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

-
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

The first: freedom. The second: uniqueness of individuality. The third: love. The fourth: meditation. The fifth: non-seriousness. The sixth: playfulness. The seventh: creativity.

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

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

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

Your honesty, Your love, Your compassion should come from your inner being, not from teachings and scriptures.- 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 accept the challenge of the unknown in spite of all fears, is courage. The fears are there, but if you go on accepting the challenge again and again, slowly slowly those fears disappear.- Osho
-
That is my whole teaching: just to be natural. Nature is Dharma, nature is Tao, and nature is Zen. And the moment you are natural, flowers will shower over you.- Osho
-
To possess anything is to be possessed by it. The more you possess, the more slavery you create around yourself.- Osho
-
To be in the middle is to be beyond suffering.- Osho
-
The truth is showering on you in each breath, in each beat of your heart. Except truth, there is nothing else.- 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
-
Listen to your own heart; that is the only scripture I prescribe. Yes listen very attentively, very consciously, and you will never be wrong.- Osho
-
Sharing is the most precious religious experience. Sharing is good.- Osho
-
Life is a musical instrument, and awareness is its greatest music.- 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
-
I resolve never to make any resolutions because all resolutions are restrictions for the future. All resolutions are imprisonments.- Osho
-
A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.- 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
-
It is better to be ignorant; at least the ignorance is yours. It is authentic, it is real, sincere and honest!- Osho
-
To love means to drop the ego, to drop yourself. Love means not to be.- 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
-
Happiness is not a result. It is a way of life. Happiness is not the end result of desire. It is an attitude, not a desire.- 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
-
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
-
If you are absolute without mind, just pure consciousness, time stops completely, disappears, leaving no trace behind.- 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
-
Something disappears when you become aware, and something appears. Death disappears, deathlessness appears. The ego disappears, egolessness appears.- Osho
-
To move on the path of meditation is to move on the path of life ... life's joys, life's songs, life's laughter. And take everything easy. Easy is right.- Osho
-
The moment you are interested in becoming somebody else you become complex. To be content with yourself as you are is simple.- 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
-
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
-
Withdraw your awareness from everywhere and just let it rest within yourself, and you have arrived home.- Osho
-
When you cheat somebody, you are losing something of your inner being… something which is tremendously valuable.- Osho
-
Life is not a tragedy, it is a comedy. To be alive means to have a sense of humour.- Osho
-
Respect life, and life will respect you. Love life and love will shower blessing on you.- Osho
-
I would like marriage to disappear completely from the world, and with marriage, divorce will disappear.- 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
-
Unless you know yourself as eternal beings, part of the whole, you will remain afraid of death.- Osho
-
God is a person; godliness is a quality. You cannot become God, but you can be godly.- 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
-
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
-
To be in time is to be asleep: to be awake is to be in eternity.- 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
-
Mind is the illusion that which is not but appears, and appears so much that you think that you are the mind.- Osho
-
I do not give you any discipline, any philosophy. I simply help you to bring out your own consciousness into a state of flowering.- Osho
-
Jealousy is almost like a shadow of love. If we can grow our love, it takes over the whole energy of jealousy and transforms it into love. It is an alchemical change.- Osho
-
Tomorrow never comes, it is always today.- 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
-
Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something.- Osho
-
Drop the idea that attachment and love are one thing. They are enemies. It is attachment that destroys all love.- 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
-
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 are not spiritually free, you are no free at all. Then all your freedoms are bogus, phony, pseudo.- Osho
-
It does not matter if you are a rose or a lotus or a marigold. What matters is that you are flowering.- Osho
-
To see the beauty of the flower you need silence, not analysis; beauty can never be understood through analysis.- Osho
-
When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised.- Osho
-
Love brings freedom. And a love that does not bring freedom is not love.- Osho
-
My whole life has been devoted to only one single program: how to bring love and meditation together - because only through that meeting a new humanity is possible. And only in the meeting of love and meditation, the duality of man and woman - the inequality of man and woman - disappears.- Osho
-
Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love.- Osho
-
The only thing that matters in life, is your own opinion about yourself.- Osho
-
Sannyas is only a declaration. The work is meditation. In one single word, my religion is complete, and that is meditation.- Osho
-
Avoid rationalizing your own errors and mistakes. Because if you rationalize, you protect them. Then they will be repeated.- 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
-
My teaching is very simple: meditation is the key, becoming totally aware is the result. Experiencing oneness with the whole is the reward.- 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
-
Love happens when you are ready to share with another human being. Prayer happens when you are ready to share with God.- Osho
-
Man is always exploited through fear.- 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
-
Detach yourself from all fixed ideas; they are the killers of all aliveness and innocence-which are musts for illumination.- Osho
-
Love is painful because it creates the way for bliss. Love is painful because it transforms, love is a mutation. Each transformation is going to be painful because the old has to be left for the new.- 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
-
You are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.- Osho
-
Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence- Osho
-
Whenever you punish somebody you are punishing yourself. Whenever you torture somebody you are torturing yourself — because there is nobody else.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
On the path nothing more is needed than Patience- Osho
-
Once you let go nothing dies, only the ego. You remain forever and ever.- Osho
-
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.- 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
-
Always remember that to be happy is to be religious; to be happy is to be virtuous; to be celebrating is to be prayerful.- 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
-
Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.- Osho
-
When two lovers meet not out of some bondage but out of freedom, there is benediction.- Osho
-
Love is a wine; you have to taste it, you have to drink it, you have to become drunk with it, only then do you know what it is.- Osho
