Osho talks on Meditation and Meditation Techniques - Osho Discourse

Avoid rationalizing your own errors and mistakes. Because if you rationalize, you protect them. Then they will be repeated.
- Osho
The whole search of religion is for that witness: how to find that which is real.
- Osho
If meditation really happens, whatsoever the cause, compassion has to follow.
- 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
Love equalizes people. You give because you love, you give because you respect. You give and allow the man to feel, to be honored, that is true giving.
- Osho
Don´t be unnecessarily burdened by the past. Go on closing the chapters that you have read; there is no need to go back again and again.

Walk Without Feet, Fly Without Wings and Think Without Mind.

- Osho
Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously… Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul.
- Osho
Sadness comes, joy comes, and everything passes by. What remains always is the witness. The witness is beyond all polarities.
- 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
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
Misery comes the moment you become clinging, attached. The moment you put conditions on life.
- Osho
A borrowed truth is the greatest lie in the world. Truth can only be true when it is based on your own experience, utterly your own experience.
- Osho
Every error is an opportunity to learn. Just do not commit the same mistake again and again-that is stupidity.

- 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
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.

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.

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
Life is not a tragedy, it is a comedy. To be alive means to have a sense of humour.
- 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
Forget about getting, simply give; and I guarantee you, you will get much.
- Osho

- Osho
Insecurity is beautiful. And the day you know insecurity is beautiful, you have know the wisdom if insecurity.

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
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
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
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
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
Life is a musical instrument, and awareness is its greatest music.
- Osho
Darkness is an absence of light. Ego is an absence of awareness.
- 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
Detach yourself from all fixed ideas; they are the killers of all aliveness and innocence-which are musts for illumination.
- Osho
I say to you: light the lamp of independent thinking. Don’t become a slave to anyone by accepting his thoughts. Truth belongs to those who are their own master.

Meditation is only a methodology to make you aware that your only disease is your ego, and your only health is agelessness.
- Osho
A man is successful if he follows his own natural way and lives it as totally and intensely as possible.
- 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
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 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
Just see how much respect God has paid to you. You are a masterpiece – unrepeatable, incomparable, utterly unique.
- 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
Intellect and meditation meeting together, growing together, give you the wholeness of being.
- 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
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
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.

When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised.

The real function of the Master is to give you encouragement. Just by his presence, his blissful life, peaceful life, creates a certain milieu in which you can move easily toward dropping your plannings, projects, and allowing existence to happen.

Whenever you plan for love, whenever deliberateness enters into it it becomes phony and false.

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

Absence of consciousness is ego. Whenever the ego is absent, Love is present.

When you love, love as if the person is a god, not less than that. Never love a woman as a woman and never love a man as a man.
- 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
If you enter heaven because other forced you to act according to certain precepts, certain commandments, you will regret even in heaven.

The existence loves you, otherwise you would not be here. Relax into your being, you are cherished by the whole.
- Osho
The moment you are interested in becoming somebody else you become complex. To be content with yourself as you are is simple.
- Osho
Only the individual can know what meditation is and only the individual can know the beauty, the ecstasy, and the dance of this immensely beautiful existence.
- 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.

Something disappears when you become aware, and something appears. Death disappears, deathlessness appears. The ego disappears, egolessness appears.
- 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.

why wait for reasons to laugh? Life as it is should be reason enough to laugh. it is so absurd. it is so ridiculous. it is so beautiful, so wonderful! it is all sorts of things together. it is a great cosmic joke. Laughter is the real religion. Everthing else is just metaphysics.
- 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
Beware! You are creating suffering every moment. By being unaware you create suffering; by being aware you create bliss.

To go beyond judgements of good and bad is the way of watchfulness. And it is through watchfulness that transformations happen.

Mind always creates duality.
- 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
Up to now, nobody has said that there is anything beyond enlightenment. That's why I say, I am a milestone. With me, a new chapter in the history of consciousness begins. Enlightenment will be now the beginning, not the end. Beginning of a non-ending process in all dimensions of richness.

- 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.

Man has to create himself. He is not ready- made, he is no given. And the creation has to be a self- creation – nobody else can make you.
- 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.

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.

Once you let go nothing dies, only the ego. You remain forever and ever.

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.

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.

Your marriage is a subtle politics of domination. Your fatherhood, motherhood, is a subtle politics.

- 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
Never ask, Who is my real friend? Ask, Am I a real friend to somebody? That is the right question. Always be concerned with yourself.

- 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
Life is a mystery, and there is nothing to explain everything is just open, it is in front of you. Encounter it! Meet it! Be courageous!

- 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
Once your awareness becomes a flame, it burns up the whole slavery that the mind has created.

Only laughter makes a man rich, but the laughter has to be blissful.

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.

Your honesty, Your love, Your compassion should come from your inner being, not from teachings and scriptures.

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.

Don't make me wholly responsible for your silence, because that will create a difficulty for you. Alone, what are you going to do? Then it becomes a kind of addiction, and I don't want you to be addicted to me. I don't want to be a drug to you.
- 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.

