Be yourself

• Be the person you are. Never try to be another, and you will become mature. Maturity is accepting the responsibility of being oneself, whatsoever the cost. Risking all to be oneself, that’s what maturity is all about.
• Being is so significant that it is irreplaceable. You are just yourself. Do something that comes out of you—not to assert, but to express! Sing your song, dance your dance, rejoice in being whatever nature has chosen you to be.
• Becoming whole is becoming authentic, becoming yourself – whosoever you are, whatsoever you are. Accept your limitations, accept your imperfections. That’s what it means to be a human being.
• Just be yourself and remember you cannot be anything else, whatsoever you do. All effort is futile. You have to be just yourself.
• Maturity is accepting the responsibility of being oneself, whatsoever the cost.
• My whole teaching is: Just be what you are and don’t care a bit about the world. Then you will feel a tremendous relaxation and a deep peace within your heart. That is your original face, relaxed, without tensions, without pretensions, without hypocrisies, without the so- called disciplines of how you should behave.
• One has just to be oneself. That’s my basic message. The moment you accept yourself as you are, all burdens, all mountainous burdens, simply disappear. Then life is a sheer joy, a festival of lights.
• The freedom from something is not true freedom. The freedom to do anything you want to do is also not the freedom I am talking about. My vision of freedom is to be yourself.
• You are being taught everything, but you are not being taught to be yourself. This is the ugliest form of society possible, because it makes everybody miserable.

.

Reveal all of yourself

• You have to drop all your defenses, only then is intimacy possible. We are all hiding a thousand and one things, not only from others but from ourselves.
• Whatsoever you hide goes on growing, and whatsoever you expose, if it is wrong it disappears, evaporates in the sun, and if it is right it is nourished.

.

Live your own life and the path where it leads

• If you are clean inside, having no wounds of inferiority, then who cares what people expect of you? You have never fulfilled anybody’s expectations. You have been simply living your life according to your own insight, intuition, intelligence.
• One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don’t leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.

.

Creative expression

• Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.
• Creativity is the quality that you bring to the activity that you are doing. It is an attitude, an inner approach – how you look at things.
• Destroying something, any idiot can do. Creating needs intelligence.
• 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.
• You become more divine as you become more creative. All the religions of the world have said God is the creator. I don’t know whether he is the creator or not, but one thing I know: the more creative you become, the more godly you become. When your creativity comes to a climax, when your whole life becomes creative, you live in God. So he must be the creator because people who have been creative have been closest to him. Love what you do. Be meditative while you are doing it – whatsoever it is!

.

Live life as an art

• A really spiritual person will live life as an art, will create a deep harmony between the body and the consciousness. And this is the greatest art there is. His life will be a joy to see.
• You will find meaning in life only if you create it. It is a poetry to be composed. It is a song to be sung.  It is a dance to be danced.

.

Love

• A single moment of love is equal to the whole eternity of love.
• Become loving. When you are in the embrace, become the embrace.  Become the kiss.  Forget yourself so totally that you can say, I am no more.  Only love exists.  Then the heart is not beating, but love is beating.  Then the blood is not circulating, but love is circulating.  Then eyes are not seeing, love is seeing.  Then hands are not moving to touch, love is moving to touch.  Become love and enter everlasting life.  
• Don’t move the way fear makes you move. Move the way love makes you move. Move the way joy makes you move.
• Falling in love you remain a child; rising in love you mature. By and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being. Not that you are in love – now you are love.
• Giving love is the real beautiful experience, because then you are an emperor. Getting love is a very small experience. It is the experience of beggar.
• I am not anti-life as other religions are. I am absolutely for life, and life in its essence means love.
• I love, because my love is not dependent on the object of love. My love is dependent on my state of being. So whether the other person changes, becomes different, friend turns into a foe, does not matter, because my love was never dependent on the other person. My love is my state of being. I simply love.
• If love can not keep you together, nothing else can keep you together. And if love cannot keep you together, than anything that can keep you together is dangerous.
• If you live with love, through love, you will live a great life, because love makes everything great.
• If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.
• If you remain always far, love will die. If you remain always near, love will die. Love can survive only in a continuous flowing relationship.
• In love the other is important; in lust you are important.
• It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love, or how you love, it matters only that you love.
• Love brings freedom. Loyalty brings slavery.
• Love cannot be taught, it can only be caught.
• Love in its purest form is a sharing of joy. It asks nothing in return, it expects nothing. Love is a spiritual phenomenon; lust is physical. Ego is psychological; love is spiritual.
• Love is a bird and it loves to be free. It needs the whole sky to grow.
• Love is a wine; you have to taste it, you have to drink it, you have to become drunk with it, only then do you know what it is.
• Love is authentic only when it gives freedom. Love is true only when it respects the other person’s individuality, his privacy.
• Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something.
• Love is just like a breeze: it comes, but you should not close your doors to keep the breeze inside.
• Love is not manageable, it is simply something that happens, and the moment you try to manage it everything misfire.
• Love is the goal, life is the journey.
• Love is the ultimate, the end. You love for love’s own sake. It is not a means to anything else, it is its own end.
• Love is true only when it does not interfere in the privacy of the other person. It respects his individuality, his privacy.
• Love is true only when it is spontaneous, unplanned, unpracticed, uncultivated, un-thought.
• Love is ultimate, the highest health, because love makes one whole. When you love a master by and by you completely forgot about love.
• Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.
• Love lives in waiting – dies in meeting, becomes ordinary.
• Love means the art of being with others. Meditation means the art of being with yourself. Both are two aspects of the same coin.
• Love needs two things: it has to be rooted in freedom and it has to know the art of trust.
• Love never dies through separation, never. If it dies at all, it dies through too much togetherness; never by separation.
• Love so much that the song arises in your being — the song of gratitude. Be grateful and sing the song of gratitude so that you can become more and more capable of love.
• Lovers are mirrors to each other. Love makes you aware of your original face.
• Lovers, the followers of the path of love, make love their undercurrent. They eat, but they eat with love. They walk, but they walk with love — because the earth is holy ground. They sit under a tree; they sit with love — because the tree is divine. They look at somebody; they look with love — because there also is divinity. Everywhere they see their beloved, in each movement they remember their beloved. It becomes their constant remembrance.
• Real love is not an escape from loneliness, real love is an overflowing aloneness. One is so happy in being alone that one would like to share.
• Real love makes you more of an individual. It does not efface your individuality, it gives you individuality. Real love is very respectful.
• Millions of people are suffering: they want to be loved but they don’t know how to love. And love cannot exist as a monologue; it is a dialogue, a very harmonious dialogue.
• Once I was on a journey and someone asked me which word in a man’s vocabulary was the most valuable. My reply was, Love.
• People say love is blind because they do not know what love is, I say unto you, only love has eyes; other than love everything is blind.
• These are the only two real emotions and love. If you don’t love, you will be in fear. If you are in fear, you cannot love. If you love, fear is impossible.
• When you love, love as if the person is a god, not less than that. Never love a woman as a woman and never love a man as a man.
• Whenever you plan for love, whenever deliberateness enters into it it becomes phony and false.
• You cannot think about love. Either you can love, or you cannot, but you cannot think about it.
• You will find your way to the object you love, so be very cautious about your object of love because that is going to decide your destiny. Your love is your destiny. Love something superb; love something of the supra-existence; love something of the divine, and you will find your way.
• Your real being only flowers with unconditional love. Ambition is against love. Anything that is against love is against you and your real life.
• The society is ill; individuals are victims. Society needs therapy; individuals simply need love. The society is the patient and needs hospitalization.

