Osho Quotes
- The man of true understanding has no
judgments; he simply loves. Whether you are a saint or a sinner is
not his business.
- I am neither for anything, nor against
anything. My whole approach is that you should find a deep, relaxed
contentment with yourself and existence.
- People are afraid to relax. People are
afraid to trust. People are afraid of tears. People are afraid of
anything out of the ordinary, out of the mundane. They resist, and
in their resistance they dig their own grave and they never come to
juicy moments, to ecstatic experiences, which are their right; they
just have to claim them.
- Unless a man is happy, simply happy, for
no reason at all, unless a man is mad enough to be happy without any
reason, a man is not going to be happy ever. You will always find
something destroying your happiness. You will always find something
missing, something absent. And that missing will become your
daydream again.
- In all your desires you are seeking a
state of contentment. But desires cannot bring it. Desires create
more ripples on your lake. Desires create more restlessness in you.
- Life without meditation is simply
vegetating. You can be different vegetables. Somebody is a cabbage,
somebody is a cauliflower.... A cauliflower is only a cabbage with
college degrees, not much difference. But to live truly, you have to
know yourself.
- My sannyasin has a new definition; it is
not the definition of the old. In the old definition sannyas meant
renouncing the world. My sannyas means rejoicing in the world. But
before you can rejoice, you should accumulate energy so much that
you start overflowing with love, sensitivity, creativity, poetry,
song, dance....
- The ego is very cunning in that way: it
goes on finding supports, props, new pastures to feed itself on. If
you fail, you blame circumstances. If you succeed, it is you who
have succeeded. If you fail it is fate, kismet; if you fail it is
the society, the ugly society. If you fail, it is the cunning
people, the cunning competitors. But if you succeed, you succeed.
- Sannyas is a revolt against all societies
and all cultures and all civilizations, for the simple reason that
they are against the individual.
I am absolutely for the individual.
- Willpower has been used to create a false
personality in you. Willpower is another beautiful name for the ugly
entity called ego.
- Watch the ways of the ego. Go on watching.
There is no need to fight for, no need to fight against; there is
only just one need: to watch and be aware of how the ego functions,
its mechanism. And slowly, slowly out of that awareness, one day the
ego is found no more. Because the ego can exist only in unawareness.
When awareness comes and the light comes, the ego disappears like
darkness. And then there is freedom. That freedom knows no ego.
