“I want five thousand rebellious spirits, five thousand burning torches, lights unto themselves,” declares Osho.
Osho’s introduction to the discourse series on the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra. “Tantra is not an intellectual proposition, it is an experience.”
“This story is not true… because nobody is allowed to speak of Khidr directly. The inner guide is so subtle that it cannot be expressed in words.” (Part 4)
Beloved Osho, Recently it has started happening that as I begin to open my eyes first thing in the morning I can see a vision, like a scene from a movie – and that scene happens days after in reality, just like a repetition.
“Remember, there are two modes of life: the action mode and the non-action mode. The action mode believes in action, the non-action mode believes in receptivity.” (Discourse excerpt part 2 of 4)
“The story that we are going to go into today is one of the greatest stories. It has that special flavor that only a Sufi story can have.” (Part 1)
“The golden gate is open for those who are simple, who are humble, who are almost nobodies…” adds Osho.
“When you come to me and you love me, your love has shadows on it of your past experiences,” states Osho.
“Intellectuals are profound archers – first they shoot the arrow and then they draw the target!” explains Osho.
Osho states, “In science, in archery, in other arts, concentration may be of great use – but it is not meditation.”
Before I leave the world I have to complete what I have started. I cannot leave my garden unfinished,” states Osho.
“What kind of home is this where people go on changing? It is a caravanserai. It is just an overnight stay, and then one has to go.”
“It is absolutely urgent because we don’t have much time before somebody goes crazy. Any moment the destruction of the earth is imminent,” states Osho.
“Perhaps I am the only one in the world who is in absolute support of mechanical brains taking over the work of human intelligence,” states Osho.
Osho states, “… there is no need that the revolution should happen before our eyes. It is contentment enough that you were part of a movement that changed the world.”
Osho concludes his commentaries on the last stanzas: ‘With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.’
“Desiderata says: Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. Don’t condemn yourself – you are a child of the universe,” states Osho.
Osho comments on the last stanzas of Desiderata: ‘Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.’
“In your meditative consciousness, death disappears just as darkness disappears when there is light brought in,” states Osho.
Osho speaks on further lines from the Desiderata, starting with ‘Neither be cynical about love… Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.’
Osho comments on the quote from the Desiderata: ‘Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter…’
Osho continues with the line in Desiderata: ‘Without surrender, without making any compromise, remain yourself.’
Osho speaks on the line from the Desiderata: ‘If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.’
“Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence,” and “As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons,” are the next lines of the Desiderata.
Osho speaks on these lines in the Desiderata: “Hear then the wisdom of the wise…” and “Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.”
