
- Osho
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.
- Osho
What is discipline? Discipline means creating an order within you. As you are, you are a chaos.
- Osho
Find godliness and good will come on its own accord. And when good comes on its own accord, it has a beauty, a grace, a simplicity, a humbleness.
- 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
Only laughter makes a man rich, but the laughter has to be blissful.
- Osho
In the death of the ego love is born, divine is born, light is born, in the death of the ego you are transformed, all misery disappears.
- 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
The world is a garland of millions of flowers, but running through all those flowers is a thread that keeps it together: that thread is love.

You are too much identified with the false, the personality.
- Osho
Love is not a higher quality than truth.
- 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
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
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
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
The only thing that matters in life, is your own opinion about yourself.
- 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
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
Your daily life is your temple, and your religion. Act in awareness, act consciously, and many things will start changing.
- 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 sannyasin knows what it means to be an emperor, because he simply gives; he enjoys giving, he loves sharing. And the miracle of life is: the more you give the more you have.
- Osho
Don't try to understand life, Live it! Don't try to understand love, Move into love. Then you will know.
- Osho
To love means to drop the ego, to drop yourself. Love means not to BE.
- Osho
A truth cannot be read in a scripture, a truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.
- Osho
Misery arises only when you try the impossible, because it can’t happen in the nature of things and you want it to happen.
- Osho
The person who trusts can relax into existence. The person who cannot trust remains tense, remains anxious, afraid.
- Osho
Nobody is responsible except you. Nobody can make you angry, and nobody can make you happy.
- Osho
My function here is to destroy all hypocrisy in you.
- Osho
You will come closer and closer to perfection, but you will never be perfect. Perfection is not the way of existence. Growth is the way.
- Osho
Through meditation ultimately one finds the being. And the moment you have found the being there is nothing more to be found – you have come home.
- Osho
Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.
- 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
This has been said again and again, down through the ages. All the religious people have been saying this; 'We come alone into this world, we go alone.' All togetherness is illusory.
- 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
Destroying something, any idiot can do. Creating needs intelligence.
- Osho
Life is not a means to some end somewhere in the future. Life is its own end, it’s own means. Life is all.
- Osho
Discover yourself, otherwise you have to depend on other people’s opinions who don’t know themselves.
- Osho
In my vision, the thing that man needs first and foremost is a meditative consciousness.
- 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
A New Man who will not hate life, as in the past it has done; a new man who will love life; a new man who will not be negative in any way, but will be affirmative; a new man who will not desire life after death, but will live moment to moment in sheer joy—who will think of this life as a gift and not as a punishment; who will not be antagonistic to the body, who will respect the body as the temple of the soul; who will love, and who will not be afraid of love; who will move in all kinds of relationships and yet be able to remain himself.
- Osho
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.
- Osho
Don’t be serious about seriousness. Laugh about it, be a little foolish. Don’t condemn foolishness; it has its own beauties.
- Osho
Only by knowing oneself does one become capable of knowing the ultimate, because at the very core of your being the ultimate is present.
- Osho
The lover is an emperor; the creator is an emperor – without invading the whole world. He has invaded the whole universe out of sheer loving creativity.
- Osho
Don't choose. Accept life as it is in it's totality.
- Osho
Respect life, and life will respect you. Love life and love will shower blessing on you.
- Osho
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 happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something.
- Osho
Mind, and mind’s hold on you, is the imprisonment. Get rid of the mind.
- Osho
Individuality is the very flowering of existence — nothing is higher than it.
- Osho
Love is true only when it does not interfere in the privacy of the other person. It respects his individuality, his privacy.
- Osho
You need either to create something or to discover something. Either bring your potential to actuality or go inwards to find yourself, but do something with your freedom.
- Osho
Love can never possess. Love is giving freedom to the other. Love is an unconditional gift, it is not a bargain.
- Osho
If you love yourself, you will be surprised: others will love you. Nobody loves a person who does not love himself.
