It is going to be arduous, but you have to start becoming responsible for your own life.

All waiting is futile, all waiting is sheer wastage.

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

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 opens the door of your eternal aloneness.
- Osho

- Osho
Celebration is my attitude, unconditional to what life brings.

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
Be ordinary. Nothing is wrong with ordinariness, because in your very ordinariness you are extraordinary.

- 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.

Tomorrow-drop that word from your vocabulary! Tomorrow does not exist, it cannot exist: it is not in the nature of things. Only this day exists.

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.

There is no other miracle in the world than meditation. It is the only science of transforming you into a new man. Into a superman. The superman is needed very much, urgently, because only the superman can prevent this beautiful planet from being destroyed by pygmy politicians, by ugly religions. All these vested interests are going to destroy the most beautiful planet in the universe. You can do only one thing to save it, and that is to become a Buddha and spread your Buddhahood - share it.

Whenever you act according to your own light, there is immense fulfilment, and deep rejoicing.

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.

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.

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.

These ten non-commandments constitute my basic attitude towards reality, towards man's freedom from all kinds of spiritual slavery.

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.

Love lives in waiting – dies in meeting, becomes ordinary.

My people worship, but not in a church. They worship the beauty of existence.

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.

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.

Let the light dispel your inner darkness, your inner weakness. Let love make you a tremendous power, a spiritual force.

If you really want peace on earth, create peace in your heart, in your being. That is the right place to begin with and then spread.
- Osho
Drop envy and jealousy, otherwise there is no possibility — because love cannot exist where envy and jealousies exist.
- Osho
Absence of consciousness is ego. Whenever the ego is absent, Love is present.
- Osho
My meditation is a method of being aware — of whatever you are doing, thinking, feeling.
- Osho
Religion has nothing to do with churches and temples and rituals: religion is born only when somebody pulsates with love.

Love is not manageable, it is simply something that happens, and the moment you try to manage it everything misfire.
- Osho
I would like marriage to disappear completely from the world, and with marriage, divorce will disappear.
- Osho
Whenever you punish somebody you are punishing yourself. Whenever you torture somebody you are torturing yourself — because there is nobody else.

