Let the light dispel your inner darkness, your inner weakness. Let love make you a tremendous power, a spiritual force.- Osho

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

Its very nature is to reach to the ocean. It is not an effort, it is its intrinsic quality.- 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.

It opens the door of your eternal aloneness.- Osho

The ego is the cancer of the inner, the cancer of the soul. And the only remedy - the only remedy I say - is meditation.- 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
-
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

-
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
-
Listen to your being. It is continuously giving you hints; it is a still, small voice. It does not shout at you, that is true. And if you are a little silent you will start feeling your way. Be the person you are. Never try to be another, and you will become mature. Maturity is accepting the responsibility of being oneself, whatsoever the cost. Risking all to be oneself, that’s what maturity is all about.- Osho

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

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
-
The existence loves you, otherwise you would not be here. Relax into your being, you are cherished by the whole.- 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 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
-
When two lovers meet not out of some bondage but out of freedom, there is benediction.- 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
-
Love brings freedom. And a love that does not bring freedom is not love.- 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
-
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
-
Withdraw your awareness from everywhere and just let it rest within yourself, and you have arrived home.- 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
-
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
-
It is only out of totality that one blooms, that the spring comes, and your life starts having color and music and poetry.- 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
-
There is no other God than life. Be more alive, and you will be more divine. Be totally alive, and there is no death for you.- Osho
-
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. Only false religion has rules, because false religion is a game.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
I am deliberately inconsistent, contradictory, so that you cannot make any body of knowledge out of me. So if one day you start gathering something, another day I take it away. I don't allow you to gather anything. Sooner or later, you are bound to be awakened to the fact that something totally different is transpiring here. It is not that I am giving you some dogma to be believed in, some philosophy to be lived by, no, not at all. I am utterly destructive, I am taking everything away from you.- Osho
-
I have a deep reverence for everything that is alive, a reverence for life itself.- Osho
-
Life is a beautiful journey if it is a process of constant learning, exploration. Then it is excitement every moment.- Osho
-
Don’t be serious about seriousness. Laugh about it, be a little foolish. Don’t condemn foolishness; it has its own beauties.- Osho
-
The greatest freedom is to be free of one’s own mind.- Osho
-
Respect your life. Out of that respect, you will start respecting life in others.- 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
-
Bravery does not mean being fearless. It means to be full of fear but still not being dominated by it.- 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
-
Love changes the whole climate of your inner being—and with that change the whole existence is changed.- Osho
-
Celebrate aloneness, celebrate your pure space, and great song will arise in your heart. And it will be a song of awareness; it will be a song of meditation- 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
-
Only a blind man can easily define what light is. When you do not know, you are bold. Ignorance is always bold; knowledge hesitates. And the more you know, the more you feel that the ground underneath is dissolving. The more you know, the more you feel how ignorant you are.- Osho
-
Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.- Osho
-
Meditation will give you a little glimpse, a little taste, that the truth is inside you.- Osho
-
Truth is a search, not a faith. It is an inquiry, not a belief. It is a question, a quest.- Osho
-
Something disappears when you become aware, and something appears. Death disappears, deathlessness appears. The ego disappears, egolessness appears.- Osho
-
Detach yourself from all fixed ideas; they are the killers of all aliveness and innocence-which are musts for illumination.- Osho
-
People say love is blind because they do not know what love is. I say unto you, only love has eyes; other than love, everything is blind.- Osho
-
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
-
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
-
Tomorrow-drop that word from your vocabulary! Tomorrow does not exist, it cannot exist: it is not in the nature of things. Only this day exists.- Osho
-
When Mind knows, We call it Knowledge, When Heart knows, We call it Love, and When Being knows, We call it Meditation.- Osho
-
Once your awareness becomes a flame, it burns up the whole slavery that the mind has created.- 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
-
Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.- 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
-
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
-
Be realistic: Plan for a miracle.- 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
-
Why limit yourself to small things! When the whole is available, only stupid people will cling to small things. Be oceanic!- Osho
-
Every error is an opportunity to learn. Just do not commit the same mistake again and again-that is stupidity.- Osho
-
The mind a beautiful servant, a dangerous master.- Osho

All ambition is politics, all struggle to be the first is politics. A non-struggling, non conflicting mind is religious.- Osho

This watchfulness, this witnessing is the ultimate secret of creating a religious life, of creating a life of transcendence, a life of spirituality, of enlightenment, of buddhahood.- 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
-
Everything borrowed is ugly. Beliefs are borrowed, hence they are ugly. And when you live according to borrowed beliefs you create chaos in the world.- Osho

I love life. That’s why I give teachings of celebration, celebrate everything. From body to soul, physical to spiritual, sex to superconsciousness, everything is divine for me.- 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
-
Life is a musical instrument, and awareness is its greatest music.- Osho
