Question – Beloved Osho, I’m afraid that the world is going to end before I get enlightened. What can I Do? Osho – You seem to be very much in a hurry. If you understand me, there is no problem — right now you can become enlightened. At least right now the world has not [Continue]

Osho : Meera is a launching place for your pilgrimage. Her scripture is the scripture of love. Perhaps calling it scripture is not right. Take Narada’s BHAKTI SUTRAS — sutras of devotion — that is scripture. There one finds reasoning, method, fixed precepts. It is a system of devotion. Meera herself IS devotion. You won’t [Continue]

Question : Why has there never been a single Woman Enlightened Master? Osho : A woman cannot be a Master — it is not possible. When a woman arrives she becomes a Mistress, not a Master. The fulfilment of a woman is love. The flowering of a woman is love. Mastery is not the goal [Continue]

Osho : Jesus was trained in one of the oldest secret schools. The school was called Essenes. The teaching of the Essenes is pure Vedanta. That’s why Christians don’t have a record of what happened to Jesus before his thirtieth year. They have a little record of his childhood, and they have a record after [Continue]

Osho : Krishna comes at the pinnacle of a rationalist, intellectual culture that had left no stones unturned. We had thought everything that could be thought. From the VEDAS and Upanishads we had traveled to vedant where knowledge ends. VEDAS itself means the end of knowledge. Giants like Patanjali, Kapil, Kanad, Brihaspati and Vyas had [Continue]

Question : YOU, BUDDHA, JESUS, ETC. ARE ALL MEN. YOU SAY WOMEN ARE CLOSER TO NO-MIND. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE A MAN’S BODY? WHY ARE THERE NO WOMEN MASTERS? Osho : It is from Deva Chandan – of course, a woman who belongs to the lib movement. It is significant. The question has to be [Continue]

Osho on Ramakrishna Cancer and Ramakrishna Devotion Osho : I am reminded of a case: Ramakrishna had a cancer of the throat. In the last stage it became impossible even to drink water. All his disciples said, ”Why don’t you ask in your prayers to God to remove this cancer? We know that if you [Continue]

Osho on kabir Initation, Kabir and Ramananda Osho : Kabir is saying: Where can I find a Master who can become a bridge between me and you, whom I can tell, and trust that the message will be delivered to you, who can answer on my behalf? Where can I find a Master? The story [Continue]

Osho on Krishna Osho : Krishna is utterly incomparable, he is so unique. Firstly, his uniqueness lies in the fact that although Krishna happened in the ancient past he belongs to the future, is really of the future. Man has yet to grow to that height where he can be a contemporary of Krishna’s. He [Continue]

Osho discourse 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 [Continue]

Osho discourse 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 [Continue]

Question – What is a Mystic? Osho – I don�t know, Purna, and nobody else knows either. That�s why a mystic is called a mystic. Something indefinable, something very elusive, something that cannot be grasped, that cannot be comprehended. Not that it is something special � it is very ordinary. That makes the mystery ten [Continue]

Osho discourse on Gautam Buddha Physical death Osho – The day Gautam Buddha died, early in the morning he said to his disciples, ”It is more than enough. It is time for me to leave.” They could not understand what he meant; perhaps he meant to leave for another place. Buddha said, ”You don’t understand, [Continue]

Osho discourse on Swami Ramtirtha story Osho : Swami Ramtirtha used to tell a beautiful story: There was a very great atheist and he was continuously talking against God. He had written on the wall of his drawing-room in big golden letters: ”God is nowhere.” And then a child was born to him, and one [Continue]

Osho – We enter today into one of the most beautiful worlds, that of a small document called the DESIDERATA. It is strange because it has appeared many times and disappeared many times; hence nobody exactly knows who wrote it. Truth has the capacity to appear again and again; because of human stupidity it is [Continue]
