You can go on changing the outer for lives and you will never be satisfied. Unless the inner changes, the outer can never be perfect.- Osho
-
Life is 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
-
All conditionings are based on belief. And my whole effort is that experience should be the only criterion not belief.- 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

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
-
Awareness is the remedy for all ills, because awareness makes you healthy, whole, and of course holy.- 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
-
Don’t analyze, celebrate it.- 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
-
First principle of an authentic religious man is to accept himself as he is, without any judgment—and only from there does your authentic pilgrimage begin.- Osho
-
My meditation is not something separate from life, it is something that has to be spread all over life. Your whole life has to be colored by it.- Osho
-
The whole play of existence is so beautiful that laughter can be the only response to it. Only laughter can be the real prayer, gratitude.- 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
-
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
-
Only a mediator knows a love that is not biological, that comes as a spiritual abundance, with a great urge to share.- Osho
-
I teach meditation, because that is the only way to allow love to happen in your being.- Osho
-
Meditation can bring the only revolution. There is all other revolution have failed.- Osho

Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously… Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul.- Osho

Nobody else can destroy you except you; nobody else can save you except you. You are the Judas and you are the Jesus.- Osho
-
Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny – he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally – you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.- Osho
-
Life is precious, and it is a gift from existence. We should not waste it.- Osho
-
Reaction is always unconscious; and response is always conscious.- Osho

Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.- Osho
-
I am not anti-life as other religions are. I am absolutely for life, and life in its essence means love.- Osho
-
My function here is to destroy all hypocrisy in you.- Osho
-
Love makes you feel welcome in the world. Love makes you a part of existence; it destroys alienation. Then you are no mere an outsider here, but utterly needed.- Osho
-
I have no wish to placate you with false, hollow and worthless words exhorting you to love mankind. The so-called religions have said these things to you for generations. I am here to urge you to love real men, to love your fellow beings - not mankind but the men who live and work around you. Humanity is just a word; mankind is just a label. You cannot find humanity or mankind anywhere. And so humanity is easy to love because the only thing you have to do is mouth a few platitudes.- Osho
-
Eat, taste the food, and still remember that you are the watcher.- Osho
-
Don’t go on with borrowed knowledge. Otherwise you will forget that you are ignorant, and you will remain ignorant.- Osho

The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.- Osho
-
This I call true religion – playfulness, lovingness, cheerfulness.- Osho

Don’t cling to anything. Clinging is the cause of our being unconscious.- 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

Always choose the new, the less travelled by. Always choose the unknown, the less travelled by.- 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

The still point… There is a point within you where nothing ever moves – no movement from or to, no stirring, no sound created by any instrument. Nobody is there, just stillness, but that stillness is the dance and that stillness is the music.- Osho
-
No thought, no mind, no choice — just being silent, rooted in yourself.- Osho
-
Enlightenment is the understanding that this is all, that this is perfect, that this is it. Enlightenment is not an achievement, it is an understanding that there is nothing to achieve, nowhere to go.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
Every error is an opportunity to learn. Just do not commit the same mistake again and again-that is stupidity.- Osho
-
Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
Love has to be discovered — it is already there. And how to discover it? The more you are, the less is the possibility to discover love; the less you are, the more is the possibility to discover it. When the river disappears into the ocean, it discovers the ocean — it becomes the ocean.- Osho
-
Meditation is an effort to get rid of personality and to reach to your living sources of life, your individuality, your flame.- Osho
-
I am here to seduce you into a love of life; to help you to become a little more poetic; to help you die to the mundane and to the ordinary so that the extraordinary explodes in your life.- Osho
-
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
-
Use the opportunity of this to celebrate as much as possible. Don’t waste it in struggling and fighting.- Osho
-
My whole love and respect is for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has courage. He has courage to face the whole pressure of the society which is bent upon splitting him into divisions – into good and bad, into saint and sinner. He is really a brave, courageous being who stands against the whole history of man, of morality, and declares to the skies his reality, whatever it is.- Osho
-
Thinking is a very low activity; it is of the mind. Meditation is the highest within you; it is beyond mind.- Osho

-
The ego is an island in the ocean of Hell. You want to get rid of the Hell but you don’t want to get rid of that island. Then there is trouble.- 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
-
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
-
It does not matter if you are a rose or a lotus or a marigold. What matters is that you are flowering.- Osho
-
If you can trust nature, by and by you become quiet, silent, happy, joyful, celebrating—because nature is celebrating. Nature is a celebration.- 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