Renunciation follows awareness like a shadow.
- 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

The mind a beautiful servant, a dangerous master.

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
They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then think as much as you want!
- Osho
Just a little detachment from the ego is needed.
- Osho
Money, power, and prestige are uncreative; not only uncreative but destructive activities. Beware of them!!
- Osho
The greatest fear in the world is the opinion of others, and the moment you are unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.
- 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
You can either be creative, or you are bound to be destructive. You cannot remain neutral; either you have to affirm life with all its joys, or you start condemning life.
- Osho
Everything is beautiful if inside your heart there is awareness.
- Osho
Hate can very easily turn into love, just as love can turn into hate. They are two sides of the same coin.

- Osho
When you are not rushing anywhere and your inner being is just still, herenow, God reflects. Then all chaos disappears, all questions disappear.
- 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
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
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
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
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
The society is ill; individuals are victims. Society needs therapy; individuals simply need love. The society is the patient and needs hospitalization.
- Osho
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.
- 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
Life is in understanding your innermost being. Because only then can you become a constantly overflowing source of beauty, love and joy.
- Osho
My whole teaching is this, accept yourself, love yourself, and celebrate yourself.
- 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
Life cannot be possessed. You cannot have it in your fist. If you want to have it, you have to keep your hands open.
- 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
Don’t allow the fear to overpower you, allow love to overpower you. Love comes from the centre, fear always comes from the periphery.
- 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
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
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
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
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
Love happens when you are ready to share with another human being. Prayer happens when you are ready to share with God.
- Osho
Love is life, love is god, love is sannyas.
- Osho
Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.
- Osho
The only revolution possible is through taking the whole responsibility on yourself: I am the cause of my suffering. Hence I can be the cause of my bliss.
- Osho
I want every one of my sannyasins to be utterly unique.
- 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
Always choose the new, the less travelled by. Always choose the unknown, the less travelled by.
- 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
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
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
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
I teach meditation, because that is the only way to allow love to happen in your being.
- Osho
Be herenow… just this moment.
- Osho
My definition of meditation is that it is simply an effort to jump into the unconscious.
- Osho
If you are sad you are wrong; if you are joyful you are right.
- Osho
Love is not manageable, it is simply something that happens, and the moment you try to manage it everything misfire.
- Osho
This is the authentic trinity of a truly religious man: truth, beauty, and good. These three experiences happen when u enters into your own subjectivity.
- Osho
Old age is your own creation: it can be a misery, it can be a celebration; it can be simply a despair, and it can also be a dance. It all depends how deeply ready you are to accept existence, whatsoever it brings.
- 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.
- 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
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
Consciousness is never judgmental. Consciousness is only a mirror.
- Osho
Remember it is not only you who are seeking truth – truth is also seeking you.
- Osho
You are too much identified with the false, the personality.
- Osho
NOW is the only reality. All else is either memory or imagination.
- Osho
The only quality that buddha has is pure awareness, consciousness, witnessing. Witnessing is a key word for all meditators. Witness that you are not the body. Witness that you are not the mind. Witness that you are only a witness.
- Osho
If you deceive someone, you lose one of life’s greatest treasures, the capacity to trust. Without trust, love is not possible.
- Osho
The world of being is the only real world, the world of truth. And unless you have come to it, you on wandering in of rein lands. You can never come home.
- Osho
First face your own problem an counter then first try to transform your being, only a transformed person can process of transformation in trigger others.
- 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
Grace is a by-product of meditation. The more silent you become inside, the more graceful you become on the outside.
- 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
No thought, no mind, no choice — just being silent, rooted in yourself.
- Osho
Eat, taste the food, and still remember that you are the watcher.
- Osho
Don’t analyze, celebrate it.
- Osho
Your heaven and your happiness is always somewhere else; it is never where you are. Real happiness is always HERE, it is always NOW.
- Osho
Respect your life. Out of that respect you will start respecting life in others.
- Osho
The terrorism is not in the bombs, in your hands; the terrorism is in your unconscious.
- Osho
Love is just like a breeze: it comes, but you should not close your doors to keep the breeze inside.
- Osho
Freedom is the ultimate value in the human soul.
- 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
Dance as if this is the last dance. Dance with abandon, holding nothing back. That will bring transformation to your being, and a possibility of transformation for other people too.
- Osho
On the path nothing more is needed than Patience
- Osho
Your real being flowers only with love. Ambition is against love. Anything that is against love is against you and your real life, your real destiny.
- Osho
Misery is symbolic of unawareness ; Bliss is symbolic of awareness.
- Osho
The ego is just a useful fiction. Use it, but don't be deceived by it.
- Osho
Mind is a continuous thirst for more. It never finds fulfillment.
- 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
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. Only false religion has rules, because false religion is a game.
- 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
