“Your salvation comes not in the action of another, but in your own reaction.” Neale Donald Walsch Taking responsibility for our lives is the only place where true and deep changes begin. These are changes that we first implement within ourselves, and only then do we see them reflected in external circumstances. Until we realize—not […]
“Life begins at the edge of your comfort zone. You won’t find glory at the center of safety, but at its edge. You won’t find love at a place where you are covered, but in the space where you are exposed. You gotta take some risks. You have to not only pick up the dice, […]
Below is a translation of a discourse by Osho on human relationships, which comments on the seemingly paradoxical question of whether it is better to be alone or with someone else, if in both cases we are unhappy. The Question: I am afraid of loneliness. At the moment I am not in a relationship—something I […]
“Nothing can happen because meditation, God, and prayer are not matters of technique. You can learn the technique, but nothing will happen until the question is first heard, until it becomes a deep longing within you for which you can stake your life—until it becomes a matter of life and death, until it penetrates the […]
“We must begin with ourselves before we can understand what the end purpose of life is, and what all this means—the wars, the national antagonisms, the conflicts, and all this mess. It seems very easy, but it is actually extraordinarily difficult. To study ourselves, to see how our thoughts operate, we must be unusually observant. […]
The usual way of achieving our desires is by deciding what we want and then mobilizing our will to achieve it. However, there is another way—Pamela Kribbe calls it “the way of the heart,” and its most important elements are the energy of acceptance, unconditional love, and inner peace. When we walk this path, we […]
I share another very insightful and beautiful text from Osho on the subject of sadness and what it means to celebrate the wholeness of life, including the sadness in it. “Even about misery you can take an attitude of celebration. For example: you are sad – don’t get identified with sadness. Become a witness and […]
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 […]
