• “I’m simply saying that there is a way to be sane. I’m saying that you can get rid of all this insanity created by the past in you. Just by being a simple witness of your thought processes. It is simply sitting silently, witnessing the thoughts, passing before you. Just witnessing, not interfering not even judging, because the moment you judge you have lost the pure witness. The moment you say “this is good, this is bad,” you have already jumped onto the thought process. It takes a little time to create a gap between the witness and the mind. Once the gap is there, you are in for a great surprise, that you are not the mind, that you are the witness, a watcher. And this process of watching is the very alchemy of real religion. Because as you become more and more deeply rooted in witnessing, thoughts start disappearing. You are, but the mind is utterly empty. That’s the moment of enlightenment. That is the moment that you become for the first time an unconditioned, sane, really free human being.” ― Osho

• “Life begins where fear ends.” ― Osho Bhagwam Shree Rajneesh
• “Be realistic: Plan for a miracle” ― Osho
• “One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth.

You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.” ― Osho

Be the person you are. Never try to be another, and you will become mature. Maturity is accepting the responsibility of being oneself, whatsoever the cost. Risking all to be oneself, that’s what maturity is all about.” ― Osho
• “Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.” ― Osho

• “Nobody can say anything about you. Whatsoever people say is about themselves. But you become very shaky, because you are still clinging to a false center. That false center depends on others, so you are always looking to what people are saying about you. And you are always following other people, you are always trying to satisfy them. You are always trying to be respectable, you are always trying to decorate your ego. This is suicidal. Rather than being disturbed by what others say, you should start looking inside yourself… Whenever you are self-conscious you are simply showing that you are not conscious of the self at all. You don’t know who you are. If you had known, then there would have been no problem— then you are not seeking opinions. Then you are not worried what others say about you— it is irrelevant! When you are self-conscious you are in trouble. When you are self-conscious you are really showing symptoms that you don’t know who you are. Your very self-consciousness indicates that you have not come home yet.” ― Osho
• “Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.” ― Osho

• “The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it’s not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another person–without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other.” ― Osho
• “Courage Is a Love Affair with the Unknown” ― Osho
• “I love this world because it is imperfect. It is imperfect, and that’s why it is growing; if it was perfect it would have been dead. Growth is possible only if there is imperfection.

• “The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never.

Osho Quotes On Life That Will Change You Forever

• Whether you need a pick-me-up, or you want to become more enlightened, these Osho quotes on life will change the way you think, act, and live. Read on!
• Creativity doesn’t know any rules. Microsoft and Apple wouldn’t have come to existence if Steve Jobs and Bill Gates had not dropped out of college. You would never drive a real electric car if Musk didn’t take the enormous risks that he took. That’s the thing about great people. They don’t care about the rules.
• It is important to live in the present. We often haunt ourselves with ghosts of the past and our distorted image of the future. But the truth is that you only have the present moment to use your potential.
• Sadness comes, joy comes, and everything passes by. What remains always is the witness. The witness is beyond all polarities.
• Your soul, your spirit isn’t composed of all the stories you tell yourself. We all lose people, money, and things at some point in our lives. What remains is you. Nobody can destroy you.
• If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.
• We need to appreciate people for who they are and not what we want them to be. When we tell our partners that they cannot do this or cannot have that, we try to own their lives. And the minute we do it, the love disappears.
• Life repeats itself mindlessly – unless you become mindful, it will go on repeating like a wheel.
• Become aware of how you live and you’ll live life in its full potential. We sit with our friends and stare into our smartphones. We eat our emotions with junk food. We open Facebook a gazillion times a day only to get rid of boredom. But only if we were really present could we tune into our creativity and true essence.
• Be. Don’t try to become. Within these two words, be and becoming, your whole life is contained. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance.
• Don’t try to copy others. Stereotypes don’t define you. Don’t label yourself with words such as “nerd”, “wimp”, “rebels“, “emo” or “stud”. Labels look good on things and bad on people.
• Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.

• “Wherever you feel death, feel it. Don’t escape. Death is beautiful; death is the greatest mystery, more mysterious than life.”
• “I also teach you to love yourself first. It has nothing to do with ego. In fact, love is such a light that the darkness of the ego cannot exist in it at all. If you love others, if your love is focused on others, you will live in darkness. Turn your light toward yourself first, become a light unto yourself first. Let the light dispel your inner darkness, your inner weakness. Let love make you tremendous power, a spiritual force.”
• “Even if they can find a lover they demand perfection, and love is destroyed because of that demand.”
• “My whole love and respect are for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has courage. He has the courage to face the whole pressure of the society which is bent upon splitting him into divisions – into good and bad, into saint and sinner. He is really a brave, courageous being who stands against the whole history of man, of morality, and declares to the skies his reality, whatever it is.”
• “Intelligence comes from meditation, intelligence comes from rebellion, intelligence does not come from memory.”
• “Help the world to become better. Don’t leave the world just the same as you have found it – make it a little better, make it a little more beautiful.”
• “No relationship can truly grow if you go on holding back. If you remain clever and go on safeguarding and protecting yourself, only personalities meet, and the essential centers remain alone. Then only your mask is related, not you. Whenever such a thing happens, there are four persons in the relationship, not two. Two false persons go on meeting, and the two real persons remain worlds apart.”
• “It is not a question of money, power, and prestige; it is a question of what intrinsically you want to do. Do it, irrespective of the results, and your boredom will disappear.”
• “You are being taught everything, but you are not being taught to be yourself. This is the ugliest form of society possible because it makes everybody miserable.”
• “So the second thing to remember is never to demand perfection. You have no right to demand anything from anybody. If somebody loves you, be thankful, but don’t demand anything—because the other has no obligation to love you.”
