Osho Quotes
- The fool lives in time, the wise man lives
in timelessness.
The fool lives in mind, the wise man lives in no-mind.
- Every moment, everything is changing. And
there is no permanent thing.
- Trust is the bridge between you and
existence. Trust is the purest form of love, and once trust is lost,
love also becomes impossible.
- To raise your consciousness, you will have
to drop this ego and you will have to drop all this imagination and
you will have to drop this mind which is playing tricks with you.
Mind is so tricky and plays such games, so convincing to you. That's
why the whole humanity goes on living in misery.
- Don't treat persons as a means, they are
ends unto themselves. Relate to them -- in love, in respect. Never
possess them and never be possessed by them. Don't be dependent on
them and don't make persons around you dependent. Don't create
dependence in any way; remain independent and let them remain
independent.
- Meditation is a state of no-mind.
Meditation means the mind has stopped. Just you are, pure
consciousness, simple awareness; all the dimensions are available to
you. So it is just the opposite of concentration.
- The dimension of the vertical is a totally
different phenomenon: you jump out of mind. That's what meditation
is all about: you get out of the mind, you get out of the past and
the future, you get out of time. You are no more thinking, you are
no more dreaming, you are no more desiring. There is no memory, no
imagination. All is silent.
- My sannyas is not that of renunciation.
You are not asked to renounce the world, you are only asked to
renounce the mind. Live in the world and enjoy the world and be in
it -- it is divine. Just drop this hankering for more. And suddenly
this very earth is paradise and this very body the Buddha.
- All is perfectly okay. One needs to relax
and enjoy; and in those moments of relaxation and joy, you will
become aware of the precious treasure within you: the bliss pearl.
- Meditativeness is essential. To be silent,
to be still, just to be alert, aware: that is the first step, the
door into the essential. And once you have found in deep, profound
since what you are meant to be, you have found your destiny. And
then life has a sense of direction not imposed by others but
discovered by yourself.
- This is the whole secret of enlightenment:
it happens in relaxation, it happens in a deep state of rest.
Surrender means relaxing. Ego means tension, carrying a load of
anxiety, and unnecessarily.
- The ego is goal-oriented. The ego is
hankering for the future. It can hanker even for the other life, it
can hanker for heaven, it can hanker for nirvana. It doesn't matter
what it hankers for -- hankering is what it is, desiring is what it
is, projecting into the future is what it is.
- We can change the whole world, but not by
struggle -- not this time. Enough is enough! We have to change this
world by celebrating, by dancing, by singing, by music, by
meditation, by love, not by struggle.
- I am not serious at all because existence
is not serious. It is so playful, so full of song and so full of
music and so full of subtle laughter. It has no purpose; it is not
business-like. It is pure joy, sheer dance, out of overflowing
energy.
