My Message is very Simple. Live life as dangerously as possible. Live life totally, intensely, passionately, because except for life there is no other God.
- Osho
Resolution is struggle. Resolution is ego. Resolution is saying, I cannot live spontaneously.
- Osho
To be responsible is to be free. To give the responsibility to somebody else is to be a prisoner.
- Osho
Fame is foolish, it is pointless, meaningless. Even if the whole world knows you, how does it make you richer? How does it make your life more blissful? How does it help you to be more understanding, to be more aware? To be more alert, to be more alive?
- Osho
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.

Anything that gives you freedom is right, and anything that destroys your freedom is wrong.
- 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
Remember, all great values are killed the moment you cling to them. And no great value can be imitated.

Truth is not a theory. Truth is not a word. Truth is an experience – an experience of one’s own infinite depths. To become one with “that which is” is the truth.
- Osho
Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.
- 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
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
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
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.
- Osho
A really mature person cannot be serious, there is nothing to be serious about. The whole of life is fun, it is a play, a play of consciousness. And that's what meditation reveals to you - that the whole of life is a beautiful play of energy. The same energy is in the trees, in the stars, in the rivers, in the mountains, in you, in animals. It is the same energy dancing in different forms. We in the East have called it 'leela'. Leela means god's play.
- Osho
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
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.

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
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.

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

I don’t believe in nationalism, and I don’t believe in any religion. I believe in the individual and his happiness.
- 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
It is only out of totality that one blooms, that the spring comes, and your life starts having color and music and poetry.

I am a natural person. I have no charisma, and I don’t believe in charisma. I don’t believe in methods - even if I use them, I don’t believe in them. I am a natural person, very ordinary. I can be lost in a crowd and you will not be able to find me. I don’t lead you, I accompany you.

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.

I would hate to be respected by the present humanity -it does not have that intelligence, nor has it that heart, nor has it that being.
- Osho
The experience of the joy that the unknown brings, the great ecstasy that starts happening with the unknown,makes you strong enough, gives you a certain integrity, makes your intelligence sharp. For the first time you start feeling that life is not just a boredom but an adventure. Then slowly slowly fears disappear.

Don’t allow the fear to overpower you, allow love to overpower you. Love comes from the centre, fear always comes from the periphery.

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.

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.

Unless you know yourself as eternal beings, part of the whole, you will remain afraid of death.
- Osho
To be in tune, to be harmonious with the universe, is bliss is joy, is music, is poetry. You start blooming the moment you are in tune with the whole.
- 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.

If you love a person, you accept the total person. With all the defects. Because those defects are a part of the person.

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
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.

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.

The ocean is not far away. But your ego is a frozen block - it needs melting. Love melts it, fear makes it more frozen, trust melts it. All that the people who are trying to find themselves have to do, is remain melted and allow the river to move on its own. You should not be the guide. The river needs no guide. Its very nature is to reach to the ocean. It is not an effort, it is its intrinsic quality.