- Osho
Start enjoying that which you are, and then this very ordinary life suddenly becomes extraordinary. Then these ordinary days have such tremendous poetry.
- 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
You don’t have any problems. Only this much has to be understood. This very moment you can drop all problems because they are your creations.
- Osho
Unless you love yourself, you can’t love anybody. Be selfish.
- Osho
Never belong to a crowd; never belong to a nation; never belong to a religion; never belong to a race. Belong to the whole existence.
- 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
My effort is to make this whole earth a buddhafield.
- 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
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
Love is a state of being; it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not in love, one is in love.
- Osho
To be choiceless is to be in meditation. To be choiceless is to enter the eternal.
- Osho
The being is not a static thing waiting to be discovered by you. The being has to be created moment to moment. That is the only way to discover it.
- Osho
When two lovers meet not out of some bondage but out of freedom, there is benediction.
- Osho
To me, this is the only strength, the only power – that we can transform life, we can transform consciousness.
- Osho
Renunciation follows awareness like a shadow.
- Osho
There is no greater ecstasy than to know who you are.
- Osho
Freedom is a ladder: one side of the ladder reaches hell, the other side touches heaven. It is the same ladder; the choice is yours.
- Osho
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
Don’t be a slave. Follow society to the point you feel is needed, but always remain master of your own destiny.
- Osho
Love and freedom are two sides of the coin. It is one flower. And it can blossom only when both are allowed dignity and respect.
- 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
Find ecstasy within yourself. It is not out there. It is in your innermost flowering. The one you are looking for is you.
- Osho
Happiness is not a result. It is a way of life. Happiness is not the end result of desire. It is an attitude, not a desire.
- Osho
Meditation has happen first, then character comes as a shadow to it. And if meditation does not happen, then your character is just a hypocrisy.
- Osho
A truth cannot be read in a scripture, a truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.
- Osho
The ultimate state of love is freedom, absolute freedom, and any relationship that destroys freedom is not worthwhile.
- Osho
Truth is to be lived, not understood.
- Osho
My function is very different from the function of Gautam Buddha. His function is only a small part of my philosophy. I want individuals to become enlightened, but I want also the whole of humanity to rise with the enlightened people. They may not become enlightened, but at least become conscious enough so that nations disappear, religions disappear, races disappear, and we can live as one humanity, as one earth.
- Osho
Life is freedom. It does not impose any meaning on you; it simply gives you an opportunity to create your own meaning. The meaning has to be created.
- 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
The real honesty is a responsibility to the present moment. It needs tremendous awareness. You have to be honest to the present moment, not to the past, not to the future.
- Osho
One day you will disappear on a funeral pyre – just into nothingness, as smoke. Don’t get attached to anything.
- 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
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.
- 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
If meditation really happens, whatsoever the cause, compassion has to follow.
- Osho
We remain unnecessarily worried. All worries are futile because that which is going to happen is going to happen.
- Osho
Life is a beautiful journey if it is a process of constant learning, exploration. Then it is excitement every moment.
- Osho
Go beyond the mind — and the way beyond the mind is very simple — just become a watcher of the mind.
- Osho
Religion has nothing to do with churches and temples and rituals: religion is born only when somebody pulsates with love.
- 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
I have a deep reverence for everything that is alive, a reverence for life itself.
- 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
There is no other miracle in the world than meditation. It is the only science of transforming you into a new man.
- Osho
Ego is the greatest bondage, the only hell that I know of.
- Osho
The freedom from something is not true freedom. The freedom to do anything you want to do is also not the freedom I am talking about. My vision of freedom is to be yourself.
- Osho
Don’t move the way fear makes you move. Move the way love makes you move. Move the way joy makes you move.
- 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
Drop the idea that attachment and love are one thing. They are enemies. It is attachment that destroys all love.
- Osho
Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love.
- Osho
God happens only when you have moved out of the way and left yourself totally empty, spacious. It is a very strange phenomenon: The guest only comes inside the house when the host disappears.
- Osho
When Mind knows, We call it Knowledge, When Heart knows, We call it Love, and When Being knows, We call it Meditation.