Don’t postpone anything beautiful for tomorrow. Live intensely, live totally, here and now.
- Osho
If a person can go into his sorrow deeply, he will find that all sorrow has evaporated. In that evaporation of sorrow is joy, is bliss.
- Osho
Only silence communicates the truth as it is.
- Osho
Sannyas is only a declaration. The work is meditation. In one single word, my religion is complete, and that is meditation.
- 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
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
Just look at life with more playful eyes. Don’t be serious. Seriousness becomes like a blindness. Don’t pretend to be a thinker, a philosopher. Just simply be a human being.
- 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
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
I don’t want you to worship Buddha’s; I want you to become Buddha’s. That is the only right worship. If you love become 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
Possessiveness destroys love. And they should not be possessed, because that again destroys your love.
- 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
I am not a psychoanalyst. I am not here to treat your minds and cure them. I am here to bring you out of your minds - healthy, unhealthy, neurotic, non-neurotic, it doesn't matter. I don't take any note of your mind, what kind of mind you have. Any kind of mind...you have to be taken out of it! So I don't go into the details, I simply start hammering!
- Osho
If your heart says to take the jump, then take the jump, then risk, then be adventurous.
- 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
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
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
Nobody should in any way interfere in anybody else’s life.
- Osho
Love brings freedom. And a love that does not bring freedom is not love.
- 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
Whenever there is no conflict between you and the whole, not even a rumor of conflict, you are healthy. To be whole is to be healthy.
- Osho
It cannot be called freedom, a freedom which can choose only the right and not the wrong; then that is not freedom.
- Osho
People say love is blind because they do not know what love is. I say unto you, only love has eyes; other than love, everything is blind.
- Osho
The lover is an emperor; the creator is an emperor – without invading the whole world. He has invaded the whole universe out of sheer loving creativity.
- 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
All ambition is politics, all struggle to be the first is politics. A non-struggling, non conflicting mind is religious.
- 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
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
Life is for those who know how to celebrate.
- Osho
Conditional love is nothing but an infatuation, sexuality. Unconditional is the only way love can be.
- 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
My effort is to continuously emphasize that meditation is nothing but watching the mind, understanding the mind, seeing all its subtle and cunning ways.
- Osho
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
There is only one thing that can make you an emperor and that is your own being. Just find it.
- Osho
We are not interested in going to paradise; We are interested in making the paradise come here.
- 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
It is very rare to find a person who accepts himself – because the moment he accepts himself, he is reborn.
- Osho
I want you to be independent and confident that you can attain these precious moments on your own.
- Osho
When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.
- Osho
The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.
- Osho
Life has no meaning. Rejoice! It has no meaning. Dance, sing, enjoy! It has no meaning. You need not be serious. It is a cosmic joke.
- 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
God is No Where, Life in Now Here.
- Osho
Love is not a higher quality than truth.
- Osho
To be a sannyasin means you will be allowing freedom to the children, you will not impose anything on them, you will not impose your ideas; you will NOT like them to become imitators. Sannyas is just symbolic of a great freedom!
- Osho
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.
- Osho
Desire disappears as you become more and more aware. When awareness is one hundred percent, there is no desire at all.
- Osho
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.
- Osho
Find godliness and good will come on its own accord. And when good comes on its own accord, it has a beauty, a grace, a simplicity, a humbleness.
- Osho
The moment you accept yourself, you become beautiful.
- 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
Growth means you are not moving in a circle, that something new is happening every day, every moment.
- Osho
The whole of life has to be your Temple; Work has to be your worship, Love has to be your prayer. This very body the Buddha, This very earth the Lotus Paradise.
- Osho
My whole teaching is just be yourself, never interfere with anybody elses freedom. Freedom is my ultimate value.
- Osho
Be less of a judge and you will be surprised that when you become a witness and you don’t judge yourself, you stop judging others too. And that makes you more human, more compassionate, more understanding.
- Osho
Don't get tempted. Don't advise unless you really know. Don't guide.
- 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
Nobody else can destroy you except you; nobody else can save you except you. You are the Judas and you are the Jesus.
- Osho
Love is true only when it does not interfere in the privacy of the other person. It respects his individuality, his privacy.
- Osho
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
You cannot destroy inner emptiness. It is your very being. You can cover it with things, but sooner or later you will have to encounter it. And it is better if you encounter it sooner.
- Osho
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.
- Osho
Paradise is within you, in your state of no-mind. And hell is also within you, in your very mind. The choice is yours. You can move from the mind to no-mind; the bridge is witnessing.
- Osho
Live the day and live the night too. Dont miss anything. Make your life such a complimentary whole that everything fits together and makes it a piece of art.
- Osho
Contentment is a quality of your centre; it is not found on the circumference. Fulfillment is when you have arrived at your real, authentic being.
- 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
Love brings freedom. Loyalty brings slavery.
- Osho
Once you have tasted the juice of the present, you don’t care about dangers. Once you are in tune with life then nothing matter. Life all there is.
- 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
Your politicians, priests, parents, they all are guilt-creators, because that is the only way that you can be controlled and manipulated.
- 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