The first: freedom. The second: uniqueness of individuality. The third: love. The fourth: meditation. The fifth: non-seriousness. The sixth: playfulness. The seventh: creativity. The eighth: sensitivity. The ninth: gratefulness. Tenth: a feeling of the mysterious. These ten non-commandments constitute my basic attitude towards reality, towards man's freedom from all kinds of spiritual slavery.
- Osho
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
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
My whole love and respect is for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has courage.
- 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
The first thing that should be a foundation for your whole life is the art of meditation; anything else should come later on.
- Osho
Every error is an opportunity to learn. Just do not commit the same mistake again and again-that is stupidity.
- 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
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
The only way to be desire less is to be wakeful, watchful. Watchfulness creates a light in you, and in that light the darkness of desire cannot enter.
- Osho
My effort is to make this whole earth a buddhafield.
- Osho
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.
- Osho
All leadership is misleading, and to guide is to misguide. Buddha was not a guide and Buddha was not a leader.
- 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
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
Truth is to be lived, not understood.
- Osho
The only refuge is the perfection of wisdom, the perfection of meditation.
- Osho
Nobody can teach you love. Love you have to find yourself, within your being, by raising your consciousness to higer levels.
- Osho
Your whole idea about yourself is borrowed–borrowed from those who have no idea of who they are themselves.
- Osho
Aloneness is a flower, a lotus blooming in your heart. Aloneness is positive, aloneness is health.
- Osho
To love means to drop the ego, to drop yourself. Love means not to be.
- Osho
Life is not given to you to murder, to destroy. Life has been given to you to create, and to rejoice, and to celebrate.
- Osho
To avoid pain, they avoid pleasure. To avoid death, they avoid life.
- Osho
Anger transformed becomes compassion. Sex transformed becomes prayer. Greed transformed becomes sharing.
- 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.
- Osho
If jealousy disappears and love still remains, then you have something solid in your life which is worth having.
- Osho
There is a morality which is imposed from the outside which is never in tune with your heart. And there is a morality that comes from within you: it is always in tune with your heart and in tune with heart of the universe. That’s authentic morality.
- Osho
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
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
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 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
Friendliness is one of the most significant qualities for the seeker to develop; it is really sweet. It makes your whole life full of sweet music.
- Osho
Any religion, any ideology, that is based only on belief, or faith, is bound to cripple your intelligence.
- 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
Witnessing is a happening, a by-product--a by-product of being total in any moment, in any situation, in any experience. Totality is the key.
- Osho
When mind knows, we call it knowledge.When heart knows, we call it love. And when being knows, we call it meditation.
- Osho
Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.
- Osho
Individuality is the very flowering of existence — nothing is higher than it.
- Osho
Love cannot be taught, it can only be caught.
- Osho
Darkness is an absence of light. Ego is an absence of awareness.
- 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
Respect your life. Out of that respect, you will start respecting life in others.
- Osho
Nobody should in any way interfere in anybody else’s life.
- 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
The ultimate state of love is freedom, absolute freedom, and any relationship that destroys freedom is not worthwhile.
- 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.
- Osho
Whatsoever you do with awareness is right. Right and wrong is not a distinction between objects; right and wrong is distinction between consciousnesses.
- Osho
On the path nothing more is needed than Patience
- 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
If your heart says to take the jump, then take the jump, then risk, then be adventurous.
- Osho
Real love makes you more of an individual. It does not efface your individuality, it gives you individuality. Real love is very respectful.
- Osho
No thought, no mind, no choice — just being silent, rooted in yourself.
- Osho
There is no greater ecstasy than to know who you are.
- 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
Don’t expect, and there will be no frustration. Frustration is just a shadow which follows expectation.
- 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
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. Only false religion has rules, because false religion is a game.
- Osho
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
The mirror mirrors things, but mirroring is not an activity. It is just the nature of the mirror, that whatever comes before it is reflected.
- Osho
Only a love free from attachment brings health and wholeness.
- Osho
Love is not manageable, it is simply something that happens, and the moment you try to manage it everything misfire.
- Osho
Walk Without Feet, Fly Without Wings and Think Without Mind.
- Osho
If meditation really happens, whatsoever the cause, compassion has to follow.
- Osho
They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then think as much as you want!
- 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
Once your awareness becomes a flame, it burns up the whole slavery that the mind has created.
- Osho
Only a mediator knows a love that is not biological, that comes as a spiritual abundance, with a great urge to share.
- 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
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 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
The feminine is more powerful than the masculine, the soft is more powerful than the hard, the water is more powerful than the rock.
- 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
Once your intelligence and your innocence are available to you, just like two wings, the whole sky is yours. There are no more boundaries for you.
- Osho
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
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
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
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
The fundamental thing is to drop the split, to become one. Be one, and then all else is possible; even the impossible is possible.
- Osho
Love lives in waiting – dies in meeting, becomes ordinary.
- Osho
A man who loves himself takes the first step towards real love.
- 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
The only courage is to live life totally; there is no other courage.
- Osho
Love makes you wise but never knew. Knowledge makes you cunning and clever but never loving.
- 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
If love can not keep you together, nothing else can keep you together. And if love cannot keep you together, than anything that can keep you together is dangerous.
- Osho
Always choose the new, the less travelled by. Always choose the unknown, the less travelled by.
