Belief is the opium which all the religions have been giving you in good doses.
I am trying to destroy your addiction to the opium. My whole effort is to leave you alone.
Yes, you will feel fear, you will feel a certain trembling, you will feel all is lost; but this is just in the beginning. A little patience – it is a passing phase. Soon you will feel a tremendous energy arising in you which would have never arisen in the crowd, with its beliefs, because there was no need: you were spoon-fed; there was no need for you to think about your food on your own.
I am taking every consolation, every comfort – I mean spiritually – so you are completely alone in your being. And then take the hypothesis: Meditate, be silent, just watch yourself.
Osho, From Personality to Individuality, Ch 13, Q1
Up to now, nobody has said, that there is anything beyond enlightenment. That’s why I say, I am a milestone. With me, a new chapter in the history of consciousness begins. Enlightenment will be now the beginning, not the end. Beginning of a non-ending process in all dimensions of richness.
Osho, The Last Testament, Vol 6, Ch 12
This is my attitude: you are here, every individual is here, the whole existence is available. All that you need is just to be silent and listen to existence. There is no need of any religion, there is no need of any God, there is no need of any priesthood, there is no need of any organization.
I trust in the individual categorically. Nobody up to now has trusted in the individual in such a way.
So all things can be removed. Now all that has been left to you is a state of meditation which simply means a state of utter silence. The word meditation makes it look heavier. It is better to call it just a simple, innocent silence and existence opens all its beauties to you.
Osho, The Last Testament, Vol 5, Ch 6