.

Love in relationships

• Love in itself, or just having a relationship with someone, is not going to give you happiness, unless you bring happiness with you.
• Even if they can find a lover they demand perfection, and the love is destroyed because of that demand.
• If you love a person, you accept the total person. With all the defects. Because those defects are a part of the person. Never try to change a person you love, because the very effort to change says that you love half, and the other half of the person is not accepted. When you love, you simply love.
• Love can never possess. Love is giving freedom to the other. Love is an unconditional gift, it is not a bargain.
• Love the person, but give the person total freedom. Love the person, but from the very beginning make it clear that you are not selling your freedom.
• Never try to change a person you love, because the very effort to change says that you love half, and the other half of the person is not accepted.
• No relationship can truly grow if you go on holding back. If you remain clever and go on safeguarding and protecting yourself, only personalities meet, and the essential centers remain alone. Then only your mask is related, not you. Whenever such a thing happens, there are four persons in the relationship, not two. Two false persons go on meeting, and the two real persons remain worlds apart.
• So the second thing to remember is never to demand perfection. You have no right to demand anything from anybody. If somebody loves you, be thankful, but don’t demand anything—because the other has no obligation to love you.
• The ultimate state of love is freedom, absolute freedom, and any relationship that destroys freedom is not worthwhile.

.

Self-love

• If you cannot love yourself, you don’t know even the taste of love or what love means.
• I also teach you to love yourself first. It has nothing to do with ego. In fact, love is such a light that the darkness of the ego cannot exist in it at all. If you love others, if your love is focused on others, you will live in darkness. Turn your light toward yourself first, become a light unto yourself first. Let the light dispel your inner darkness, your inner weakness. Let love make you a tremendous power, a spiritual force.
• If you cannot enjoy your own company, who else is going to enjoy it?
• If you love yourself, you love others. If you hate yourself, you hate others. In relationship with others, it is only you mirrored.
• Love and respect yourself and never compromise for anything. And then you will be surprised how much growth starts happening of its own accord.. as if rocks have been removed and the river has started flowing.
• Respect your life. Out of that respect you will start respecting life in others.
• Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.

.

Self-acceptance

• Accept yourself as you are. And that is the most difficult thing in the world, because it goes against your training, education, your culture.

.

The beauty of imperfection

• I love this world because it is imperfect. It is imperfect, and that’s why it is growing; if it was perfect it would have been dead. Growth is possible only if there is imperfection. I would like you to remember again and again, I am imperfect, the whole universe is imperfect, and to love this imperfection, to rejoice in this imperfection is my whole message.
• Perfect people don’t exist. And perfect people, if they existed, would be very boring. It is imperfection that keeps life interesting.

.

Self-worth

• Just see how much respect God has paid to you. You are a masterpiece – unrepeatable, incomparable, utterly unique.

.

Embrace your uniqueness

• Nobody is superior, nobody is inferior, but nobody is equal either. People are simply unique, incomparable. You are you, I am I. I have to contribute my potential to life; you have to contribute your potential to life. I have to discover my own being; you have to discover your own being.
• Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.
• There has never been a person like you before, there is nobody else like you right now in the whole world, and there will never be anybody like you.

.

Self-acceptance

• My whole love and respect is for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has courage. He has courage to face the whole pressure of the society which is bent upon splitting him into divisions – into good and bad, into saint and sinner. He is really a brave, courageous being who stands against the whole history of man, of morality, and declares to the skies his reality, whatever it is.

.

Work with love

• If you work without love, you are working like a slave. When you work with love, you work like an emperor. Your work is your joy, your work is your dance.
• If you clean the floor with love, you have done an invisible painting. Live each moment in such delight that it gives you something inner.

.

Making a difference

• Help the world to become better. Don’t leave the world just the same as you have found it – make it a little better, make it a little more beautiful.

.

Happiness

• Happiness is an art that one has to learn. It has nothing to do with your doing or not doing.
• Happiness is not conditional; nothing is needed to be happy. Only to be alive is needed — and that you are, you already are.
• Instead of pleasing, learn the art of happiness.
• Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars… and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy.  Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance.  Look at the flowers – for no reason.  It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are.
• You can become happy just by deciding to be happy.
• Your heaven and your happiness is always somewhere else; it is never where you are. Real happiness is always HERE, it is always NOW.