Out of love, everything is right. Love is the magic that transforms everything into right.
- Osho
Insecurity is beautiful. And the day you know insecurity is beautiful, you have know the wisdom if insecurity.
- Osho
Suffering cannot exist without your support. Just withdraw your support, and suffering disappears.
- 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
Unless you recognize your original face, you will not be able to reach anywhere. You will not have any meaning to your Life.
- 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
Hate can very easily turn into love, just as love can turn into hate. They are two sides of the same coin.
- Osho
In my vision, the thing that man needs first and foremost is a meditative consciousness.
- 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
Nobody can teach you love. Love you have to find yourself, within your being, by raising your consciousness to higer levels.
- Osho
Life is a musical instrument, and awareness is its greatest music.
- Osho
There is no greater ecstasy than to know who you are.
- 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
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.
- Osho
When I say be creative I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.
- Osho
If you are aware, you cannot be angry, because anger can exist only in a state of unawareness; that is a prerequisite for anger to exist.
- Osho
Reaction is always unconscious; and response is always conscious.
- Osho
They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then think as much as you want!
- Osho
A man is successful if he follows his own natural way and lives it as totally and intensely as possible.
- Osho
First be a disciple; don't try to be a master. Mastership will come.
- Osho
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.
- Osho
To discover your being is the beginning of life. Then each moment is a mew discovery, each moment brings a new joy; a new mystery opens its doors.
- 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
Why limit yourself to small things! When the whole is available, only stupid people will cling to small things. Be oceanic!
- Osho
Life is in understanding your innermost being. Because only then can you become a constantly overflowing source of beauty, love and joy.
- Osho
Mind is something unnatural; it never becomes your natural state. But meditation is a natural state — which we have lost.
- Osho
On the path nothing more is needed than Patience
- 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
Where silence and awareness meet, mingle and become one, there is receptivity. Receptivity is the most important religious quality.
- Osho
By ‘Love’ people mean a certain kind of monopoly understanding a simple fact: that the moment you possess a living being you have killed him.
- 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
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
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
If you want life, then for life there is no fixed road. Life is here and now, multi-dimensional, spreading in every direction.
- Osho
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
Unless you love yourself, you can’t love anybody. Be selfish.
- Osho
To me, this is the only strength, the only power – that we can transform life, we can transform consciousness.
- Osho
Consciousness is never judgmental. Consciousness is only a mirror.
- Osho
The only alternative is to be more conscious, more alert, more alive, more loving — and create a new world with a new man, bring a new dawn to humanity.
- Osho
Love can never possess. Love is giving freedom to the other. Love is an unconditional gift, it is not a bargain.
- Osho
To be here and now, you have to be in meditation, beyond mind.
- Osho
Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.
- 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
The knowledgeable person lives with a question mark ‘?’ and the man of awe and wonder lives with an exclamation mark.
- Osho
It is very rare to find a person who accepts himself – because the moment he accepts himself, he is reborn.
- 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
Unless the truth is your own experience, whatever you believe about truth is only a belief. And all beliefs are lies, and all believers are blind.
- Osho
Watch, witness. Your body is not you; your mind is not you. You are just a pure witness.
- Osho
Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. Only false religion has rules, because false religion is a game.
- Osho
Desire disappears as you become more and more aware. When awareness is one hundred percent, there is no desire at all.
- Osho
Only authentic human beings can create a society which will be joyous, ecstatic, and in the real sense, human.
- 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
Don’t pay much attention to fear, because that is dangerous. If you pay much attention to fear you are feeding it, and it will grow.
- 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
Once you let go nothing dies, only the ego. You remain forever and ever.
- Osho
The freedom from something is not true freedom. The freedom to do anything you want to do is also not the freedom I am talking about. My vision of freedom is to be yourself.
- Osho
No-mind is not against mind: no-mind is beyond mind.
- 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
Enlightenment is the understanding that this is all, that this is perfect, that this is it. Enlightenment is not an achievement, it is an understanding that there is nothing to achieve, nowhere to go.
- Osho
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
You will come closer and closer to perfection, but you will never be perfect. Perfection is not the way of existence. Growth is the way.
- 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
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.
- 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
Love is life, love is god, love is sannyas.
- 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
You should live in the world but remain untouched by it. You should remain in the world, but the world should not remain in you.
- Osho
Love, sing; dance not as a competitor, but as a man who wants to share his joy, his songs and his dances with his fellow human beings.
- Osho
I am not a messiah and I am not a prophet. I am only a friend, and a friend cannot do what you are asking me to do. What commandments can I give you? No, none. I cannot tell you what to do and what not to do.
- Osho
Truth is not found by knowledge, it is found by silence. And knowledge is noisy.
- Osho
Aloneness is a flower, a lotus blooming in your heart. Aloneness is positive, aloneness is health.
- Osho
It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love, or how you love, it matters only that you love.
- Osho
Grace is a by-product of meditation. The more silent you become inside, the more graceful you become on the outside.
- Osho
Western man is missing the flowering of life because he knows nothing about meditation, and Eastern man is missing because he knows nothing of love.
- 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
My teaching is very simple: meditation is the key, becoming totally aware is the result. Experiencing oneness with the whole is the reward.
- Osho
Love is the ultimate, the end. You love for love’s own sake. It is not a means to anything else, it is its own end.
- 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
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
Money, power, and prestige are uncreative; not only uncreative but destructive activities. Beware of them!!
- Osho
Meditation is an understanding that desires don't lead anywhere.
- 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
Love is the radiance, the fragrance of knowing oneself, of being oneself.
- Osho
Once you know meditation, you don’t have to follow anybody. You have your own eyes open, and you have your light just ahead of you showing the path.
- Osho
Love need two things: it has to be rooted in freedom and it has to know the art of trust.
- 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