Practise love. Sitting alone in your room, be loving. Radiate love. Fill the whole room with your love energy.- Osho
-
If you want to become an infinite source of love, then go on sharing love as much as you can. Don’t be a miser; only misers lose energy.- Osho
-
Relationship is the need of those who cannot be alone. Two alone persons relate, communicate, commune, and yet they remain alone.- 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
-
The greatest freedom is to be free of one’s own mind.- 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 be choiceless is to be in meditation. To be choiceless is to enter the eternal.- Osho
-
If you enter heaven because other forced you to act according to certain precepts, certain commandments, you will regret even in heaven.- Osho
-
When I say be creative I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.- Osho
-
If your heart says to take the jump, then take the jump, then risk, then be adventurous.- Osho
-
Courage is a love affair with the unknown.- Osho
-
My word for prayer is love. Forget the word prayer, replace it with love. Love is not for some invisible God. Love is for the visible -- human beings, animals, trees, oceans, mountains. Spread your wings of love as far and wide as you can.- Osho
-
A real religious man is one who has no past, who has no autobiography, who is continuously new, each moment slipping with GOD. He does not bother – what has happened, has happened – finished! Put a full stop it, and never look back. Go on...he is always calling you ahead, and ahead. He is always persuading you to move into new territories of being: from lust to love, from love to prayer - and there are higher realms than prayer. And he is constantly on the move. If you follow him, the only way is to be constantly on the move. Be a river.- Osho
-
I am crazy, but you are crazier! And that is the only bond between us - I am crazy, you are crazier.- Osho
-
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
-
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
-
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

It is better to be ignorant; at least the ignorance is yours. It is authentic, it is real, sincere and honest!- Osho
-
To be in the middle is to be beyond suffering.- Osho
-
God is without purpose. The sky exists without purpose. Flowers bloom without purpose and stars shine without purpose. What happens to poor man that he cannot live without purpose?- Osho
-
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
-
All that is great is going to happen to you-- not by your effort, but by your relaxed openness, availability. Just keep your doors open.- Osho

Intellect and meditation meeting together, growing together, give you the wholeness of being.- Osho

Drop the idea that attachment and love are one thing. They are enemies. It is attachment that destroys all 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

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
-
If you are aware, you cannot be angry, because anger can exist only in a state of unawareness; that is a prerequisite for anger to exist.- Osho
-
Help the world to become better. Don’t leave the world just the same as you have found it – make it a little better, make it a little more beautiful.- Osho
-
Be aware – deep down you are really attached to your negative emotions. They are your ego.- 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
-
One day you will disappear on a funeral pyre – just into nothingness, as smoke. Don’t get attached to anything.- Osho
-
Love cannot be taught, it can only be caught.- Osho
-
A single insight into yourself is more valuable than all your scriptures. A single glimpse of your consciousness and you has entered the real temple.- Osho

-
Withdraw your awareness from everywhere and just let it rest within yourself, and you have arrived home.- Osho
-
Renunciation follows awareness like a shadow.- Osho

Never ask for sympathy. Be happy and love will be flowing towards you. Love is the right coin; sympathy is the wrong coin. It looks like love, it is not love.- 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
-
Truth is a search, not a faith. It is an inquiry, not a belief. It is a question, a quest.- Osho
-
Continuously clean your mind of beliefs, concepts, theories, ideas, ideologies, philosophies, doctrines, scriptures… Then the reality will be revealed to you.- 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
-
Religion is nothing but a science to attain wisdom, understanding, to know what life is, and to live it in utter celebration.- Osho

-
Never speak of me in the past tense. My presence here will be many times greater without the burden of my tortured body.- Osho
-
Mind cannot think without duality. Duality is the way of thinking. In silence, all dualities disappear. Oneness is the experience of silence.- Osho

Paradise is within you, in your state of no-mind. And hell is also within you, in your very mind.- Osho
-
Meditation will give you a little glimpse, a little taste, that the truth is inside you.- Osho

I have a deep reverence for everything that is alive, a reverence for life itself.- Osho
-
Only silence communicates the truth as it is.- Osho
-
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.- Osho
-
The greatest poverty of all is the absence of love. The man who has not developed the capacity to love lives in a private hell of his own. A man who is filled with love is in heaven.- Osho

Life is in understanding your innermost being. Because only then can you become a constantly overflowing source of beauty, love and joy.- Osho

Don’t expect, and there will be no frustration. Frustration is just a shadow which follows expectation.- 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
-
Be ordinary. Nothing is wrong with ordinariness, because in your very ordinariness you are extraordinary.- Osho

The ultimate state of love is freedom, absolute freedom, and any relationship that destroys freedom is not worthwhile.- Osho

-
It is very rare to find a person who accepts himself – because the moment he accepts himself, he is reborn.- Osho