.

Joy and bliss

• Always remember to judge everything by your inner feeling of bliss.
• If you are sad you are wrong; if you are joyful you are right.
• In relationship be blissful, in alone-ness be aware, and they will help each other, like two wings of a bird.
• Joy is not dependent on circumstances; it is your own. It is not a titillation produced by things; it is a state of peace, of silence- a meditative state. It is spiritual.
• The experience of bliss will give you an insight into the very phenomenon of beauty. Not only does it make you beautiful, it suddenly transforms the whole world. The whole world becomes beautiful because the world reflects you, it is a mirror.

.

Embrace life

• The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.
• Don’t postpone anything beautiful for tomorrow. Live intensely, live totally, here and now.
• Experience life in all possible ways — good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light, summer-winter. Experience all the dualities. Don’t be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become.
• I live my life based on 2 principles. One, I live as if today was my last day on earth. Two, I live today as if I am going to live forever.
• Be a drunkard, drunk with life, with the wine of existence. Don’t remain sober. The sober person remains dead.
• Life is not a problem. To look at it as a problem is to take a wrong step. It is a mystery to be lived, loved, experienced.
• Life is a mystery, and there is nothing to explain. Everything is just open, it is in front of you. Encounter it! Meet it! Be courageous!
• Life is not given to you to murder, to destroy. Life has been given to you to create, and to rejoice, and to celebrate.
• Life is not logic, life is not philosophy. Life is a dance, a song, a celebration! It is more like love and less like logic.
• Never sacrifice your life for anything! Sacrifice everything for life! Life is the ultimate goal.

.

Celebrate and appreciate life

• Celebration is my attitude, unconditional to what life brings.
• I love life. That’s why I give teachings of celebration, celebrate everything. From body to soul, physical to spiritual, sex to superconsciousness, everything is divine for me.
• Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated!
• Life is not given to you to murder, to destroy. Life has been given to you to create, and to rejoice, and to celebrate.
• Respect life, revere life. There is nothing more holy than life, nothing more divine than life.
• Take hold of your own life. See that the whole existence is celebrating. These trees are not serious, these birds are not serious. The rivers and the oceans are wild, and everywhere there is fun, everywhere there is joy and delight. Watch existence, listen to the existence and become part of it.
• We have to change this world by celebrating, by dancing, by singing, by music, by meditation, by love, not by struggle.
• If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.

.

Freedom

• Freedom is our most precious treasure. Don’t lose it for anything.
• Freedom is a ladder: one side of the ladder reaches hell, the other side touches heaven. It is the same ladder; the choice is yours.
• It cannot be called freedom, a freedom which can choose only the right and not the wrong; then that is not freedom.
• Love brings freedom. Loyalty brings slavery.
• People love freedom – but nobody wants responsibility. And they come together, they are inseparable.
• The freedom from something is not true freedom. The freedom to do anything you want to do is also not the freedom I am talking about. My vision of freedom is to be yourself.
• The greatest freedom is to be free of one’s own mind.
• The person who can be happy alone is really an individual. If your happiness depends on the other, you are a slave; you are not yet free, you are in bondage.
• The ultimate state of love is freedom, absolute freedom, and any relationship that destroys freedom is not worthwhile.

.

Meaning

• Life has no meaning. Rejoice! It has no meaning. Dance, sing, enjoy! It has no meaning. You need not be serious. It is a cosmic joke.
• Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.
• Life in itself is so beautiful that to ask the question of the meaning of life is simply nonsense.
• Life is a purposeless play, a play of infinite forces-beautiful if you don’t have an achiever’s mind, ugly if you have ambition to become something.
• The people who ask what is the meaning of life are the people who have missed life, who are alive because they are still breathing; otherwise they are dead.
• You will find meaning in life only if you create it. It is a poetry to be composed. It is a song to be sung.  It is a dance to be danced.

.

Purpose

• Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny – he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally – you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.

.

God within

• God cannot be an object. It is the deepest depth of your own being. How can you see it.
• God is your very being. So the first thing is, don’t think about enlightenment as a goal.
• Don’t look for God in the sky; look within your own body.
• The moment you die consciously, in meditation, God is born – because you disappear as an ego. Then what is left? A stillness, a tremendously potential stillness, a silence that is pregnant – pregnant with the whole. When you disappear, boundaries disappear. You melt and merge with everybody else.
• You are gods who have forgotten who they are.

.

Inner wisdom

• Listen to your being. It is continuously giving you hints; it is a still, small voice. It does not shout at you, that is true. And if you are a little silent you will start feeling your way.
• Never obey anyone’s command unless it is coming from within you also.
• You just listen to your own heart – that is your only teacher. In the real journey of life, your own intuition is your only teacher.

.

Think for yourself

• Intelligence is dangerous. Intelligence means you will start thinking on your own; you will start looking around on your own. You will not believe in the scriptures; you will believe only in your own experience.

.

Surrender

• Go easy on yourself, for the outcome of all affairs is determined by God’s decree.
• Linguistically, surrender means surrender to somebody, but spiritually surrender simply means trust, relaxing. It is an attitude rather than an act, you live through trust.
• The ultimate meditation is surrender to reality. The more you fight, the more you are in conflict with it, the more you will be a loser. In deep surrender, the ego disappears. And when the ego is not there, for the first time you become aware of that which has always been there.

.

Trust

• If you want to learn anything, learn trust – nothing else is needed. If you are miserable, nothing else will help – learn trust. If you don’t feel any meaning in life and you feel meaningless, nothing will help – learn trust. Trust gives meaning because trust makes you capable of allowing the whole descend upon you.
• The person who trusts can relax into existence. The person who cannot trust remains tense, remains anxious, afraid.