The more empty you become, the more you will be able to receive my vibrations, my heartbeat, my song, the more you will be able to dance in tune with me—and that is the only right way to spread the message. Because the message is not of language; the message is of being, of experience.
- Osho
Thinking is a very low activity; it is of the mind. Meditation is the highest within you; it is beyond mind.
- Osho
Be realistic: Plan for a miracle.
- Osho
If your heart says to take the jump, then take the jump, then risk, then be adventurous.
- Osho
The moment you accept youself you become beautiful.
- Osho
Wherever you are, reality is. You are part of reality and you exist only as an organic part to reality. You cannot go away. You cannot separate yourself.
- 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
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
My enlightenment has freed me from everything, including enlightenment.
- 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
We are not interested in going to paradise; We are interested in making the paradise come here.
- Osho
If meditation really happens, whatsoever the cause, compassion has to follow.
- Osho
If you live with love, through love, you will live a great life, because love makes everything great.
- 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
Be like an alone peak high in the sky. Why should you hanker to belong? You are not a thing! Things belong!
- Osho
You are too much identified with the false, the personality.
- 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
Your marriage is a subtle politics of domination. Your fatherhood, motherhood, is a subtle politics.
- Osho
Religion is the greatest creativity because it is an effort to give birth to yourself, to become a father and mother to yourself, to be born again.
- Osho
There is no other god than life. So allow yourself to be possessed by life in all its forms, colors, dimensions – the whole rainbow, all the notes of music.
- 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
Love makes you wise but never knew. Knowledge makes you cunning and clever but never loving.
- Osho
The less the head, the more the wound will heal. No head there is no wound. Live a headless life. Move as a total being, and accept things.
- Osho
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.
- Osho
Only a blind man can easily define what light is. When you do not know, you are bold. Ignorance is always bold; knowledge hesitates. And the more you know, the more you feel that the ground underneath is dissolving. The more you know, the more you feel how ignorant you are.
- Osho
A woman is one of the most beautiful phenomena in the world; not to be compared with anything else. The woman is the masterpiece of god.
- Osho
The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.
- Osho
Forget about getting, simply give; and I guarantee you, you will get much.
- Osho
My function is very different from the function of Gautam Buddha. His function is only a small part of my philosophy. I want individuals to become enlightened, but I want also the whole of humanity to rise with the enlightened people. They may not become enlightened, but at least become conscious enough so that nations disappear, religions disappear, races disappear, and we can live as one humanity, as one earth.
- Osho
With fear, hate, jealousy-anything whatsoever- don’t create a problem out of it. Accept it, allow it, pass through it, and you will defeat all suffering.
- 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
To go beyond judgements of good and bad is the way of watchfulness. And it is through watchfulness that transformations happen.
- Osho
Darkness is an absence of light. Ego is an absence of awareness.
- Osho
Laughter is a tremendously helpful method to shake off all dust that everybody gathers without his knowing.
- Osho
To create guilt, all that you need is a very simple thing: start calling mistakes, errors sins. They are simply mistakes, human.
- Osho
Whenever you plan for love, whenever deliberateness enters into it it becomes phony and false.
- Osho
Love never should be forced, love never should be an attempt. It should not be in the mind at all - If it happens, then it is beautiful.
- Osho
Do meditation without thinking of any result, enjoy meditating as an end in itself. And then some day the light explodes, the ego disappears.
- 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
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
Get out of your head and get into your heart. Think less, feel more.
- Osho
I have no wish to placate you with false, hollow and worthless words exhorting you to love mankind. The so-called religions have said these things to you for generations. I am here to urge you to love real men, to love your fellow beings - not mankind but the men who live and work around you. Humanity is just a word; mankind is just a label. You cannot find humanity or mankind anywhere. And so humanity is easy to love because the only thing you have to do is mouth a few platitudes.
- Osho
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
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
Make laughter your prayer. Laugh more. Nothing releases your blocked energies as doe’s laughter. Nothing makes you innocent as doe’s laughter.
- 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
Remember it is not only you who are seeking truth – truth is also seeking you.
- Osho
Only laughter makes a man rich, but the laughter has to be blissful.
- Osho
If you can trust nature, by and by you become quiet, silent, happy, joyful, celebrating—because nature is celebrating. Nature is a celebration.
- Osho
Ambition is insanity. Ambition shows that you are not at ease with yourself, that you are not at home.
- Osho
Bravery does not mean being fearless. It means to be full of fear but still not being dominated by it.
- Osho
Bliss needs to be shared; it exists only in sharing.
- Osho
A woman is to be loved, not understood.
- 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
Truth can never be borrowed from anybody.
- Osho
When you are Yourself, There is Truth, there is Beauty, There is Grace, there is Ecstasy.
- 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
Respect yourself, love yourself, because there has never been a person like you and there never will be again.
- 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
Drop comparing--and jealousy disappears, meanness disappears, phoniness disappears. But you can drop it only if you start growing your inner treasures.
- Osho
Paradise is within you, in your state of no-mind. And hell is also within you, in your very mind.
- 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
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
The deeper your love, The deeper is your life. Think of love and life as synonymous.
- 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
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
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
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
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 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
Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.
- Osho
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
Mind is the illusion that which is not but appears, and appears so much that you think that you are the mind.
- Osho
All ambition is politics, all struggle to be the first is politics. A non-struggling, non conflicting mind is religious.
- Osho
I want to leave you alone, absolutely alone, so that you cannot take anybody's help, so you cannot cling to any prophet, so that you cannot think that Gautam Buddha is going to save you. Left alone ― utterly alone ― you are bound to find your innermost center.
- Osho
Life is for those who know how to celebrate.
- Osho
Sharing is the most precious religious experience. Sharing is good.
- Osho
Intelligence never grows by imitation: Intelligence grows by experimentation. Intelligence grows by taking challenges.
- 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
Be herenow… just this moment.
- Osho
Continuously clean your mind of beliefs, concepts, theories, ideas, ideologies, philosophies, doctrines, scriptures… Then the reality will be revealed to you.
- 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