- 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
Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated.
- 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
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
When you are Yourself, There is Truth, there is Beauty, There is Grace, there is Ecstasy.
- Osho
Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.

Hate can very easily turn into love, just as love can turn into hate. They are two sides of the same coin.
- Osho
As you come to the center of your being you have found your original face. Your original face is the Buddha.
- Osho
We are not interested in going to paradise; We are interested in making the paradise come here.
- Osho
The whole of life has to be your Temple; Work has to be your worship, Love has to be your prayer. This very body the Buddha, This very earth the Lotus Paradise.
- Osho
A woman is to be loved, not understood.
- Osho
Love cannot be taught, it can only be caught.
- 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.

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
Without possessions, success, fame; who are you?
- Osho
Meditation need a very relaxed mind--with no hurry, with no worry, with nowhere to go--just enjoying moment to moment, whatever comes.
- 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
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
he person who enjoys his life has no desire to possess, because he knows the real things of life which are worth enjoying cannot be purchased.
- 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
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
If your heart says to take the jump, then take the jump, then risk, then be adventurous.
- 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
Only silence communicates the truth as it is.
- Osho
Humanity will never be religious unless all organized religions disappear and religion becomes an individual commitment towards existence.
- Osho
It is beautiful to be alone, it is also beautiful to be in love, to be with people. And they are complementary, not contradictory.
- Osho
Happiness is an art that one has to learn. It has nothing to do with your doing or not doing.
- 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
To bring the beyond is creativity. To bring the beyond into the known is creativity. To help divine to be manifested in some form is creativity.
- 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
This I call true religion – playfulness, lovingness, cheerfulness.
- Osho
Intelligence is a natural phenomenon, every child is born intelligent.
- Osho
Always off with the river of life. Never try to go against the current, and never try to go faster than the river. Just move in absolute relaxation.
- 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
When you are not rushing anywhere and your inner being is just still, herenow, God reflects. Then all chaos disappears, all questions disappear.
- 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
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
My whole effort is to liberate you from all that binds you. Only when you are liberated from all bindings will you have a tremendous beauty, a splendor.
- Osho
When you live at the optimum, then you know what life is. And then you know the celebration of it and the benediction of it.
- 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
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
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
It is a strange thing, that every child is born with a closed hand, and every body dies with an open hand.
- Osho
Nobody is here to fulfill your dream. Everybody is here to fulfill his own destiny, his own reality.
- Osho
All beliefs suffocate and all beliefs help you not to be really alive. They deaden your being.
- 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
Prayer is meaningless if it is not out of alertness. And a man of alertness need not have any prayer – alertness is enough unto itself.
- 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
Accept yourself as you are. And that is the most difficult thing in the world, because it goes against your training, education, your culture.
- Osho
I want every one of my sannyasins to be utterly unique.
- Osho
When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.
- Osho
If you live with love, through love, you will live a great life, because love makes everything great.
- Osho
My definition of meditation is that it is simply an effort to jump into the unconscious.
- Osho
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.
- Osho
Don’t expect, and there will be no frustration. Frustration is just a shadow which follows expectation.
- Osho
You are simply a witness, no judgment, no evaluation, but a pure silent witnessing like a mirror.
- Osho
Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.
- Osho
Love needs two things: it has to be rooted in freedom and it has to know the art of trust.
- Osho
Intelligence never grows by imitation: Intelligence grows by experimentation. Intelligence grows by taking challenges.
- Osho
Religion is the greatest creativity because it is an effort to give birth to yourself, to become a father and mother to yourself, to be born again.
- 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
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
Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence
- Osho
Dropping the mask and bringing out your original face is the whole alchemy of meditation.
- Osho
The Zen saying is: Whenever such belly laughter happens – laughter like Bodhidharma’s – white lotuses start showering from the sky, from nowhere.
- Osho
Man is always exploited through fear.
- Osho
Why limit yourself to small things! When the whole is available, only stupid people will cling to small things. Be oceanic!
