From Osho: “Every reaction is unconscious. If you are aware, you never react; you act. Action is conscious; reaction is unconscious. First of all, the nature of activity and the hidden currents within it must be understood; otherwise no relaxation is possible. Even if you want to relax, it will not be possible unless you […]

Treat everything true within you as a seed
A Story Shared and Explained by Osho: “Once, a prince went to the forest of monkeys. Upon seeing him, the monkeys scattered in a panic, except for one that remained, seemingly indifferent to his presence. It swung from branch to branch with an air of defiance, as if putting on a show. The prince shot […]

Help comes from within
As Osho shares in one of his parables, “Do not perish in the trap of hope; do not get carried away by the idea that help comes from the outside. No one else intends to fulfill your hopes. That happens within you. A hunter once got lost in the jungle. For three days, he encountered […]

Keep your eyes on the path
A philosopher and a mystic lost their way in a forest on a dark night. It was a very dangerous forest, full of wild animals; the darkness was impenetrable. One of them was a man of doubt, the other a man of faith. Suddenly a storm began, thunder struck, and a flash of lightning lit […]

Only an independent person can love
“Your problem is not love.Your problem is that you are not able to accept yourself, to stand on your own feet, to treat yourself with respect, to do something in such a way that you can feel you have value.Your value must arise from within you; it must not be given to you by someone […]

Osho on Death as the Gateway to Real Life
“Death is more important than life. Life is quite trivial, superficial. Death is deeper. Through death you grow into real life… through life you only reach death and nothing more. What we call and mean by life is merely a journey toward death. If you can understand that your whole life is only a journey […]

Do not carry the boat on your shoulders
Osho, from Glimpses of a Golden Childhood: “Love is good, simply good, but it is not enough to give you wings. For that, friendship is needed—and love does not allow it… Love is very afraid of friendship, because anything higher is dangerous, and friendship is higher. When you are able to enjoy friendship, whether with […]

Osho: Remain Centered
The text below is from Osho’s Book of Secrets. He presents a very simple yet effective way of working with the emotions that arise in our relationships with other people, transforming them into awareness and inner strength. The technique (meditation) is as follows: “When a mood for or against someone arises, do not direct it […]

On the Boldness of Ignorance
Osho: “Ignorance is always bold; knowledge hesitates.”

Settle deeply into your ‘yes’
Osho: “Settle deeply into your ‘yes.’ Say ‘yes’ to everything. Say ‘yes’ to the good and to the bad, to day and night, to summer and winter. Say ‘yes’ to success and to failure. Say ‘yes’ to life and to death. Forget everything else except this single word ‘yes,’ and this can totally transform your […]

The language we speak
Osho: “The language of logic is aggressive, argumentative, violent, egocentric. The language of love is concerned with the other—how to help the other grow and transform. For the first, what is said is important; for the second, how it is said matters. The first is debate; the second is communion.” Translation from Bulgarian

And Never Ask for Recognition
Osho: “Learn one basic thing: do what you want to do, what you love to do, and never seek recognition. That is begging. Why should one seek recognition? Why should one long for recognition?”
