Osho Quotes
- Real music is born out of a silent mind.
Real music is meditation manifested.
- At the innermost core of your being you
are always a watcher.
- Contentment is possible only when you move
into your state of being, when you become a no-mind. Contentment is
the flavor of no-mind.
- If you are in love, love totally, so
nothing remains hanging. Otherwise, that hanging, incomplete
experience, that unlived experience, will haunt you. These unlived
experiences go on piling up and they become heavy burdens.
- Remember, to me, creativity means
meditativeness, creativity means a state of no-mind -- then God
descends in you, then love flows out of you. Then something happens
out of your well-being, overflowing well-being. It is a blessing.
Otherwise it is a vomit.
- If you are going deeper in your alertness,
if you are aware, and your awareness is becoming more and more
crystallized, everything will go on becoming more and more right. A
moment comes when you cannot conceive how to commit a mistake; you
cannot conceive how to be cruel, how to be unkind, how to be
violent, how to be inhuman.
- Sex is felt like a humiliation. In sex you
start feeling you are losing your dignity, hence the pain. And then
the fulfillment is so momentary; sooner or later any intelligent
person will become aware that the satisfaction is momentary and
followed by long nights of pain. The ecstasy is just like a breeze,
it comes and goes and leaves you in a desertlike state, utterly
frustrated, disappointed. You had hoped much; many things were
promised by the instinctual part of you, and nothing has been
delivered.
- To be characterless, to be unprincipled,
and to live in the moment... just as the mirror reflects whatsoever
is in front of the mirror, your consciousness reflects and you act
out of that reflection. That is awareness, that is meditativeness,
that is samadhi, that is innocence, that is godliness, that is
buddhahood.
- The Zen Master lives in the ordinary life,
just as everybody else, but lives in an extraordinary way, with a
totally new vision, with great exquisiteness, with tremendous
sensitivity, with awareness, watchfulness, meditativeness,
spontaneity. There is nothing as sacred in Zen, there is nothing as
mundane. All is one, indivisibly one; you cannot divide it as
mundane and sacred.
- My work is to make you more and more
thirsty -- so thirsty that one day, you take a jump into your own
nothingness, and disappear. Your disappearance is your
enlightenment.
- Looking inside is meditation -- just pure
looking inwards, a turning of the eyes inwards one hundred and
eighty degrees, and you have arrived home. Not a single step has to
be taken, because you are not going anywhere; you are simply coming
from here to here. You are already there where you need to be, just
you are not aware. Hence, meditation can be called awareness,
watchfulness, alertness, witnessing -- but it is not thinking.
- Being aware is simply being aloof, but
alert. Whatever the mind is doing, let it do; whatever is going on
in the mind, let it be. You simply be out of it. You should not be a
participant -- that's all that is needed, and mind dies its own
death.