- Osho
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. Only false religion has rules, because false religion is a game.
- 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
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
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
Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.
- 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
The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.
- 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
All ambition is politics, all struggle to be the first is politics. A non-struggling, non conflicting mind is religious.
- Osho
Mind: A beautiful servant, a dangerous master.
- Osho
Life begins where fear ends.
- Osho
Nobody else can destroy you except you; nobody else can save you except you. You are the Judas and you are the Jesus.

Thinking is a very low activity; it is of the mind. Meditation is the highest within you; it is beyond mind.
- Osho
You can become happy just by deciding to be happy.
- Osho
Never sacrifice your life for anything! Sacrifice everything for life! Life is the ultimate goal.
- Osho
Continuously clean your mind of beliefs, concepts, theories, ideas, ideologies, philosophies, doctrines, scriptures… Then the reality will be revealed to you.
- Osho
My whole teaching is this, accept yourself, love yourself, and celebrate yourself.
- Osho
Hell is our creation, and we create hell by trying to do the impossible. Heaven is our nature, it is our spontaneity. It is where we always are.
- Osho
Truth can only arise within you. Nobody else gives it to you and with truth comes beauty, followed by good.
- Osho
You have to relax, you have to stop judging.
- 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
Meditation is perhaps the master key for all our problems.
- 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
Love and respect yourself and never compromise for anything. And then you will be surprised how much growth starts happening of its own accord.. as if rocks have been removed and the river has started flowing.
- Osho
Respect life, revere life. There is nothing more holy than life, nothing more divine than life.
- Osho
Knowledge is borrowed; knowing is yours, your own. It is authentic, knowledge is information, and knowing is transformation.
- Osho
I am not going to give you a destination. I can only give you a direction - awake, throbbing with life, unknown, always surprising, unpredictable. I'm not going to give you a map. I can give you only a great passion to discover. Yes, a map is not needed; great passion, great desire to discover is needed. Then I leave you alone. Then you go on your own. Move into the vast, into the infinite, and by and by, learn to trust it. Leave yourself in the hands of life.
- Osho
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
Love lives in waiting – dies in meeting, becomes ordinary.
- Osho
If jealousy disappears and love still remains, then you have something solid in your life which is worth having.
- Osho
Awareness is the remedy for all ills, because awareness makes you healthy, whole, and of course holy.
- 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
A truth cannot be read in scripture. truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.
- Osho
Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.
- Osho
The ego is just a useful fiction. Use it, but don't be deceived by it.
- 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
Misery is symbolic of unawareness ; Bliss is symbolic of awareness.
- Osho
Always choose the new, the less travelled by. Always choose the unknown, the less travelled by.
- 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
Trust is the bridge between you and existence. Trust is the purest form of love, and once trust is lost, love also becomes impossible.
- Osho
To see the beauty of the flower you need silence, not analysis; beauty can never be understood through analysis.
- Osho
We come alone into this world, we go alone.
- Osho
Meditation cannot be a fragmented thing, it should be a continuous effort. Every moment one has to be alert, aware and meditative.
- 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
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.
- Osho
This is the authentic trinity of a truly religious man: truth, beauty, and good. These three experiences happen when u enters into your own subjectivity.
- Osho
Once you have tasted the juice of the present, you don’t care about dangers. Once you are in tune with life then nothing matter. Life all there is.
- 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
I am crazy, but you are crazier! And that is the only bond between us - I am crazy, you are crazier.
- Osho
I don’t want you to worship Buddha’s; I want you to become Buddha’s. That is the only right worship. If you love become it.
- Osho
Once I was on a journey and someone asked me which word in a man’s vocabulary was the most valuable. My reply was, Love.
- 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
Celebration is the very nature of existence.
- Osho
To create guilt, all that you need is a very simple thing: start calling mistakes, errors sins. They are simply mistakes, human.
- Osho
A man who loves himself takes the first step towards real love.
- 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
Listening is a rare art, one of the last arts. Listening means not only hearing with the ears but hearing from the heart, in utter silence.
