Heart doesn’t know what doubt is, heart doesn’t know what believe is – heart simply knows trust.
– Osho
Experience life in all possible ways – good- bad, bitter- sweet, dark- light, summer- winter. Experience all the dualities. Don’t be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become.
– Osho
Friendship is the purest love. It is the highest form of Love where nothing is asked for, no condition, where one simply enjoys giving.
– Osho
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
– Osho
Be – don’t try to become.
– 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
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
A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.
– Osho
Frustrations come because we impose our illusions on reality.
– Osho
The less people know, the more stubbornly they know it.
– Osho
The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.
– Osho
In love the other is important; in lust you are important.
– Osho
Greed, desire, ambition, jealousy, possessiveness, domination – you have to watch everything. And they are all interconnected, remember. If greed disappears, then anger will disappear. If anger disappears, jealousy will disappear. If jealousy disappears, violence will disappear. If violence disappears, possessiveness will disappear. They are all intertwined. In fact, they are spokes of the same wheel, and the hub that supports them all is the ego. So watch the ways of the ego. Watching, watching, watching… one day suddenly it is not there. Only the watcher is left. That moment of pure watching is the moment of transformation.
– Osho
Don’t follow anybody’s footprints. Truth cannot be borrowed, neither can the path that somebody else has trodden.
– Osho
Drop envy and jealousy, otherwise there is no possibility – because love cannot exist where envy and jealousies exist. Then your search is only for a certain type of power: that in the name of love you are just trying to fulfill the ego. And it is arduous to drop, because love exists only when all the negative elements of the mind are dropped. It is very arduous.
– Osho
What is discipline? Discipline means creating an order within you. As you are, you are a chaos.
– Osho
In the East a man becomes divine only when he is no longer jealous, a man is thought to be enlightened only when he is no longer jealous. Jealousy is a by-product of the ego and when the ego disappears jealousy disappears. You cannot offend a buddha. Whatsoever you do you cannot offend him.
– Osho
Suffering is not holding you. You are holding suffering. When you become good at the art of letting sufferings go, then you’ll come to realize how unnecessary it was for you to drag those burdens around with you. You’ll see that no one else other than you was responsible. The truth is that existence wants your life to become a festival.
– Osho
Life begins where fear ends.
– Osho
Death is the greatest illusion of all.
– Osho
Because of jealousy you are in constant suffering; you become mean to others. And because of jealousy you start becoming phony, because you start pretending. You start pretending things that you don’t have, you start pretending things which you CAN’T have, which are not natural to you. You become more and more artificial. Imitating others, competing with others, what else can you do? If somebody has something and you don’t have it, and you don’t have a natural possibility of having it, the only way is to have some cheap substitute for it.
– Osho
If you go on condemning, your condemnation shows that somewhere there is a wound, and you are feeling jealous – because without jealousy there can be no condemnation. You condemn people because somehow, somewhere, unconsciously you feel they are enjoying themselves and you have missed.
– Osho
Nobody is superior, nobody is inferior, but nobody is equal either. People are simply unique, incomparable. You are you, I am I. I have to contribute my potential to life; you have to contribute your potential to life. I have to discover my own being; you have to discover your own being.
– Osho
My meditation is simple. It does not require any complex practices. It is simple. It is singing. It is dancing. It is sitting silently
– Osho
Nobody has the power to take two steps together; you can take only one step at a time.
– Osho
Millions of people are suffering: they want to be loved but they don’t know how to love.
– Osho
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.
– Osho
Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.
– 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.
– Osho
Drop jealousy and love wells up. Jealousy means that I am the owner. It is an ego trip, and wherever there is ego there is poison, and the poison kills the very source of love. One has to become aware of just these few things and discard them and one’s life becomes a lotus of love. And then there is no need to go in any search of god, god will come in search of you. This is my observation, that god always comes seeking the true seeker. Whenever the disciple is ready the master appears.
– Osho
There is no need of any competition with anybody. U R yourself, and as U R, U R perfectly good. Accept urself.
– Osho
