Osho Quotes
- Remember: I repeat again, truth is not a
question of logic, it is a search of a loving heart.
- A Buddha dies totally accepting. There is
no resistance, no fight between him and death.
- Meditation is only a methodology to make
you aware that your only disease is your ego, and your only health
is egolessness.
- A man of truth never asks you to believe.
He asks you to experiment, to experience.
- All your knowledge has to be dropped so
that you become knowing, so you get a perfection, a clarity, so that
your eyes are not filled with theses, or theories, with prejudices,
concepts; so your eyes have a clarity, an absolute clarity and
transparency, so that you can see. The truth is already there. It
has always been there.
- If you die consciously and are born
consciously you will know that there is no birth and no death, only
a body has been chosen. You remain the same, only the house changes.
If you change your old clothes, do you say this is a new birth, I am
born? No, because you have only changed the clothes; you remain the
same.
- Reverence for life says share, give your
joy, your love, your peace, your bliss. Whatsoever you can share,
share. If you are reverent towards life then it becomes a worship.
Then everywhere you feel God alive. Then watching a tree becomes
worship. Then feeding a guest becomes worship.
- Love the world, and don't be attached. Be
in the world, but don't be of the world -- that is what renunciation
is. That's what I call sannyas: a great harmony between love and
renunciation; a great harmony between this world and that; a great
harmony between God the creator, and the world, the created; a great
harmony between the body and the soul a great harmony, with no
conflict; the disappearance of all conflict.
- Meditation is something that you have to
grow within yourself. The only condition for growing it is dropping
the ego. Just enjoy whatever existence has made available here.
Dance it, sing it, laugh it, love it -- and forget all about
yourself. And it will happen; not to you -- but it will happen when
your idea of yourself is absent.
- The whole work of sannyas is to understand
the nature of desire. What is the nature of desire? First thing: it
always hankers for that which is not. Now, look into it, meditate
over it. This is the very nature of desire: asking for that which is
not. How can it be fulfilled? When you have it, your desire will
have moved away.
- I teach you the easy. I am not in favor of
any kind of unnecessary torture. If it is inevitable that is another
thing, but we have even been trying to make inevitable suffering
into a transformation. To me the easiest door is whatever you find
joyful. Dance, sing... and while dancing and singing, be aware.
Don't be lost and don't be identified. The old habit of the mind is
to be identified with anything. Whatever is happening the mind gets
immediately identified. The mind does not function like a mirror, it
functions like a film. Whatever comes in front of it becomes
imprinted on it. The mirror remains empty. People come and go, ups
and downs... the mirror does not lose itself in any identity.
