Mood of the Month
“Each person is potentially a god. Nobody is less than that. The seed just has to dissolve into the earth, and by seed I mean ego. And then you have no end to your capacities, no limitations… Potentially everyone is entitled to claim it, but we never claim it. We remain hidden behind the hard shell of the seed and we remain afraid, afraid to die. Unless you die you cannot hold the infinite within you, so learn to die!”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 2
Aries
“Remain cool whatsoever the situation, whatsoever the excitement. Suddenly remember that you have to be cool and relax, and catch hold of your inner coolness. If somebody is insulting you… this man is giving you an opportunity. Be thankful to him and don’t be distracted by him. If you can remain cool and indifferent, where ordinarily you get easily excited and passion is aroused, when anger comes and distracts you and you become feverish, suddenly you will see that bliss is showering all around you!”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 12
Taurus
“It is good if laziness disappears. Laziness makes one toneless. The sharpness of consciousness is lost and one becomes blurred. Nothing else is wrong in being lazy. It is just that one becomes a little blurred, and a little muddle-headedness by and by is created. One cannot remain alert, aware. One tends to become unconscious, sleepy, and sharpness of consciousness is one of the most important things in life. It should be like a sword so it can cut all roots of all complexes. Just make a little more effort!”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 5
Gemini
“There is nothing wrong with the mind. It is one of the most beautiful things in existence, the most complex the most subtle thing. The universe has taken so long to evolve mind – so it is valuable, tremendously valuable. But one should not get identified with reflections. Use the mind and don’t be used by it!… You would like to create the heart. In fact there is no need – the heart is always there only you are cut off. The bridge is broken or blocked because the whole energy moves in the mind so the heart is left by the side!”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 5
Cancer
“Energy is neutral, the same energy can move into a different mould. Have you watched sometimes a small child laughing, madly laughing, and then suddenly he starts crying, the laughter becomes crying? The opposite is also possible – the crying can become laughter… If you come to the very end of laughter, what will you do? You start crying. If you cry to the very end, you will start laughing. It is a circle and, once you know it, you can relax!”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 2
Leo
“Fullness and happiness come together. If they don’t come together then something has gone wrong. You are empty of yourself and full of the beyond… A real emptiness is always full because when the ego disappears your being flowers. The ego is blocking the flowering of the being. It cannot flower unless the ego disappears. Even for a single moment if the ego is not there, the flower starts blooming and you can feel the fragrance. That fragrance is happiness!”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 8
Virgo
“When there is too much energy it has to be used as fun – just a playing around, almost fooling around – just as small children do… Humanity will have to learn to play. They will have to drop all utilitarian ideas, and will have to use energy as fun – a simple delight in it. Not that something comes out of it. No result should be sought in it. You just release energy and the very release is a tremendously beautiful experience!”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 2
Libra
“In a love relationship thinking should not come in. It is a crazy thing to be in love. It has nothing to do with the head, one should move through the heart. It is a sort of insanity. It is good and higher than the so-called sanity, but don’t bring your mind and reasoning into it otherwise you will destroy it… In a love relationship you should be possessed. You should not try to possess. In a love relationship you should surrender, and you should not go on watching who has the upper hand. So, stop thinking!”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 5
Scorpio
“Become a declaration of bliss. Don’t hide it, manifest it as much as you can. The more you manifest bliss the more it will be coming to you. Remember a very basic law that if bliss is expressed, shared, it grows. If you hide it, it sinks and dies. And people go on doing just the opposite. They express their miseries and then that grows… Don’t miss an opportunity where you can become blissful and where you can express your bliss for small reasons – for no reason at all. Let this become your very style of life and you will be enriched tremendously!”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 3
Sagittarius
“My insistence is to create future, not to think about it, and the way to create it is to forget it completely. Just look in the present. Just live it and through it you are constantly creating the next moment. If you don’t live this moment and you go on thinking about the future, you will not be able to create it because the next moment will come out of this one, not out of your thinking. It has nothing to do with your thoughts, nothing to do with your desires and hopes. It comes out of the lived experience!”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 3
Capricorn
“Just become a spendthrift about love. Just be loving even towards strangers, towards friends, even to trees and rocks… You will see that if you touch a rock with deep love there is a response from the rock. You can almost feel it immediately that the rock has responded… So just be loving in whatsoever you do. Even if you are eating food eat very lovingly, chew the food very lovingly. Taking a shower receive the water falling on you with deep love and gratitude and in deep respect because God is everywhere and everything is divine!”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 3
Aquarius
“Power never corrupts, it only reveals corrupted people… An innocent person is not worried about power… but a corrupted person needs more power to hide the corruption, to do it and not to be caught… Money reveals; it never corrupts anybody. If you don’t have any money you cannot be corrupted, because even for corruption you will need a little money. Once you get the money then the whole trip starts!”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 5
Pisces
“It is good to feel helpless, prayer arises out of helplessness and that helplessness will help your ego to drop. If you can do something in every situation then the ego never drops. You have to come to face certain situations where you are absolutely impotent. You would like to do something but you cannot do anything… Just see the helplessness of man and all the nonsense that ego goes on thinking. Neither birth nor death are in our hands. Nothing is in our hands. Once you realise this prayer arises!”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 19