.

Inner peace

• If you really want peace on earth, create peace in your heart, in your being. That is the right place to begin with and then spread.

.

Calmness, relaxation and letting go of effort

• Don’t seek, don’t search, don’t ask, don’t knock, don’t demand–relax. If you relax, it comes. If you relax, it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it.
• Life is not a tension anywhere except in the minds of humanity.
• The existence loves you, otherwise you would not be here. Relax into your being, you are cherished by the whole.
• Take it easy, and remember easy is right.
• Zen is not effort. Effort is tension, effort is work, effort is to achieve something. Zen is not something to achieve. You are already that. Just relax, relax so deeply that you become a revelation to yourself.

.

Living in the present

• Intelligence is the capacity to be in the present. The more you are in the past or are in the future, the less intelligent you are. Intelligence is the capacity to be here-now, to be in this moment and nowhere else. Then you are awake.
• NOW is the only reality – all else is either memory or imagination.
• Once you have tasted the juice of the present, you don’t care about dangers. Once you are in tune with life then nothing matter. Life all there is.
• That is the simple secret of happiness. Whatever you are doing, don’t let past move your mind; don’t let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet. To live in the memories, to live in the imagination, is to live in the non-existential. And when you are living in the non-existential, you are missing that which is existential. Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.
• Fools are more healthy then the so-called wise. Thy live in the moment and they know that thy are fools, so thy are not worried about what others think about them.
• Tomorrow-drop that word from your vocabulary! Tomorrow does not exist, it cannot exist: it is not in the nature of things. Only this day exists.
• Tomorrow never comes, it is always today.
• You are daydreaming about the future because you have not tasted the present. Start tasting the present. Find out a few moments where you are simply delighting. Looking at the trees, just be the look. Listening to the birds, just be a listening ear. Let them reach to your deepest core. Let their song spread all over your being.
• Your heaven and your happiness is always somewhere else; it is never where you are. Real happiness is always HERE, it is always NOW.

.

Letting go of the past

• A person who lives moment to moment, who goes on dying to the past, is never attached to anything. Attachment comes from the accumulated past. If you can be unattached to the past every moment, then you are always fresh, young, just born. You pulsate with life and that pulsation gives you immortality. You are immortal, only unaware of the fact. Osho  
• Don´t be unnecessarily burdened by the past. Go on closing the chapters that you have read; there is no need to go back again and again.
• Die each moment so that you are renewed each moment.
• There is only one courage and that is the courage to go on dying to the past, not to collect it, not to accumulate it, not to cling to it.
• We all cling to the past and because we cling to the past we become unavailable to the present.
• Whatever you are doing, don’t let past move your mind; don’t let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet.

.

Awareness

• Meditation means awareness. Whatsoever you do with awareness is meditation.
• Awareness functions almost like magic.
• Awareness is the greatest alchemy there is. Just go on becoming more and more aware. You will find your life changing for the better in every possible dimension. It will bring great fulfilment.
• Awareness without love is too cold. Love without awareness is too hot. The middle way is slowly showing itself as we wear out all our extremes from having had the nerve to experiment.
• Darkness is an absence of light. Ego is an absence of awareness.
• Desire disappears as you become more and more aware. When awareness is one hundred percent, there is no desire at all.
• Doing brings ego. Ego is the shadow of action. And there is only one thing that is not-doing, and that is awareness, watchfulness.
• Once your awareness becomes a flame, it burns up the whole slavery that the mind has created.
• Remember one thing: meditation means awareness. Whatsoever you do with awareness is meditation. Action is not the question, but the quality that you bring to your action. Walking can be a meditation if you walk alertly. Sitting can be a meditation if you listen with awareness. Just listening to the inner noise of your mind can be a meditation if you remain alert and watchful.
• Life repeats itself mindlessly — unless you become mindful, it will go on repeating like a wheel.
• Be ordinary but bring a quality of awareness to your ordinary life. Bring God to your ordinary life. Sleep, eat, love, pray, meditate, but don’t think that you are making or doing something special—and then you will be special.

.

Being

• A mature mind is one who understands the impossibility of knowing the ultimate, and with this understanding there is a new dimension: the dimension of being.
• Don’t try to become. Within these two words, be and becoming, your whole life is contained. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance.
• Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.
• Let those who want, come to the well of your being, to your silence.
• The existence loves you, otherwise you would not be here. Relax into your being, you are cherished by the whole.

.

Being the witness

• Attachment is the food for the mind to continue. Non-attached witnessing is the way to stop it without any effort to stop it. And when you start enjoying those blissful moments, your capacity to retain them for longer periods arises.
• I’m simply saying that there is a way to be sane. I’m saying that you can get rid of all this insanity created by the past in you. Just by being a simple witness of your thought processes. It is simply sitting silently, witnessing the thoughts, passing before you. Just witnessing, not interfering not even judging, because the moment you judge you have lost the pure witness. The moment you say this is good, this is bad, you have already jumped onto the thought process.  It takes a little time to create a gap between the witness and the mind. Once the gap is there, you are in for a great surprise, that you are not the mind, that you are the witness, a watcher.   And this process of watching is the very alchemy of real religion. Because as you become more and more deeply rooted in witnessing, thoughts start disappearing. You are, but the mind is utterly empty.  That’s the moment of enlightenment. That is the moment that you become for the first time an unconditioned, sane, really free human being.
• Sadness comes, joy comes, and everything passes by. What remains always is the witness. The witness is beyond all polarities.
• Witness that you are not the body. Witness that you are not the mind. Witness that you are only the witness.

.

