Osho Quotes
- Religion is simply another name of
meditation.
- A religious person is a person of no mind,
no belief. A religious person is a person of trust.
- There is only one search -- to find
yourself -- and for that you need not go anywhere else. For that you
have to withdraw from all your desires, ambitions, goals. You have
to come back home.
- Meditation is nothing but annihilation of
the mind. Meditation is not the training of the mind: Meditation is
simply cessation of the mind. Just cease to be a mind, and you will
find a pure being, unpolluted and pure from eternity to eternity.
- The whole idea of hurry is a creation of
the mind. Let me say it in this way: mind and time are synonymous;
the moment your mind stops, time also stops. The more you are in
your mind the more you are in time; the less you are in your mind
the more you are out of time.
- Enlightenment is not something that has to
be achieved, it is something that is your very nature.
- Mind is never where you are: awareness is
always there where you are. Drop more and more mind, and minding,
and become more and more aware and alert. Bring yourself together in
the moment.
- Meditation, witnessing, silently sitting
and looking at the mind, will be of much help. Not forcing, simply
sitting and looking. Not doing much, just watching as one watches
birds flying in the sky. Just Lying down on the ground and watching,
nothing to do, indifferent. Not your concern really, where they are
going; they are going on their own.
- The search for truth is not an active
search, it is a deep passivity -- in your deep passivity you will
receive. But if you become too active and concerned, you will miss.
It is like being a womb, it is feminine, you receive the truth as a
woman receives a pregnancy.
- To be near a master is to be just a
passivity, absorbing whatsoever the master gives or whatsoever the
master is -- not asking. The moment you start asking you have become
aggressive, the receptivity is lost, you have become active. The
passive, the feminine, is no longer there. Nobody has ever reached
the truth as a male -- aggressive, violent. That's not possible. You
reach very silently. In fact, you wait and truth reaches you. The
truth seeks you, like water seeks some hollow ground, moves
downwards, finds a place, and becomes a lake.
- Just look: happiness, unhappiness,
sadness, joy, they come and go, they are beggars around you. The
witnessing remains the very center, uncaused, unchanging, one. Seek
that within you and then everything becomes clear. When you are
clear within, everything is transparent. The truth is everywhere
around you, only you have to become one.
- The danger is not to live in totality and
intensity, not to make your life a dance, a celebration.