A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.- 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
-
Never obey anyone’s command unless it is coming from within you also.- Osho
-
Don’t be serious about seriousness. Laugh about it, be a little foolish. Don’t condemn foolishness; it has its own beauties.- Osho
-
It(existence) has given me so much, there is no way to pay anything back; there is no word even to express gratitude. The only way is that my every breath should be used in helping people to reach to the same Everest of consciousness.- Osho
-
Dropping the mask and bringing out your original face is the whole alchemy of meditation.- 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
-
These three things are to be taken note of: the lowest love is sex - it is physical - and the highest refinement of love is compassion. Sex is below love, compassion is above love; love is exactly in the middle- Osho
-
Only a love free from attachment brings health and wholeness.- Osho
-
Whenever you plan for love, whenever deliberateness enters into it it becomes phony and false.- Osho
-
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance. Buddha has defined compassion as love plus meditation.- 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
-
You can become happy just by deciding to be happy.- 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
-
A real emperor is one who lives in himself; he has a center of his own, he does not depend on anybody else.- Osho
-
I have called the New Man ZORBA THE BUDDHA. Zorba represents the materialist, objective approach. Buddha represents the subjective, spiritual approach. Divided, both are poor. Neither of them is a full circle. Joined, they become immensely rich. Joined together, they experience the greatest ecstasy that is available to humanity.- Osho
-
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
-
A person who lives in the present – neither bothering about the past, nor bothering about the future – is fresh, young; he is neither a child nor an old man.- 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
-
Once you know meditation, you don’t have to follow anybody. You have your own eyes open, and you have your light just ahead of you showing the path.- Osho
-
Trust is the highest form of the same energy as doubt. Doubt is the lowest rung of the ladder, and trust is the highest rung of the same ladder. Use doubt, use it joyfully- 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
-
Life is not logic, life is not philosophy. Life is a dance, a song, a celebration! It is more like love and less like logic.- Osho
-
You are not filled with straw, you are filled with your own awareness. You are not filled with furniture, cars, houses, money, and other nonsense. You are just filled with your being, the sheer am-ness, the sheer existence.- Osho
-
If you live with love, through love, you will live a great life, because love makes everything great.- Osho
-
Drop comparing and life is really beautiful. Drop comparing and you can enjoy life to the full.- 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
-
In relationship be blissful, in alone-ness be aware, and they will help each other, like two wings of a bird.- Osho

Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.- Osho
-
Don't try to understand life, Live it! Don't try to understand love, Move into love. Then you will know.- Osho
-
When one is total, life flowers — and that flowering is spirituality. Spirituality is not an attitude, it is not a discipline. It is an outcome of a life lived totally, joyfully, delightfully; of a life of no complaint; of a life lived courageously, intensely. Then this flowering happens.- Osho
-
The person who trusts can relax into existence. The person who cannot trust remains tense, remains anxious, afraid.- 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
-
Where silence and awareness meet, mingle and become one, there is receptivity. Receptivity is the most important religious quality.- Osho
-
If love is not conscious it remains lust, and lust can never have anything of prayer in it. Lust is unconscious, love is conscious.- Osho
-
If you are absolute without mind, just pure consciousness, time stops completely, disappears, leaving no trace behind.- Osho
-
I have been teaching you nothing else except to be more alive, more loving, more singing, more dancing.- 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
-
Love is life, love is god, love is sannyas.- Osho
-
That’s why children look so beautiful because they are yet full of hope, full of dreams, and they have not yet known frustration.- Osho
-
Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.- 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
-
Mind is a continuous thirst for more. It never finds fulfillment.- Osho
-
Be ordinary, but bring a quality of awareness to your ordinary life. Bring God to your ordinary life introduce God into your ordinary life. Sleep, eat, love, pray, meditate, but don’t think that you are making or doing something special—and then you will be special.- Osho
-
If you start listening to the body, listening to nature, listening to your inner being, you will be more and happier.- Osho
-
I don’t believe in nationalism, and I don’t believe in any religion. I believe in the individual and his happiness.- Osho
-
Sannyas is only a declaration. The work is meditation. In one single word, my religion is complete, and that is meditation.- Osho
-
Love needs two things: it has to be rooted in freedom and it has to know the art of trust.- Osho
-
You are the temple and the master of the temple. You need not go anywhere. If you need go anywhere it is only inwards, into your own interiority.- Osho
-
If jealousy disappears and love still remains, then you have something solid in your life which is worth having.- Osho
-
The less the head, the more the wound will heal. No head there is no wound. Live a headless life. Move as a total being, and accept things.- Osho
-
Be Yourself - and only then can you be responsible and authentic and real. But ordinarily everyone is just secondhand and borrowed, and that makes everything ugly.- Osho
-
God is No Where, Life in Now Here.- 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
-
To love means to drop the ego, to drop yourself. Love means not to BE.- Osho
-
Never be ashamed of your tears. Be proud that you are still natural. Be proud that you can express the inexpressible through your tears.- Osho
-
Celebration is my religion, love is my message, and silence is my truth.- Osho
-
There has never been a person like you before, there is nobody else like you right now in the whole world, and there will never be anybody like you.- Osho
-
All your knowledge is dust. Knowing is your purity, knowledge is dust.- Osho

Misery comes the moment you become clinging, attached. The moment you put conditions on life.- 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.

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.

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

So when I say, Spread the word, I mean whatever I have been telling you, go on spreading in as many ways as possible.

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.

Risking all to be oneself, that’s what maturity is all about.- Osho

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?