Mind and no-mind

• Mind is repetitive, mind always moves in circles. Mind is a mechanism: you feed it with knowledge, it repeats the same knowledge, it goes on chewing the same knowledge again and again. No-mind is clarity, purity, innocence. No- mind is the real way to live, the real way to know, the real way to be.
• Mind is the illusion that which is not but appears, and appears so much that you think that you are the mind.
• Mind: A beautiful servant, a dangerous master.
• No thought, no mind, no choice — just being silent, rooted in yourself.
• Paradise is within you, in your state of no-mind. And hell is also within you, in your very mind.
• The first thing to remember is how to drop thoughts and become thoughtless — thoughtless but alert.
• The greatest freedom is to be free of one’s own mind.
• Thoughts are shadows, don’t fight with them.

.

Perceive without labelling

• Thoughts can create such a barrier that even if you are standing before a beautiful flower, you will not be able to see it. Your eyes are covered with layers of thought. To experience the beauty of the flower you have to be in a state of meditation, not in a state of mentation. You have to be silent, utterly silent, not even a flicker of thought – and the beauty explodes, reaches to you from all directions. You are drowned in the beauty of a sunrise, of a starry night, of beautiful trees.

.

Go inwards

• Go inwards. Find your inner space, and suddenly, you will find an explosion of light, of beauty, of ecstasy – as if suddenly thousands of roses have blossomed within you and you are full of their fragrance.
• Find ecstasy within yourself. It is not out there. It is in your innermost flowering. The one you are looking for is you.

.

Silence

• Only silence communicates the truth as it is.

.

Meditation

• Intelligence comes from meditation, intelligence comes from rebellion, intelligence does not come from memory.
• Meditation is the way to stop the very idea of time as flux. Meditation is a total stillness. Nothing moves.
• Meditation means awareness. Whatsoever you do with awareness is meditation.
• Love means the art of being with others. Meditation means the art of being with yourself. Both are two aspects of the same coin.
• Dropping the mask and bringing out your original face is the whole alchemy of meditation.
• My meditation is simple. It does not require any complex practices. It is simple. It is singing. It is dancing. It is sitting silently
• Not going anywhere is meditation, just being where you are; there is no other “where” – just being there where you are, just occupying only that space where you are.
• Our mind is a constant traffic of thoughts, and it is always rush hour, day in, day out. Meditation means to watch the movement of thoughts in the mind.
• To be alone and to be drunk with your own aloneness is what meditation is all about.
• The meditation I am talking about is not a meditation on something. If you light a lamp and remove all the objects surrounding it, the lamp will still go on giving light. In the same way, if you remove all objects from your consciousness, all thoughts, all imagination, what will happen? – only consciousness will remain.
• You exist in time, but you belong to   You are a penetration of eternity into the world of time.  You are  deathless, living in a body of death- Your consciousness knows no death, no  birth. It is only your body that is born and dies.  But you are not aware of  your consciousness.  You are not conscious of your consciousness.  And that is the whole art of meditation; becoming conscious of consciousness itself.

.

Aloneness

• It is beautiful to be alone, it is also beautiful to to be in love, to be with people. And they are complementary, not contradictory.
• Relationship is the need of those who cannot be alone. Two alone persons relate, communicate, commune, and yet they remain alone.
• The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it’s not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another person–without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other.
• The person who can be happy alone is really an individual. If your happiness depends on the other, you are a slave; you are not yet free, you are in bondage.
• To be alone and to be drunk with your own aloneness is what meditation is all about.
• To me spirituality needs an honest individuality. It does not allow any kind of dependence. It creates a freedom for itself, whatever the cost. It is never in the crowd but alone, because the crowd has never found any truth. The truth has been found only in people’s aloneness.

.

Truth

• A borrowed truth is the greatest lie in the world. Truth can only be true when it is based on your own experience, utterly your own experience.
• Only silence communicates the truth as it is.
• The real can be known only through the illusion. You cannot know the truth directly. First you have to know that which is not true. First you have to encounter the untrue. Through that encounter you become capable of knowing the truth. If you know the false as the false, truth will dawn upon you.
• When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.
• Remember it is not only you who are seeking truth – truth is also seeking you.
• Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.
• Truth is not to be found outside. No teacher, no scripture can give it to you. It is inside you and if you wish to attain it, seek your own company. Be with yourself.

.

Self-discovery and knowledge

• Discover yourself, otherwise you have to depend on other people’s opinions who don’t know themselves.
• Your whole idea about yourself is borrowed.

.

Knowing and not needing to know

• All your knowledge is dust. Knowing is your purity, knowledge is dust.
• Don’t go on with borrowed knowledge. Otherwise you will forget that you are ignorant, and you will remain ignorant.
• Don’t try to understand life. Live it! Don’t try to understand love. Move into love. Then you will know and that knowing will come out of your experiencing.
• Accept the fact that we are strangers; that we don´t know who you are, that you don´t know who I am. I myself don´t know who I am, so how can you know?
• It is better to be ignorant; at least the ignorance is yours. It is authentic, it is real, sincere and honest!
• Knowledge is borrowed; knowing is yours, your own. It is authentic knowledge is information, knowing is transformation.
• Life is a mystery, and there is nothing to explain. Everything is just open, it is in front of you. Encounter it! Meet it! Be courageous!
• The less people know, the more stubbornly they know it.

.

Potential

• The only authentic responsibility is towards your own potential. Values have not to be imposed on you. They should grow with your awareness, in you.
• When I say that you are Gods and Goddesses I mean that your possibility is infinite, your potentiality is infinite.
• When the potential becomes the actual, only then is man fulfilled.
• You need either to create something or to discover something. Either bring your potential to actuality or go inwards to find yourself, but do something with your freedom.
• Man is born only as a potential. He can become a thorn for himself and for others, he can also become a flower for himself and for others.

.

Growth

• You will come closer and closer to perfection, but you will never be perfect. Perfection is not the way of existence. Growth is the way.

.

