Nivedano… (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano… (Drumbeat) Be silent, close your eyes. Feel your body to be frozen. Gather your consciousness inwards, deeper and deeper…. This silence, this peace, this blissfulness discovers the buddha within you. For these few moments you are a buddha and it is up to you, if you can remember – then you
Q: Osho, are you really crazy? How can I be crazy? I have no mind out of which to go. Osho, The First Principle, Ch 10, Q 4
The concept of the successor is bureaucratic. The very idea of succession is not the right idea in the world of consciousness. That’s why I have said, I will not have successors. But you are right in saying that you will carry in your bones and in your blood my love, my insight. But don’t
Osho always favours vegetarianism; we show here the only time we heard him contradict this and the reasons for it.
My whole message is: Accept the you that you are, because God accepts it. God respects it, and you have not respected your being yet. Be immensely happy that God has chosen you to be, that God has chosen you to exist, to see his world, to listen to his music, to see his stars,
The third world war is coming closer, but I am not interested in avoiding it or bringing it. Who cares? My whole interest is in you, and I want you to become aware that this earth is not going to live for long. If this becomes an awareness in you it will be a transforming
Now … Nivedano … (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano … (Drumbeat) Be silent, close your eyes, feel as if your body is frozen, and gather all your consciousness inwards, deeper and deeper. At the deepest point you are the buddha. And this buddha has to become your whole life. All expressions, actions, have to arise from this
The bodhisattvas make every effort to awaken people, knowing perfectly well that out of a million people, perhaps one may understand them and the remaining will either be indifferent, or most probably will misunderstand. Bodhisattvas know perfectly well that speaking the truth is a very shortcut way to create enemies in the world, because the
Nivedano… (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano… (Drumbeat) Be silent. Close your eyes. Feel the body to be completely frozen. Go inwards with your total energy, with a great urgency, as if this is the last moment of your life and you have to reach to the center and the source of your being. Deeper and deeper, your
On this pilgrimage I have met many more remarkable men than Gurdjieff recounts in his book, Meetings with Remarkable Men.
Boredom is absolutely human. A buffalo is never bored, a donkey is never bored – only man, only a highly evolved consciousness. If you are not bored with your life, it simply shows that you live in a very low state of consciousness. A Buddha is bored, a Jesus is bored, a Mahavira is bored
The positive people have to come out in the light, and tell with emphasis their own experiences and what they understand about me and my relationship to my people. Unless they come out and do it, they are in an indirect way helping the negative people. Because if those negative people are not contradicted, it
In chapter 21 of Glimpses of a Golden Childhood, Osho says that Shambhu Dube, Shambhu Babu, “was a poet, but never published his poetry while he was still alive…
Osho speaks on James Lovelock’s Gaia hypothesis and suggests he should look to the East for support.
It has to be understood very clearly that nobody has a duty to spread my vision, my message to the people. I hate the very word missionary. These are the ugliest creatures on the earth. I don’t want to create missionaries. You have to be utterly selfish, concentrated on only one aim: becoming enlightened. As
America is in the grip of a very monstrous regime, and naturally they became afraid of a small commune that could become a model and people could become attracted to it. They were not so much afraid of Soviet Russia – it is so far away. We were amidst them. And their fear is natural.

Osho speaks on hypnosis and its use for childbirth and the ecstasy which can be experienced while giving birth.
Meditation is not a solution of any problem in particular; it solves nothing. It simply helps you to get rid of the mind, the problem-creator. It simply helps you to slip out of the mind as a snake slips out of the old skin. Once you know you are not the mind the great transcendence
This always happens: when I say something, I create two groups of people around me. One group will be exoteric. They will organize, they will do many things concerned with society, with the world that is without; they will help preserve whatsoever I am saying. The other group will be more concerned with the inner
Osho speaks to a small group of people during dental sessions on a variety of ancient, old and contemporary books.
Osho speaks on Jean-Paul Sartre, the French existentialist philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic (21 June 1905 – 15 April 1980).
There are animals who are crying out to be freed from their forms. It happened at a camp in Matheran. I was staying very far away from the campus ground. The first evening, when I was going to my bungalow, a dog followed – really a rare dog. Then the dog remained continuously. Three times
“Enlightenment is the open sky of insecurity. It is vastness, it is uncharted ocean. The journey is from one unknown to another unknown,” declares Osho.
When Gautama the Buddha Auditorium becomes too small to contain all the seekers coming to Poona, our Beloved Master goes on a tour of the universe looking for a new site.
With the old, there is a guarantee. Millions and millions of people have followed it, how can so many people be wrong? That is the guarantee. If so many people say it is right, it must be right. In fact the logic of life is just the opposite. If so many people are following a
