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

A truth cannot be read in a scripture, a truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.- 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.

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.

Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.- Osho

We have to change this world by celebrating, by dancing, by singing, by music, by meditation by love, not by struggle.- 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

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

The moment you see that whatsoever you are in your own creation, you are freed from all outer causes and circumstances.- 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.

-
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
-
Remember it is not only you who are seeking truth – truth is also seeking you.- 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

A moment of truth is more valuable than a hundred years of life, because a moment of truth makes you part of eternity.- Osho

My perception of sannyas is to be just yourself. If I say any attribute, I am imposing that attribute on my sannyasins. My sannyas is absolute freedom. With freedom of course a great responsibility comes, but that is not my business.- 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

Accept the wholeness of life; because to me the acceptance of the whole is the only holy experience in the world.- 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

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

The moment you accept yourself, you become beautiful.- Osho

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

If whatsoever you have been living can be conveyed by words, that means you have not lived at all.- 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
-
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
-
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.- 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
-
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
-
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

Whatever you feel, you become. It is your responsibility.- 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
-
Truth is to be lived, not understood.- 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
-
Be ordinary. Nothing is wrong with ordinariness, because in your very ordinariness you are extraordinary.- 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
-
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
-
Drop envy and jealousy, otherwise there is no possibility — because love cannot exist where envy and jealousies exist.- 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
-
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

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
-
Avoid rationalizing your own errors and mistakes. Because if you rationalize, you protect them. Then they will be repeated.- Osho
-
Your marriage is a subtle politics of domination. Your fatherhood, motherhood, is a subtle politics.- 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
-
The authentic religion teaches you to discover your immortality, to discover the god within you.- Osho
-
Don’t be bothered by perfection. Replace the word ‘Perfection’ by ‘Totality'. Totality will give you a different dimension.- 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
-
Love is a state of being; it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not in love, one is in love.- 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

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

The society is ill; individuals are victims. Society needs therapy; individuals simply need love. The society is the patient and needs hospitalization.- Osho
-
Never sacrifice your life for anything! Sacrifice everything for life! Life is the ultimate goal.- Osho
-
You are being taught everything, but you are not being taught to be yourself. This is the ugliest form of society possible, because it makes everybody miserable.- Osho
-
To be a happy person, one has to drop all comparison. Drop all these stupid ideas of being superior and inferior. You are neither superior nor inferior. You are simply yourself! There exists no one like you, no one with whom you can be compared. Then, suddenly, you are at home.- Osho
-
If you remain always far, love will die. If you remain always near, love will die. Love can survive only in a continuous flowing relationship.- 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 real prayer arises out of gratitude, never out of fear and greed. A real prayer arises out of love for truth.- Osho
-
I am crazy, but you are crazier! And that is the only bond between us - I am crazy, you are crazier.- Osho
-
In relationship be blissful, in alone-ness be aware, and they will help each other, like two wings of a bird.- Osho
-
I want every one of my sannyasins to be utterly unique.- 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

My effort is to make this whole earth a buddhafield.- 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
-
It is better to be ignorant; at least the ignorance is yours. It is authentic, it is real, sincere and honest!- Osho
-
It does not matter if you are a rose or a lotus or a marigold. What matters is that you are flowering.- Osho
-
One seed can make a whole earth green. One small sparkle of energy in you can fill the whole earth with dance, song, music.- Osho
-
Don’t go on with borrowed knowledge. Otherwise you will forget that you are ignorant, and you will remain ignorant.- Osho
-
Love is just like a breeze: it comes, but you should not close your doors to keep the breeze inside.- Osho
-
If you can really see a beautiful rose of a beautiful sunset with your totality there is no need of any other discipline to become a Buddha.- Osho
-
Don't choose. Accept life as it is in it's totality.- Osho
-
Life is very precious and the greatest treasure is hidden in it – and that treasure is of becoming a witness.- Osho
-
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.- Osho
-
In Jainism forgiving carries great value, which I need to follow as it helps me to learn art of living, & I sincerely request you to forgive me if any of my.- 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
-
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
-
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

Mind cannot think without duality. Duality is the way of thinking. In silence, all dualities disappear. Oneness is the experience of silence.- Osho
-
If you love yourself, you love others. If you hate yourself, you hate others. In relationship with others, it is only you mirrored.- 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
-
Harmony is happiness, and harmony is heaven. And harmony happens only when you are in tune with the whole. To be with the whole is to be holy.- 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

Only people suffering from inferiority complex want to impress others. A really superior person never compares himself with anybody else.- Osho

Don't try to understand life, Live it! Don't try to understand love, Move into love. Then you will know.- Osho