Evolution

• Man is not born perfect. He is born as a process. He has to seek and search and explore. He has to become, because his being arises only through becoming. Becoming is his being. He can only be if he is on the move. Evolution is intrinsic to man’s nature, evolution is his very soul. And those who take themselves for granted remain unfulfilled. Those who think they are born complete remain unevolved. Then the seed remains the seed. It never becomes a tree and never knows the joys of spring and the sunshine and the rain, and the ecstasy of bursting into millions of flowers. That explosion is the fulfilment, that explosion is what existence is all about—exploding into millions of flowers. When the potential becomes the actual, only then is man fulfilled.

.

Change

• If we want to change the society, we have to change the individual.
• You can go on changing the outer for lives and you will never be satisfied. Unless the inner changes, the outer can never be perfect.

.

Learning

• It’s not a question of learning much. On the contrary.It’s a question of UNLEARNING much.

.

Balance

• The greatest art is to attain a balance, a balance between all opposites, a balance between all polarities. Imbalance is the disease and balance is health. Imbalance is neurosis, and balance is well-being.

.

Self-discipline

• All true discipline is self-discipline. And self-discipline is never against freedom—in fact, it is the ladder to freedom. Only disciplined people become free, but their discipline is not obedience to others: their discipline is obedience to their own voice. And they are ready to risk anything for it.
• What is discipline? Discipline means creating an order within you. As you are, you are a chaos.

.

Experimentation

• Intelligence never grows by imitation: Intelligence grows by experimentation. Intelligence grows by taking challenges.

.

Dance

• Anywhere everywhere! Anything anyhow! just dance!

.

Playfulness

• Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously. Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul and playfulness the greatest health.

.

Responsibility

• Nobody is responsible except you. Nobody can make you angry, and nobody can make you happy.
• People can live tremendously rich, blissful, ecstatic lives. But the first thing is, we have to accept our responsibility.
• People love freedom – but nobody wants responsibility. And they come together, they are inseparable.
• You feel good, you feel bad, and these feelings are bubbling from your own unconsciousness, from your own past. Nobody is responsible except you. Nobody can make you angry, and nobody can make you happy.

.

Friendship

• Friendship is a relationship, friendliness is a state of your being. You are simply friendly; to whom, that is not the point. . .
• Friendship is the purest love. It is the highest form of Love where nothing is asked for, no condition, where one simply enjoys giving.
• Never ask, Who is my real friend? Ask, Am I a real friend to somebody? That is the right question. Always be concerned with yourself.

.

Focus

• Nobody has the power to take two steps together; you can take only one step at a time.

.

Laughter

• Only laughter makes a man rich, but the laughter has to be blissful.
• Don’t be serious about seriousness. Laugh about it, be a little foolish.
• One just needs a little alertness to see and find out: Life is really a great cosmic laughter.
• Peace has to dance and silence has to sing. And unless your innermost realization becomes a laughter, something is still lacking. Something still has to be done.
• The whole play of existence is so beautiful that laughter can be the only response to it. Only laughter can be the real prayer, gratitude.
• When you really laugh for those few moments you are in a deep meditative state. Thinking stops. It is impossible to laugh and think together.

.

The sacredness of the ordinary

• Zen is not bothered about anything superhuman; its whole concern is how to make ordinary life a blessing.

.

Embrace life as a game

• This world is just a game. Winners lose and losers win the game is still the same. This life is just a play. Those who say dont know and those who know dont say.

.

Feel more

• Get out of your head and get into your heart. Think less, feel more.
• Whatever you feel, you become. It is your responsibility.

.

Courage

• Bravery does not mean being fearless. It means to be full of fear but still not being dominated by it.
• Courage is a love affair with the unknown.

.

Immerse yourself in what you do

• It is not a question of which part you follow, it is a question of whether you go totally into it or not. To be total in your action brings joy. Even an ordinary, trivial action done with total intensity brings a glow to your being, a fulfillment, a fullness, a deep contentment. And anything done halfheartedly, however good the thing may be, is going to bring misery.

.

Do what you love

• It is not a question of money, power, and prestige; it is a question of what intrinsically you want to do. Do it, irrespective of the results, and your boredom will disappear.

.

Giving

• Forget about getting, simply give; and I guarantee you, you will get much.
• Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something.
• Sharing is the most precious religious experience. Sharing is good.

.

The world is a mirror to what we are inside

• Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.
• When you are different the whole world is different. It is not a question of creating a different world. It is only a question of creating a different you.

.

Patience

• Don’t be so short of trust, and don’t be in a hurry. If I say something, wait, search, and you will find the way.

.

You are not the body

• Much is being missed because of fear. We are too attached to the body and we go on creating more and more fear because of that attachment. The body is going to die, the body is part of death, the body is death — but you are beyond the body. You are not the body; you are the bodiless. Remember it. Realize it. Awaken yourself to this truth — that you are beyond the body. You are the witness, the seer.
• Witness that you are not the body. Witness that you are not the mind. Witness that you are only the witness.

.

The sacredness of the body

• The body has to be looked after: one has to be very caring about the body and very loving to the body.  And then, its very spontaneity purifies it, makes it holy.
• Don’t look for God in the sky; look within your own body.

.

Principles

• No dead principles can help, but only living consciousness. Be absolutely unprincipled and just follow life.

.

.

The need for comfort

• A comfortable, convenient life is not a real life – the more comfortable, the less alive. The most comfortable life is in the grave.

.

Fear

• Don’t pay much attention to fear, because that is dangerous. If you pay much attention to fear you are feeding it, and it will grow.
• Man is always exploited through fear.
• These are the only two real emotions and love. If you don’t love, you will be in fear. If you are in fear, you cannot love. If you love, fear is impossible.
• Wherever you are afraid, try to explore, and you will find death hiding somewhere behind. All fear is of death. Death is the only fear source.
• You have to face your fear. And do the same with anger, do the same with jealousy, do the same with hatred. And a significant point to remember is: if you witness anything—fear, anger, hate—if you simply watch them as they arise, without any judgment or condemnation, they will disappear, leaving a tremendous amount of energy that you can use for creativity.

