All waiting is futile, all waiting is sheer wastage.- 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

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?

You become more divine as you become more creative. All the religions of the world have said God is the creator.

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.

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.

The poison can become medicinal - you have to know how to transform it. And sometimes the nectar can be poisonous - if you dint know how to use it.- 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.- 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
-
When sadness comes, just sit by the side and look at it and say, I am the watcher, I am not sadness.- 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

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

Love makes you wise but never knew. Knowledge makes you cunning and clever but never loving.- Osho

Meditation is something natural, something that is already hidden inside you and is trying to find its way to reach to the open sky, to the sun, to the air.- Osho
-
Drop comparing--and jealousy disappears, meanness disappears, phoniness disappears. But you can drop it only if you start growing your inner treasures.- Osho

If you are sad you are wrong; if you are joyful you are right.- Osho

Remember it is a very fundamental law. You may not get something that you want, but you always get that which you need. Somehow the universe goes on fulfilling your needs; you may understand, you may not understand.- 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

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
-
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

Every man has the potential to become enlightened. If he does not become, he is responsible — nobody else is responsible for it.- 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
-
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
-
Understanding is only that which has been experienced by the person himself.- Osho
-
Man is born only as a potential. He can become a thorn for himself and for others, he can also become a flower for himself and for others.- 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
-
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
-
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

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.- Osho
-
Be like an alone peak high in the sky. Why should you hanker to belong? You are not a thing! Things belong!- 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
-
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
-
Your marriage is a subtle politics of domination. Your fatherhood, motherhood, is a subtle politics.- 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
-
To fight with the mind is to give it reality, to recognize its power. There is no need to fight. One has just to be a witness. Without any fight, just being a witness, mind disappears.- Osho

The word devil is very beautiful, if you read it backwards it becomes lived. That which is lived becomes divine and that which is not lived becomes the devil.- Osho
-
I am not doing any serious work. I am not doing work at all; it is my joy to share with you. Now, what you do with it is your problem, not mine.- 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
-
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance. Buddha has defined compassion as love plus meditation.- Osho

Knowledge is borrowed; knowing is yours, your own. It is authentic, knowledge is information, and knowing is transformation.- Osho

-
When you are Yourself, There is Truth, there is Beauty, There is Grace, there is Ecstasy.- 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
-
You are simply a witness, no judgment, no evaluation, but a pure silent witnessing like a mirror.- Osho
-
Your trust in the total opens all your sensitivities to their extreme. This whole existence becomes a sheer dance, a sheer celebration.- Osho
-
Remember one thing: that you should not leave this earth unless you have made it a little more beautiful, a little lovelier, a little more loving.- Osho
-
Love is not manageable, it is simply something that happens, and the moment you try to manage it everything misfire.- Osho
-
Love means the art of being with others. Meditation means the art of being with yourself. Both are two aspects of the same coin.- Osho
-
Anger transformed becomes compassion. Sex transformed becomes prayer. Greed transformed becomes sharing.- 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
-
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously; then there will not be any darkness.- 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

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
-
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
-
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
-
Remember, all great values are killed the moment you cling to them. And no great value can be imitated.- Osho
-
Commit as many mistakes as possible, remembering only one thing: don’t commit the same mistake again. And you will be growing.- Osho
-
Whatsoever you are doing, all doing has to become peripheral and a constant search for truth and a constant thirst for truth have to become your very center.- 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
-
Your honesty, Your love, Your compassion should come from your inner being, not from teachings and scriptures.- Osho

-
When I say that you are Gods and Goddesses I mean that your possibility is infinite, your potentiality is infinite.- 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
-
When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.- Osho
-
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. The only false religion has rules because false religion is a game.- Osho

Conditional love is nothing but an infatuation, sexuality. Unconditional is the only way love can be.- Osho
-
Love need two things: it has to be rooted in freedom and it has to know the art of trust.- 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

If you live with love, through love, you will live a great life, because love makes everything great.- Osho

Intelligence is a natural phenomenon, every child is born intelligent.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.- 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
-
To go beyond judgements of good and bad is the way of watchfulness. And it is through watchfulness that transformations happen.- Osho
-
Bliss needs to be shared; it exists only in sharing.- Osho
-
Drop the idea that attachment and love are one thing. They are enemies. It is attachment that destroys all love.- Osho

Whenever you create something, you feel enhanced; you reach towards peaks; you get high. All people who are creative are close to religion.- 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
-
If whatsoever you have been living can be conveyed by words, that means you have not lived at all.- 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

If you can laugh totally, it will give you a moment of no-time, no-min. The mind lives logically with expectations, laughter is something that comes from the beyond.- Osho
-
To me, this is the only strength, the only power – that we can transform life, we can transform consciousness.- Osho
-
Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.- 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
-
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
-
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
-
All leadership is misleading, and to guide is to misguide. Buddha was not a guide and Buddha was not a leader.- Osho

Life is not a tragedy, it is a comedy. To be alive means to have a sense of humour.- Osho

A woman is to be loved, not understood.- 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

-
Where silence and awareness meet, mingle and become one, there is receptivity. Receptivity is the most important religious quality.- Osho

To love means to drop the ego, to drop yourself. Love means not to be.- Osho

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

Be true to yourself, and don't look at what others are saying. This is the only way to reach to the Divine, because it is the only way to be natural.- Osho

Dancing is not just a movement. When a movement becomes ecstatic then it is dance. When the movement is so total that there is no ego, then it is a dance.- Osho

-
When two lovers meet not out of some bondage but out of freedom, there is benediction.- Osho

-
Once you know yourself, there is no death. Death was only in your ignorance.- Osho
-
In my vision, the thing that man needs first and foremost is a meditative consciousness.- Osho

Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated.- 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
-
Thinking is a very low activity; it is of the mind. Meditation is the highest within you; it is beyond mind.- Osho
-
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.- 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
-
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
-
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

Happiness is an art that one has to learn. It has nothing to do with your doing or not doing.- Osho

-
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.- Osho

Relationship is the need of those who cannot be alone. Two alone persons relate, communicate, commune, and yet they remain alone.- Osho

Love is just like a breeze: it comes, but you should not close your doors to keep the breeze inside.- Osho
-
We are not interested in going to paradise; We are interested in making the paradise come here.- 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
-
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

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
-
Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love.- Osho
-
You are rich if you have tasted the nectar of your own consciousness. You are rich if you are capable of sharing your love unconditionally.- 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
-
The moment you believe in someone, you lose intelligence. Belief is almost like poison to your intelligence.- Osho
-
Please watch how you are clinging to your sorrow, your misery. Drop it, let go of it! And your life will have a great sweetness.- Osho
-
Love is ultimate, the highest health, because love makes one whole. When you love a master by and by you completely forgot about love.- Osho