-
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.- Osho
-
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance. Buddha has defined compassion as love plus meditation.- Osho
-
Anger transformed becomes compassion. Sex transformed becomes prayer. Greed transformed becomes sharing.- Osho
-
We are bringing a new approach in religion. You do not go away from the world, but rather go deeper into it and change it. This is more courageous.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
Eyes which have lost their tears have lost their most beautiful, their most glorious treasure.- Osho
-
Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love.- Osho
-
Love brings freedom. Loyalty brings slavery.- Osho
-
There is no need of any competition with anybody. You are yourself, and as you are, you are perfectly good. Accept yourself. This is the way existence wants you to be.- Osho
-
Don’t be bothered by perfection. Replace the word ‘Perfection’ by ‘Totality'. Totality will give you a different dimension.- Osho
-
Remain alert about your blindness, about your fear, about your ignorance, and just your alertness will dispel the whole darkness of blindness, of fear, of ignorance.- Osho
-
Grace is a by-product of meditation. The more silent you become inside, the more graceful you become on the outside.- 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
-
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.- Osho
-
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.- Osho
-
Don't choose. Accept life as it is in it's totality.- Osho
-
The moment you become innocent, you have found a direct line to the divine. Your heartbeat synchronizes with the heartbeat of the universe.- Osho
-
If you want to get rid of misery, get rid of the lust for happiness. And when there is no misery, there is happiness.- 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
-
Your trust in the total opens all your sensitivities to their extreme. This whole existence becomes a sheer dance, a sheer celebration.- 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
-
Love is the goal, life is the journey.- Osho
-
Always off with the river of life. Never try to go against the current, and never try to go faster than the river. Just move in absolute relaxation.- Osho
-
Once I was on a journey and someone asked me which word in a man’s vocabulary was the most valuable. My reply was, Love.- Osho
-
If you deceive someone, you lose one of life’s greatest treasures, the capacity to trust. Without trust, love is not possible.- Osho
-
Just a little detachment from the ego is needed.- Osho
-
You are simply a witness, no judgment, no evaluation, but a pure silent witnessing like a mirror.- Osho
-
Go beyond the mind — and the way beyond the mind is very simple — just become a watcher of the mind.- 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
-
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 moment you accept yourself, you become beautiful.- 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
-
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
-
The ultimate state of love is freedom, absolute freedom, and any relationship that destroys freedom is not worthwhile.- 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
-
I don’t believe in nationalism, and I don’t believe in any religion. I believe in the individual and his happiness.- Osho
-
All leadership is misleading, and to guide is to misguide. Buddha was not a guide and Buddha was not a leader.- 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
-
Once you know yourself, there is no death. Death was only in your ignorance.- Osho
-
Be ordinary. Nothing is wrong with ordinariness, because in your very ordinariness you are extraordinary.- 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, only stupid people will cling to small things. Be oceanic.- Osho
-
Death is a quantum jump from one body, from one form into another form. But it is not an end to you.- 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
-
Meditation is an understanding that desires don't lead anywhere.- Osho
-
As you become more and more sensitive, more and more sensuous, you will see more and more beauty around deeper you’re in side, the greater the beauty.- Osho
-
Any meditation that is of worth will be alive even in the marketplace. Because a marketplace is nothing once you attain to the meditative state.- Osho
-
A truth cannot be read in a scripture, a truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.- Osho
-
Don’t postpone anything beautiful for tomorrow. Live intensely, live totally, here and now.- Osho
-
If you can say yes with the totality of your heart, you have said all that can be said. To say yes to existence is to be religious.- Osho
-
We come alone into this world, we go alone.- Osho
-
Oneness is the key.- 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
-
Meditation is perhaps the master key for all our problems.- Osho
-
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously; then there will not be any darkness.- Osho
-
Life is very precious and the greatest treasure is hidden in it – and that treasure is of becoming a witness.- 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
-
Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.- Osho
-
Love is the radiance, the fragrance of knowing oneself, of being oneself.- Osho
-
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.- 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
-
If you love yourself, you will be surprised: others will love you. Nobody loves a person who does not love himself.- Osho
-
Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. . . . Easy is right means natural is right, effortlessness is right, egolessness is right.- 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
-
NOW is the only reality. All else is either memory or imagination.- Osho
-
Sadness comes, joy comes, and everything passes by. What remains always is the witness. The witness is beyond all polarities.- Osho
-
Enlightenment is nothing but your consciousness being concentrated on a single point — now and here.- Osho
-
There is no need to run towards the ocean. Just slowly enjoy the trees, and the birds, and the people, having a trust in your heart that every river has always reached the ocean. And you cannot be the exception. Existence does not allow any exceptions. You will also reach the ocean.- Osho
-
One day you will disappear on a funeral pyre – just into nothingness, as smoke. Don’t get attached to anything.- 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
-
A happy person needs no temple, no church--because for a happy person the whole universe is a temple, the whole existence is a church.- Osho
-
Desire disappears as you become more and more aware. When awareness is one hundred percent, there is no desire at all.- Osho
-
You have to drop all your defenses, only then is intimacy possible. We are all hiding a thousand and one things, not only from others but from ourselves.- Osho
-
The new man will live out of meditation, out of consciousness, out of his own inner light. The new man will be an individual.- Osho
-
Nobody can teach you love. Love you have to find yourself, within your being, by raising your consciousness to higer levels.- Osho
-
Drop envy and jealousy, otherwise there is no possibility — because love cannot exist where envy and jealousies exist.- 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
-
A man who lives life in its totality is a rainbow; he lives the whole spectrum of it.- 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
-
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
-
The only refuge is the perfection of wisdom, the perfection of meditation.- 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
-
I don’t have a goal, because existence has no goal. It simply is, flowering, blossoming, dancing – but don’t ask why. Just an overflow of energy, for no reason at all.- Osho
-
The whole search of religion is for that witness: how to find that which is real.- Osho
