Osho on Centering, Osho on Inner center

Osho on Centering inner center

Osho : The world is transformed by people who live in this world as if this world is just a dream.

Osho on Wu Wei and the Way of the Heart

Osho on Wu Wei

Question : Wu Wei and the way of the Heart – How are they Interrelated? Osho : They are not interrelated; they are one and the same thing – just two ways of saying the same thing.

Osho on Satori, Satori is a glimpse of samadhi

Osho - Satori is a glimpse of samadhi

Osho : What happens when you simply sit? The whole energy that has been moving in the body, outside the body, in actions, is no more moving. You become a pool of energy. The energy goes on gathering; you become a reservoir. In zazen you are not even allowed to sway or move your body, [...]

Osho on Sufism, Sufism is a vision

Osho on Sufism

Osho : Sufism is a vision. In fact to call it ’Sufism’ is not right because it is not an ’ism’ at all. Sufis don’t call it ’Sufism’; it is the name given by the outsiders. They call their vision TASSAWURI, a love-vision, a loving approach towards reality. It is falling in love with existence. [...]

Osho on Sannyas

Question : How is One to know that Sannyas is Good? Osho : Sir, the proof of the pudding is in its tasting. Become a sannyasin: there is no other way. It is an experience; you have to know it through your own experience. And it is such an interior experience that nothing can be [...]

Osho on Teacher and a Master, Teachers are many, masters few

Osho on Teacher and a Master

Osho : Many buddhas have existed, but once in a while a buddha becomes a master. The famous name of Gautam the Buddha is famous just because of his being a master. Millions of buddhas preceded him, but they were not masters. It happened: One day somebody asked Buddha, ‘You have almost fifty thousand sannyasins [...]

Osho on harmony with existence – Try to be harmonious with life

Osho on harmony with existence

Osho : Once you become alive, once your life energy arises, you will suddenly feel that you fit with existence, but you don’t fit with the society. And I tell you: if you don’t fit with the society, don’t bother about it, because ultimately it means nothing. The only thing that will be meaningful ultimately [...]

Osho on Generosity, Generosity is real richness

Osho on Generosity

Osho : Generosity is the real richness. And to be generous, to share, you don’t need many things. To be generous, you just have to share whatsoever you have. You may not have much – that is not the point. Who has much? Who can ever have enough? It is never much, it is never [...]

Osho on Diogenes, Diogenes lived naked, but his nakedness was very, very beautiful

Osho on Diogenes

Osho : Why do you want to hide your body from others? What is wrong with it? Society, civilization, culture, they have conditioned your minds to believe that something is wrong with the body. You feel guilty if you are caught naked. And laws exist and courts to force you not to be naked. And [...]

Osho on Nirvana, Nirvana is the stuff you are made of

Osho discourse on Nirvana

Question : What is Nirvana? Osho : This story is about NIRVANA… this ancient Buddhist story. An exceptionally beautiful young woman, Enyadatta, enjoyed nothing quite as much as gazing at herself in the mirror. She was a little crazy, as all human beings are. When she looked into her mirror one morning, the figure in [...]

Osho on Mary Magdalene and Judas, Jesus disciple Mary Magdalene

Osho on Mary Magdalene and Judas

Osho : Remember Mary Magdalene? She seems to me the only true follower of Jesus. Her authenticity, her daring, is immense. Jesus had come to her house and she poured precious perfume on his feet, washed the feet with the perfume, then wiped the feet with her hair. She was sitting there crying tears and [...]

Osho on Kabir death, Osho on Mystic Kabir Death in Maghar

Osho on Kabir death

Osho : Nobody can save anybody else – and it is good that nobody can save anybody else. Otherwise even your liberation would be a kind of enforcement. It would be as if you have been forced to enter into heaven – two persons following you with naked swords and forcing you to enter into [...]

Osho on Gurus Work, What a Guru can Do

Osho on Gurus work

Question – What can a Guru do for you? Osho – The question is from Vidya’s mother, Sigrid. She must be worried about Vidya, about what is happening to Vidya here. And, deep down, she is nagging Vidya and trying to take back. It is natural, nothing is wrong in it; a mother, after all, [...]

Osho on Sage Ashtavakra and Yagnavalkya

Osho on Ashtavakra and Yagnavalkya

Osho – The inner is tremendously powerful, the outer is very weak. The inner is eternal, the outer is very temporary. How many years do you remain young? And as youth fades away you start feeling that you are becoming ugly, unless your inner being is also growing with your age. Then even in your [...]

Osho on Badarayana’s statement, ”Athato Brahma Jigyasa”

Osho on Badarayana’s statement

Question – Beloved Osho, Is not the inquiry into ‘sachchidanand’ the same as badarayana’s ”athato Brahma jigyasa”? Osho : Maneesha, Badarayana’s statement, ”athato brahma jigyasa” is one of the most potential statements ever made. It means, ”Now begins the inquiry into the ultimate.” It is the first statement in his BRAHMASUTRA: MAXIMS ABOUT THE ULTIMATE, [...]

Osho on Stages of Enlightenment, Christhood, Buddhahood

Osho on Enlightenment, Christhood or Buddhahood

Osho – There are no stages. Enlightenment — or Christhood or Buddhahood — happens in a single split second, there are not gradual stages. When Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist in the River Jordan, the journey started — not Christhood. The seed started moving towards being a tree, the seed was broken in [...]

Osho on Jesus miracles, Osho on Jesus Christ Miracles

Osho on Jesus Christ miracles

Osho : Jesus’ miracles happened because the people were very trusting. Once it happened: he was walking and a woman — a very poor woman, afraid and apprehensive about whether Jesus would treat her or not, because he was always crowded by so many people — the woman thought to herself, “Just touch Jesus’ garment [...]

Osho – There is a story I would like to tell you about a Sufi mystic, Sheikh Farid. He was going towards the river one day to take his morning bath. A seeker followed him and asked him, “Please, just wait for one minute. You look so filled with the divine, but I don’t even [...]

Osho on Ramakrishna Mission, Ramakrishna Mission is not true to Ramakrishna

Osho on Ramakrishna Mission

Osho : This is the oldest format: the Master is preceded by a disciple who functions as a predecessor and prepares the ground. Because of its defects and limitations, there has been another, the opposite. Ramakrishna is succeeded by Vivekanand; he is not preceded by anybody. The Master comes first, then the disciple follows. This [...]

Osho on Jesus Christ and Christianity, Christianity has nothing to do with Christ

Osho on Jesus Christ and Christianity

Osho : I WILL SPEAK ON CHRIST, but not on Christianity. Christianity has nothing to do with Christ. In fact, Christianity is anti-Christ — just as Buddhism is anti-Buddha and Jainism anti-Mahavir. Christ has something in him which cannot be organized: the very nature of it is rebellion and a rebel]ion cannot be organized. The [...]

Osho on P.D. Ouspensky’s Tertium Organum.

Osho on P.D. Ouspensky’s Tertium Organum

Osho – Second is P.D. Ouspensky’s TERTIUM ORGANUM. It is a miracle that he wrote it before he had even heard of Gurdjieff. He wrote it before he knew what he was writing. He understood it himself only afterwards, on meeting Gurdjieff. His first words to George Gurdjieff were: ”Looking into your eyes I have [...]

Osho on Gurdjieff Book ‘All And Every thing’

Osho on Gurdjieff Book

Gurdjieff Osho – I forgot to say something about Gurdjieff and his book ALL AND EVERYTHING – perhaps because it is a very strange book, not even readable. I don’t think there are any living individuals except me who have read from the first page to the last. I have come across many Gurdjieff followers, [...]
