Unless you become alert
“Unless you become alert and aware in life, unless you change the quality of your living, you will not die consciously. And only a conscious death can bring you to a conscious birth; and then a far more conscious life opens its doors.”- Osho
What is life?
“God has not to happen to you. God has happened because you are alive. What is life? Who is breathing in you and who is conscious in you? God is not to be known, God is the knower. God is not the object that you have to see, God is the SEER in you. This is the most fundamental thing I would like you to remember.” – Osho
True religion
“Anything that makes you festive, anything that gives you celebration, anything that makes you dance and sing to such an extent that you disappear in your dancing, in your singing, in your celebration…is the only true religion I know of.” – Osho
“If a disciple is ready, even a dead master can be alive
“If a disciple is ready, even a dead master can be alive. If a disciple is not ready, then even a living master cannot do anything. It all depends on the disciple.” – Osho
The door to life is not logic but love
“Life cannot be approached through logic. The door to life is not logic but love.
Anything that makes one serious is part of death. Anything that makes one sing, dance, laugh, love, is part of life.” – Osho
We can sing, we can dance
“We have nothing to offer to existence but we can sing, we can dance. We can transform our whole life into a song, into a dance, into a festival; and that is the only offering to existence.” – Osho
Love with life
“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it” – Osho
A search for the inner light
“Let sannyas be a search for the inner sky, a search for the inner light, a search for inner infinity, endlessness, eternity. It is possible, it is within our reach; all that is needed is one-hundred-and-eighty degree turn.” – Osho
From the head to the heart
“The first step is from the head to the heart, the second step is from the heart to the being. And the moment you reach your being you have reached to the very centre of existence. It is not your centre alone, it is the centre of everything that is. In religious words you call it god, but you can simply call it t centre and that will do.” – Osho
Purity is when you live in a choiceless awareness
“Purity is when you live in a choiceless awareness, when you are neither concerned with the good nor the bad, when you accept everything as divine.” – Osho
Meditation has nothing to do with perfectionism
“Meditation has nothing to do with perfectionism, but perfection comes as a by-product. As you become silent it follows you, wherever you go it is there and it is not something dead, hanging around you. It is growing. That is the most miraculous thing about it, because we always think of perfection as the dead end.” – Osho
Surrender is not towards somebody; it is simply a way of life.
“Surrender is not towards somebody; it is simply a way of life. A God is not needed to surrender to. There are religions which believe in God, there are religions which don’t believe in God, but all religions believe in surrender. So surrender is the real God.” – Osho
The word “nirvana” means cessation of the ego
“Buddha has used two words. When a person starts moving into the world of love, becomes loving, he calls it nirvana. The word “nirvana” means cessation of the ego — and of course, when the ego ceases one becomes loving. And when such a person dies Buddha calls it mahaparinirvana, the great nirvana, because then he gives totally. We gives his body, his mind, his heart, his life he gives everything back to existence. He simply disappears into nothingness. His giving is absolute, nothing is retained. He simply evaporates, he is no more. He has not kept anything, not even himself; hence Buddha calls it the great cessation.” – Osho
Surrender happens.
“Surrender happens. It is not a question of doing. You can go to a thousand and one masters but it will happen only with one. And you cannot do it; it is nothing that you can do.” – Osho
That’s what sannyas is all about: helping you to feel at home with existence
“Life is fulfilled only when we start feeling at home with existence. That’s what sannyas is all about: helping you to feel at home with existence, with the trees, with the earth, with the sky, with people, with animals. It is our universe and we are not foreigners to it.
Only this experience makes one religious.” – Osho
Meditation is a way of settling in oneself, at the innermost core of your being
“Meditation is a way of settling in oneself, at the innermost core of your being. Once you have found the center of your existence, you will have found both the roots and the wings. The roots are in existence, making you a more integrated human being, an individual. And the wings are in the fragrance that is released by being in the contact with existence. The fragrance consists of freedom, love, compassion, authenticity, sincerity, a sense of humor, and a tremendous feeling of blissfulness.
The roots make you an individual, and the wings give you the freedom to love, to be creative, to share unconditionally the joy that you have found.” – Osho
Only a man deeply rooted in meditation can have compassion.
“Passion has to go through the whole process of meditation to become compassion. Meditation will take away all possessiveness, ownership, jealousy, and will leave only the pure essence, the very perfume of love.
Only a man deeply rooted in meditation can have compassion.” – Osho
Unless you know the joys of meditation you cannot avoid falling in love
Unless you know the joys of meditation you cannot avoid falling in love. Once you start enjoying your own being, the joy, the space, the absolute freedom, the unhindered consciousness, nobody occupying your attention, nobody trying to catch your attention, nobody impinging on your freedom, interfering with your freedom…. When you start enjoying your aloneness you have become a meditator. – Osho
Sannyas is relaxation into the whole
“My sannyasins are not my followers. I am not a mediator between you, and the ultimate. My function is to help you to be directly connected to the universe — just to give you a deep understanding of your own being and how to relax with the whole.
Sannyas is relaxation into the whole, disappearing into the whole, surrendering towards the whole. The true master never stands between anybody and the ultimate. ” – Osho
