“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 […]
“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
“Cultivating spiritual peace, or surrender, is like eating healthy food. It doesn’t lead to immediate renewal, but over time it charges us with much more energy. This does not require sitting in the lotus position all day long. We continue to feel excitement and emotion, but more gently. Many people liken the spiritual life to […]
“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 […]
“Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.” — Abraham Lincoln This is an inspiring thought, born from an equally inspiring and successful life.
“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)

“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. […]
“A spiritual teacher from India once pointed out that there is no such thing as a gray sky. The sky is always blue. Sometimes, however, gray clouds arrive and cover the blue. Then we think the sky is gray. The same is true of our minds. We are always perfect. We cannot be otherwise. Fear […]
“What is my definition of right? That which is in harmony with existence is right, and that which is in disharmony with existence is wrong. You have to be very alert every moment because it has to be decided every moment again and again. You cannot have readymade answers about what is right and what […]
“A warrior of light sometimes—quite unintentionally—takes a false step and finds himself plunging into the abyss. Ghosts terrify him, and solitude torments him. Having always sought the Good Fight, he never imagined that this would happen to him, but it does. Shrouded in darkness, he communicates with his master. ‘Master, I have fallen into the […]
“A warrior of light often loses heart. He believes that nothing can stir in him the emotion he so desired.