- Osho
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.
- Osho
Unless you know yourself as eternal beings, part of the whole, you will remain afraid of death.
- Osho
Life is for those who know how to celebrate.
- Osho
Watch, witness. Your body is not you; your mind is not you. You are just a pure witness.
- 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.
- Osho
Wherever you feel death, feel it. Don’t escape. Death is beautiful; death is the greatest mystery, more mysterious than life.
- Osho
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.
- 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
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
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
I'm not giving you another dream, remember. You hanker for it, you would like me to give you another dream, but I am not going to give you another dream. That's why to be with me is difficult and arduous - because I am insisting that you wake up. Enough is enough. You have dreamed a lot; since eternity you have been dreaming. You have just been changing dreams. When you get fed up with one dream, you start changing it; you dream another dream. My whole effort is to shake you, to shock you - to wake you.
- Osho
When I say that you are Gods and Goddesses I mean that your possibility is infinite, your potentiality is infinite.
- Osho
I am not anti-life as other religions are. I am absolutely for life, and life in its essence means love.
- 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
A religious person is a desireless person.
- Osho
Love equalizes people. You give because you love, you give because you respect. You give and allow the man to feel, to be honored, that is true giving.
- 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
Loneliness is sad, aloneness is blissful.
- 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 authentic responsibility is towards your own potential. Values have not to be imposed on you. They should grow with your awareness, in you.
- 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
Each moment is an end unto itself. Enjoy It., die into it, disappear into it, and then something miraculous happens: great eternal life descends in you.
- Osho
A real prayer arises out of gratitude, never out of fear and greed. A real prayer arises out of love for truth.
- Osho
Your marriage is a subtle politics of domination. Your fatherhood, motherhood, is a subtle politics.
- Osho
Never belong to a crowd; Never belong to a nation; Never belong to a religion; Never belong to a race. Belong to the whole existence. Why limit yourself to small things? When the whole is available.
- Osho
We are bringing a new approach in religion. You do not go away from the world, but rather go deeper into it and change it. This is more courageous.
- Osho
I don’t give u any discipline, any morality. I simple give u a clarity of vision. Out of that clarity whatsoever comes is good, is divine, and is moral.
- Osho
Accept yourself as you are. And that is the most difficult thing in the world, because it goes against your training, your education, your culture. From the very beginning you have been told how you should be. Nobody has ever told you that you are good as you are.
- 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
All conditionings are based on belief. And my whole effort is that experience should be the only criterion not belief.
- 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
Do not imitate anyone, do not follow anyone, otherwise you will be just a pseudo existence - and that is worse than suicide.
- Osho
Meditation will give you a little glimpse, a little taste, that the truth is inside you.
- Osho
Man has to create himself. He is not ready- made, he is no given. And the creation has to be a self- creation – nobody else can make you.
- Osho
Don’t be bothered by perfection. Replace the word ‘Perfection’ by ‘Totality'. Totality will give you a different dimension.
- Osho
When mind knows, we call it knowledge.When heart knows, we call it love. And when being knows, we call it meditation.
- 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
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
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 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
It cannot be called freedom, a freedom which can choose only the right and not the wrong; then that is not freedom.
- Osho
Intellect and meditation meeting together, growing together, give you the wholeness of being.
- Osho
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance. Buddha has defined compassion as love plus meditation.
- Osho
Even if they can find a lover they demand perfection, and the love is destroyed because of that demand.
- Osho
My work consists to bring you out of your cages — Hindu, Christian, Jew, communist, theist, atheist.
- Osho
An intelligent person is not afraid, is not greedy. Greed and fear go together – then is why heaven and hell go together: hell is fear, heaven is greed.
- Osho
It does not matter if you are a rose or a lotus or a marigold. What matters is that you are flowering.
- 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
The only courage is to live life totally; there is no other courage.
- 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
Love brings freedom. Loyalty brings slavery.
