Below is a text by Osho that I like very much: “This is a beautiful method, it will be very useful for you. For example, if you are feeling very discontented, what to do? Patanjali [the most famous exponent of Yoga] says ponder on the opposite: if you are feeling discontented, contemplate on contentment: What […]
Osho: “In my view, God is here-and-now. Everything you see is God. God is not something beyond; God is something within. Never before in the history of humanity has man been as frightened as he is now… If there is no God, then existence becomes hostile. Not that it has actually become hostile, but it […]
“Religion is individual… Moreover, religion has no name. When someone becomes religious, from that moment on, they are no longer a Hindu, a Muslim, or a Christian. They are simply religious. It is an understanding: it is a different kind of knowledge, a different kind of seeing. When you see differently, you see a different […]
“It is natural for a man to be afraid, to tremble. If you accept it, if you say that this is how life is, if you accept it totally, the trembling stops immediately, and the fear—that very same energy which was fear—uncoils like a spring and becomes freedom.” — Osho
Osho: “People go from one guru to another, from one teacher to another, from one temple to another—not because they are great seekers, but because they are incapable of deciding. So they go from one thing to another. This is their way to avoid commitment. The same happens in other human relationships: a man goes […]
“A man of experience is always hesitating, because he knows that what he has experienced cannot be expressed. He hesitates. But the one who knows nothing but the scriptures is absolutely certain. Only fools are certain. Wise people always hesitate.” — Osho
“The whole craft of the new humanity will consist in the secret of listening to your heart consciously, alertly, with full attention. And following it, going wherever it leads you. Yes, sometimes it will lead you into danger—but then remember that those dangers are necessary for your ripening. Sometimes it will lead you astray—but remember […]
The story as told by Osho: “A great king had three sons and he wanted to choose one of them as his heir. It was very difficult because all three were very intelligent, very brave. Whom to choose? So he asked a great sage for advice, and the sage gave him an idea… The king […]
“First you have to love yourself. Only then will others love you. And you should love yourself so boundlessly, so totally, that not even the smallest particle of self-hatred remains in you. Only then will the grace and love of God become accessible to you.” — Osho “It is widely discussed that we must love […]
“This is one of the problems with humanity. The people you call normal are not normal at all, but they are in the majority. A Buddha always looks abnormal. A Jesus looks abnormal.” — Osho, The Mustard Seed (Discourses on the Sayings of Jesus)
“Always remember to find the small reasons for the things that happen within you and around you. Sometimes you start looking for very deep and big reasons, which don’t exist…” — Osho
“Religion requires ultimate urgency. If you postpone, you will never be able to be religious. As you are, you are already late; you have already wasted much time on meaningless things which will be taken away from you. For everything that you possess, you are losing life. It is not cheap, it is very costly. […]