.

The fear of death

• Wherever you feel death, feel it. Don’t escape. Death is beautiful; death is the greatest mystery, more mysterious than life.
• Wherever you are afraid, try to explore, and you will find death hiding somewhere behind. All fear is of death. Death is the only fear source.
• Whoever may have died right now, each death is your death, because each death is a reminder that you are not going to be here forever.

.

Illusion

• With me, illusions are bound to be shattered. I am here to shatter all illusions. Yes, it will irritate you, it will annoy you – that’s my way of functioning and working. I will sabotage you from your very roots! Unless you are totally destroyed as a mind, there is no hope for you.
• Mind is the illusion that which is not but appears, and appears so much that you think that you are the mind.
• The real can be known only through the illusion. You cannot know the truth directly. First you have to know that which is not true. First you have to encounter the untrue. Through that encounter you become capable of knowing the truth. If you know the false as the false, truth will dawn upon you.

.

Comparing

• Drop comparing and life is really beautiful. Drop comparing and you can enjoy life to the full.
• From the very beginning you are being told to compare yourself with others. This is the greatest disease; it is like a cancer that goes on destroying your very soul because each individual is unique, and comparison is not possible. I am just myself and you are just yourself. There is nobody else in the world you can be compared with.
• One who thinks in terms of superiority will always remain inferior because these are two aspects of the same coin.
• Only people suffering from inferiority complex want to impress others. A really superior person never compares himself with anybody else.
• To be a happy person, one has to drop all comparison. Drop all these stupid ideas of being superior and inferior. You are neither superior nor inferior. You are simply yourself! There exists no one like you, no one with whom you can be compared. Then, suddenly, you are at home.

.

Worry

• We remain unnecessarily worried. All worries are futile because that which is going to happen is going to happen.

.

Choice

• To choose is to choose a prison; to choose is to choose a bondage. To choose is wrong, to be choiceless is to be right.

.

Problems

• This very moment you can drop all problems because they are your creation.
• You are a great problem-creator. Just understand this and suddenly problems disappear.
• You don’t have any problems. Only this much has to be understood. This very moment you can drop all problems because they are your creations.

.

Pain and suffering

• Suffering is not holding you. You are holding suffering. When you become good at the art of letting sufferings go, then you’ll come to realize how unnecessary it was for you to drag those burdens around with you. You’ll see that no one else other than you was responsible. The truth is that existence wants your life to become a festival.
• To avoid pain, they avoid pleasure. To avoid death, they avoid life.

.

Attachment

• All of our miseries are nothing but attachment. Our whole ignorance and darkness is a strange combination of a thousand and one attachments. And we are attached to things which will be taken away by the time of death, or even perhaps before. You may be very much attached to money but you can go bankrupt tomorrow. You may be very much attached to your power and position… but they are like soap bubbles. Today they are here, tomorrow not even a trace will be left.  
• Be aware – deep down you are really attached to your negative emotions. They are your ego.
• Don’t cling to anything. Clinging is the cause of our being unconscious.
• Drop the idea that attachment and love are one thing. They are enemies. It is attachment that destroys all love.
• Misery is nothing but the shadow of attachment. And hence all stagnancy. The attached person becomes a stagnant pool — sooner or later he will stink. He flows no more.
• One day you will disappear on a funeral pyre – just into nothingness, as smoke. Don’t get attached to anything.
• Remember: no attachment should grow, no clinging should grow. They are all against your independence, your freedom, your individuality.

.

Ego

• Misery nourishes your ego — that’s why you see so many miserable people in the world. The basic, central point is the ego.
• Nobody can say anything about you. Whatsoever people say is about themselves. But you become very shaky, because you are still clinging to a false center. That false center depends on others, so you are always looking to what people are saying about you.
• The ego exists because we go on pedalling desire, because we go on striving to get something, because we go on jumping ahead of ourselves.
• The ego is an island in the ocean of Hell. You want to get rid of the Hell but you don’t want to get rid of that island. Then there is trouble.
• The ego is just a useful fiction. Use it, but don’t be deceived by it.
• The moment you drop the search, you drop the ego also.
• When your ego is no more, only then will you know who you are.
• In the East, all the religions preach egolessness. So in the East, everybody is against the ego from the very beginning.

.

Mistakes

• Commit as many mistakes as possible, remembering only one thing: don’t commit the same mistake again. And you will be growing.

.

Possessiveness

• Possessiveness destroys love. And they should not be possessed, because that again destroys your love.
• People are not things, you cannot have ownership.
• The person who enjoys his life has no desire to possess, because he knows the real things of life which are worth enjoying cannot be purchased.
• To possess anything is to be possessed by it. The more you possess, the more slavery you create around yourself.
• Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.

.

Excessive seriousness

• Don’t be serious about seriousness. Laugh about it, be a little foolish. Don’t condemn foolishness; it has its own beauties.
• Just look at life with more playful eyes. Don’t be serious. Seriousness becomes like a blindness. Don’t pretend to be a thinker, a philosopher. Just simply be a human being.
• A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.
• Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously. Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul and playfulness the greatest health.

.

Desire

• It is always death that comes before your desires are fulfilled. Even if you live for a thousand years your desires are not going to be fulfilled.

.

Expectation

• Don’t expect, and there will be no frustration. Frustration is just a shadow which follows expectation.

.

Sadness

• Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.
• Sadness is silent, it is yours. It is coming because you are alone. It is giving you a chance to go deeper into your aloneness. Rather than jumping from one shallow happiness to another shallow happiness and wasting your life, it is better to use sadness as a means for meditation. Witness it. It is a friend! It opens the door of your eternal aloneness.

.

Tears

• Never be ashamed of your tears. Be proud that you are still natural. Be proud that you can express the inexpressible through your tears.
• Eyes which have lost their tears have lost their most beautiful, their most glorious treasure.