- Osho
To choose is to choose a prison; to choose is to choose a bondage. To choose is wrong, to be choiceless is to be right.
- 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
Don’t say this is good and that is bad. Drop all discrimination. Accept everything as it is.
- Osho
Don’t try to understand life. Live it! Don’t try to understand love. Move into love. Then you will know and that knowing will come out of your experiencing.
- 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
Love is just like a breeze: it comes, but you should not close your doors to keep the breeze inside.
- Osho
Humanity will never be religious unless all organized religions disappear and religion becomes an individual commitment towards existence.
- Osho
When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.
- 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
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
Don’t go on with borrowed knowledge. Otherwise you will forget that you are ignorant, and you will remain ignorant.
- 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
It is better to be ignorant; at least the ignorance is yours. It is authentic, it is real, sincere and honest!
- Osho
Darkness is an absence of light. Ego is an absence of awareness.
- 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!
- 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
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
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
If you enter heaven because other forced you to act according to certain precepts, certain commandments, you will regret even in heaven.
- 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
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
I am teaching you to live simply. To live with an idea is a very complicated living, it is cunning. To live simply, just like trees and birds….
- 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
Truth is not to be found outside. No teacher, no scripture can give it to you. It is inside you and if you wish to attain it, seek your own company. Be with yourself.
- Osho
Nobody can teach you love. Love you have to find yourself, within your being, by raising your consciousness to higer levels.
- Osho
When you are Yourself, There is Truth, there is Beauty, There is Grace, there is Ecstasy.
- Osho
Oneness is the key.
- Osho
Your honesty, Your love, Your compassion should come from your inner being, not from teachings and scriptures.
- 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
Prayer is gratitude. Prayer is thankfulness.
- Osho
Awareness means to be totally aware of what you are doing at the time of doing it. Experiment with that and you will see it, and you will experience such peace as you have never known before.
- 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
Instead of pleasing, learn the art of happiness.
- 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
Only authentic human beings can create a society which will be joyous, ecstatic, and in the real sense, human.
- 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. It is going to be arduous, but you have to start becoming responsible for your own life. Once you start feeling responsible for your own life you start growing, because then there is no point in wasting time in postponing, in waiting. Nobody is coming to help you. All waiting is futile, all waiting is sheer wastage.
- Osho
A man who lives life in its totality is a rainbow; he lives the whole spectrum of it.
- Osho
Mind is a continuous thirst for more. It never finds fulfillment.
- 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
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
Truth is not found by knowledge, it is found by silence. And knowledge is noisy.
- Osho
When peace starts dancing. It is bliss. When peace becomes active, overflowing, it is bliss.
- Osho
When your ego is no more, only then will you know who you are.
- Osho
Love changes the whole climate of your inner being—and with that change the whole existence is changed.
- Osho
Never belong to a crowd; never belong to a nation; never belong to a religion; never belong to a race. Belong to the whole existence. Why limit yourself to small things? When the whole is available, only stupid people will cling to small things. Be oceanic.
- 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
My enlightenment has freed me from everything, including enlightenment.
- Osho
Tomorrow never comes, it is always today.
- 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
Desire disappears as you become more and more aware. When awareness is one hundred percent, there is no desire at all.
- 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
Anger transformed becomes compassion. Sex transformed becomes prayer. Greed transformed becomes sharing.
- Osho
Every man, every woman is born with a bird in the heart. The heart has wings, but the heart can open its wings only in the sky if silence.
- 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
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
It is very rare to find a person who accepts himself – because the moment he accepts himself, he is reborn.
- Osho
Resolution is struggle. Resolution is ego. Resolution is saying, I cannot live spontaneously.
- Osho
This world is just a game. Winners lose and losers win the game is still the same. This life is just a play. Those who say dont know and those who know dont say.
- Osho
There is no other greater ecstasy, no other greater blissfulness, than to know who you are. To know the inner space is to know all.
- Osho
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
Please watch how you are clinging to your sorrow, your misery. Drop it, let go of it! And your life will have a great sweetness.
- Osho