- Osho
Meditation is not doing anything directly to your violence, not doing anything to your jealousy, to your hate. It is simply brining light into your house, and the darkness disappears.
- 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
The truth is showering on you in each breath, in each beat of your heart. Except truth, there is nothing else.
- 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
We are not interested in going to paradise; We are interested in making the paradise come here.
- Osho
Love means the art of being with others. Meditation means the art of being with yourself. Both are two aspects of the same coin.
- Osho
It is better to be ignorant; at least the ignorance is yours. It is authentic, it is real, sincere and honest!
- 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
Just see how much respect God has paid to you. You are a masterpiece – unrepeatable, incomparable, utterly unique.
- 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
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
you needs inner light, a light which has its source in your very being, a light which cannot be extinguished even by death, a light which is eternal.
- Osho
Giving love is the real beautiful experience, because then you are an emperor. Getting love is a very small experience. It is the experience of beggar.
- 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
A woman is one of the most beautiful phenomena in the world; not to be compared with anything else. The woman is the masterpiece of god.
- 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
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
Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated.
- 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
Respect yourself, love yourself, because there has never been a person like you and there never will be again.
- 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
Intelligence is a natural phenomenon, every child is born intelligent.
- Osho
Courage is a love affair with the unknown.
- Osho
All ambition is politics, all struggle to be the first is politics. A non-struggling, non conflicting mind is religious.
- Osho
Meditation cannot be a fragmented thing, it should be a continuous effort. Every moment one has to be alert, aware and meditative.
- 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
Celebration is my attitude, unconditional to what life brings.
- Osho
We have to make laughter, rejoicing, dancing, singing, part of a healthy being – just overflowing well-being.
- 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
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
Man is born only as a potential. He can become a thorn for himself and for others, he can also become a flower for himself and for others.
- Osho
Love brings freedom. And a love that does not bring freedom is not love.
- Osho
Whoever may have died right now, each death is your death, because each death is a reminder that you are not going to be here forever.
- Osho
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
My work consists to bring you out of your cages — Hindu, Christian, Jew, communist, theist, atheist.
- Osho
Drop the idea that attachment and love are one thing. They are enemies. It is attachment that destroys all love.
- 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
NOW is the only reality. All else is either memory or imagination.
- Osho
The poison can become medicinal - you have to know how to transform it. And sometimes the nectar can be poisonous - if you dint know how to use it.
- Osho
Don’t go on with borrowed knowledge. Otherwise you will forget that you are ignorant, and you will remain ignorant.
- 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
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
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
My whole teaching is this, accept yourself, love yourself, and celebrate 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
Even if they can find a lover they demand perfection, and the love is destroyed because of that demand.
- Osho
By ‘Love’ people mean a certain kind of monopoly understanding a simple fact: that the moment you possess a living being you have killed him.
- Osho
Only authentic human beings can create a society which will be joyous, ecstatic, and in the real sense, human.
- Osho
Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.
- 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
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
Humanity will never be religious unless all organized religions disappear and religion becomes an individual commitment towards existence.
- Osho
Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.
- Osho
When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised.
- 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
When you become an absolute pool of silence, an aura of grace arises around you and follows you like your shadow; that is the shadow of your soul.
- Osho
I am the beginning of something new, but not the beginning of a new religion. I am the beginning of a new kind of religiousness
- Osho
If you really want peace on earth, create peace in your heart, in your being. That is the right place to begin with and then spread.
- Osho
You just listen to your own heart – that is your only teacher. In the real journey of life, your own intuition is your only teacher.
- Osho
The mind should be trained to be a servant of the heart. Logic should serve love. And then life can become a festival of lights.
- Osho
If you enter heaven because other forced you to act according to certain precepts, certain commandments, you will regret even in heaven.
- Osho
I want you to be absolutely certain that nothing is wrong with anybody; all wrongs have been fed into you.
- 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
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
Love changes the whole climate of your inner being—and with that change the whole existence is changed.
- Osho
One who thinks in terms of superiority will always remain inferior because these are two aspects of the same coin.
- 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
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
A real emperor is one who lives in himself; he has a center of his own, he does not depend on anybody else.
- Osho
The real religious man has to contribute to the world. He has to make it a little more beautiful than he found it when he came into the world.
- 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
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
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
There is no other miracle in the world than meditation. It is the only science of transforming you into a new man.
- Osho
Consciousness without thinking: That’s what awareness is.
- Osho
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance. Buddha has defined compassion as love plus meditation.
- Osho
If whatsoever you have been living can be conveyed by words, that means you have not lived at all.
- Osho
When you say that hole existence as a tremendous dance as a celebration you are liberate by it. It is celebration that celebration, it is love that liberate.
- Osho
Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously… Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul.
- 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
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
Desire disappears as you become more and more aware. When awareness is one hundred percent, there is no desire at all.
- Osho
I want every one of my sannyasins to be utterly unique.
- Osho