.

Judgement and fault-finding

• Be less of a judge and you will be surprised that when you become a witness and you don’t judge yourself, you stop judging others too. And that makes you more human, more compassionate, more understanding.

.

Anger

• Don’t be angry at life. It is not life that is frustrating you, it is you who are not listening to life.

.

The need for approval and the fear of disapproval

• The greatest fear in the world is of the opinions of others. And the moment you are unafraid of the crowd you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.
• The only thing that matters in life is your own opinion about yourself, nobody can destroy your dignity then, because it is not dependent on anybody’s opinion.

.

Sin

• That which makes you miserable is the only sin. That which takes you away from yourself is the only thing to be avoided.

.

Adversity

• A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.

.

Beliefs

• All beliefs suffocate and all beliefs help you not to be really alive. They deaden your being.

.

Seeking

• Man is almost mad—mad because he is seeking something which he has already got; mad because he’s not aware of who he is; mad because he hopes, desires and then ultimately, feels frustrated. Frustration is bound to be there because you cannot find yourself by seeking; you are already there. The seeking has to stop, the search has to drop.
• Remember it is not only you who are seeking truth – truth is also seeking you.
• The moment you drop the search, you drop the ego also.

.

Fame

• Fame is foolish, it is pointless, meaningless. Even if the whole world knows you, how does it make you richer? How does it make your life more blissful? How does it help you to be more understanding, to be more aware? To be more alert, to be more alive?

.

Jealousy

• If jealousy disappears and love still remains, then you have something solid in your life which is worth having.

.

Resolutions

• I resolve never to make any resolutions because all resolutions are restrictions for the future. All resolutions are imprisonments.
• I’ll never make any resolutions. Drop all resolutions! Let life be a natural spontaneity. The only golden rule is that there are no golden rules.
• Resolution is struggle. Resolution is ego. Resolution is saying, I cannot live spontaneously.

.

Ignorance

• It is better to be ignorant; at least the ignorance is yours. It is authentic, it is real, sincere and honest!
• Only a blind man can easily define what light is. When you do not know, you are bold. Ignorance is always bold; knowledge hesitates. And the more you know, the more you feel that the ground underneath is dissolving. The more you know, the more you feel how ignorant you are.

.

Guilt

• To create guilt, all that you need is a very simple thing: start calling mistakes, errors sins. They are simply mistakes, human.
• Your politicians, priests, parents, they all are guilt-creators, because that is the only way that you can be controlled and manipulated.

.

Judging things as good and bad

• To come to know that nothing is good, nothing is bad, is a turning point; it is a conversion. You start looking in; the outside reality loses meaning. The social reality is a fiction, a beautiful drama; you can participate in it, but then you don’t take it seriously. It is just a role to be played; play it as beautifully, as efficiently, as possible. But don’t take it seriously, it has nothing of the ultimate in it.

.

Old age

• Old age is your own creation: it can be a misery, it can be a celebration; it can be simply a despair, and it can also be a dance. It all depends how deeply ready you are to accept existence, whatsoever it brings.

.

.

Enlightenment

• Enlightenment is finding that there is nothing to find. Enlightenment is to come to know that there is nowhere to go. Enlightenment is the understanding that this is all, that this is perfect, that this is it. Enlightenment is not an achievement, it is an understanding that there is nothing to achieve, nowhere to go. You are already there – you have never been away. You cannot be away from there. God has never been missed. Maybe you have forgotten, that’s all. Maybe you have fallen asleep, that’s all.
• Enlightenment will be now the beginning, not the end. Beginning of a non- ending process in all dimensions of richness.
• My enlightenment has freed me from everything, including enlightenment.

.

Heaven and hell are choices

• Hell is our creation, and we create hell by trying to do the impossible. Heaven is our nature, it is our spontaneity. It is where we always are.
• Freedom is a ladder: one side of the ladder reaches hell, the other side touches heaven. It is the same ladder; the choice is yours.
• If you suffer it is because of you, if you feel blissful it is because of you. Nobody else is responsible – only you and you alone. You are your hell and your heaven too.
• Life is absolutely balanced between the positive and the negative. Now it is your choice which side you want to be – in heaven or in hell.
• You are creating your own hell.

.

Religion

• Humanity will never be religious unless all organized religions disappear and religion becomes an individual commitment towards existence.
• Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. Only false religion has rules, because false religion is a game.

.

Parenthood

• If you are a parent, open doors to unknown directions to the child so he can explore. Don’t make him afraid of the unknown, give him support.
• The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.” and so in you the child your mother lives on and through your family continues to live… so at this time look after yourself and your family as you would your mother for through you all she will truly never die.

.

Women

• A woman is one of the most beautiful phenomena in the world; not to be compared with anything else. The woman is the masterpiece of god.
• A woman is to be loved, not understood. That is the first understanding.

.

Feminine energy

• The feminine is more powerful than the masculine, the soft is more powerful than the hard, the water is more powerful than the rock.

.

Sexuality

• I am not saying renounce sex, I am saying transform it. It need not remain just biological: bring some spirituality to it. While making love, meditate too. While making love, be prayerful. Love should not be just a physical act; pour your soul into it.

.

• Many people have come and left, and it has been always good because they emptied some space for better people. It is a strange experience, that those who have left me have always left places for a better quality of people. I have never been a loser
• Never belong to a crowd; Never belong to a nation; Never belong to a religion; Never belong to a race. Belong to the whole existence. Why limit yourself to small things? When the whole is available.

• Your honesty, Your love, Your compassion should come from your inner being, not from teachings and scriptures.
• Your life sparks fires from within your innermost temple. No one can reach there but you, it is your inner sanctum. You are your own master there, only you can reach and ignite the fire.
• The knowledgeable person lives with a question mark ‘?’ and the man of awe and wonder lives with an exclamation mark.
