Osho on Sharing
"Before death knocks on your door, share -- whatsoever you have. You can sing a beautiful song? -- sing it, share it. You can paint a picture? -- paint, share it. You can dance? -- go and dance, share it. Whatsoever you have -- and I have never come across a man who has not much to share. If you want to share, you have too much to share. If you don't want to share, you may have enough, more than enough, but you are poor, you don't have anything."
- Osho, "A Sudden Clash of Thunder, #9"
“Those who have gone inside have never come empty handed. They have come with so much bliss, so much ecstasy, with such an abundance that they start sharing, because as they share they come to understand the inner economics.
The more you share the more you have. If you don't share, you won't have even that which you had. Jesus says, "Those who have shall be given more, and those who have not, even whatsoever they have will be taken away." I cannot agree with him. I say unto you, the more you give, the more you will have; the less you give, the less you will have. If you don't give at all, you won't have anything left.
Sharing is the only compassion.
Sharing is the only service.
Sharing is the only way the awakened one lives. That is real character. That is authentic morality. That is true religiousness.”
- Osho, "I Celebrate Myself: God Is No Where, Life Is Now Here, #2"
"Live truly, authentically, sincerely -- that is the most funda-mental thing. I teach you life! I don't teach you service. Service comes as a shadow. A really alive person is continuously sharing his energy -- whatsoever he has -- because he knows that the more you share, the more you have."
- Osho, "Blessed Are the Ignorant, #5"
"If you know how to share, you are mature; if you don't know how to share, you are immature. This sharing goes on on all levels, in all directions, in all dimensions. So one of the most basic things to understand is the more you share something, the more it grows in you. Share whatsoever you have and it will grow; cling to it, become afraid of sharing, of friendship, of love, and it will shrink'. Life knows only one law and that law is of expansion and sharing."
- Osho, "Ancient Music in the Pines, #2"
"The ordinary love is just a masquerade; something else is hiding behind it. The real love is a totally different phenomenon. The ordinary love is a demand. The real love is a sharing. It knows nothing of demand; it knows the joy of giving."
- Osho, "God's Got a Thing About you, #15"
"Meditation makes you capable of being alone and joyous, with no need of the other, and love makes you capable of sharing your joy with others. Meditation is inner, love is outer. Meditation is of the interiority and love is of the exterior."
- Osho, "Theologia Mystica, #15"
"Love is sharing; greed is hoarding. greed only wants and never gives, and love knows only giving and never asks for anything in return; it is unconditional sharing."
- Osho, "Be Still and Know, #3"
"Love in its purest form is a sharing of joy. it asks nothing in return, it expects nothing. love is a spiritual phenommenon; lust is physical. ego is psychological; love is spiritual."
- Osho, "Come, Come, Yet Again Come, #9"
