“Bliss is true happiness. What you call happiness is just misery in disguise. What you call happiness is nothing but entertainment, pleasure. It is momentary – it cannot be true. Truth has to have one quality, and the quality is of eternity.”
— Osho
“Without your possessions, success, fame—who are you? You don’t know. You are your name, you are your fame, you are your prestige, your power. But other than these who are you? So this whole possessiveness becomes your identity. It gives you a false sense of being. That’s the ego.”
— Osho (via thebuddhistmind)
“Let-go means no competition, no struggle, no fight…just relaxing with existence, wherever it leads. Not trying to control your future, not trying to control consequences, but allowing them to happen… not even thinking about them. Let-go is in the present; consequences are tomorrow. And let-go is such a delightful experience, a total relaxation, a deep synchronicity with existence.”
— ~ Osho

“‘I have so many problems with my mind in every meditation—I can’t stop it!’ I understand. Start doing one thing: every day, for one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon, sit and say whatsoever comes in the mind, loudly, mm? so that not only do you think it, you hear it. Whatsoever it is—if nonsense comes, let it: you are not to edit it and you are not to make it beautiful because it is not meant to be a performance; it has to be that which is inside. If a few words come—and they will—if the sentence is not even complete and the words stop, then stop; don’t complete it. Then if something else comes, say that. But whatsoever comes, just watch it, articulate it, say it… whatsoever it is! You have that garbage in the mind, it has to be thrown. You don’t throw it so it goes on revolving inside. Nothing is a problem; you are creating a problem. People go on keeping that garbage, they don’t throw it. It is as if you are accumulating garbage in your house and you don’t throw it outside so it stinks and when it becomes too much you are disturbed. Wherever you move it is always there and everywhere you come across it. It has to be thrown! The mind creates a certain garbage just as the body does—it is part of life. You eat something: a part of it is digested—becomes your blood, your bones, your flesh, your marrow—but ninety percent of it is just rubbish that has to be thrown out. If you don’t throw it you will accumulate it in your stomach and then you will be creating poison for your body. That’s what happens when somebody is too constipated, he starts creating toxins in the body; then the poison will circulate in the blood. The same food that was going to be nourishment will become a deathly poison… the same food! So one has to go on throwing it out. The mind functions in exactly the same way on a subtle plane. You hear somebody talk, you are hearing me talk, you read a book, you are in the market, you listen to people, you see a movie, you listen to the radio, you read the newspaper, all this is going in. Part of it will be digested—a very small part of it is worth digesting; the remaining—what will you do with it? It will go on revolving. That’s how you know that it is not important. When somebody is constipated it is not that he is holding gold in his stomach—it is just rubbish, excreta. And that’s what goes on moving in the mind: excreta. One has to understand the process: just as you cleanse your body, you cleanse your intestines, just as everyday you throw the excreta out of the body and that keeps you healthy, in the same way mind needs to be cleansed every day. So this will help you—one hour in the morning, one hour in the afternoon. First many thoughts will come, mm? After a few days you will see thoughts are not coming but only fragmentary words… not even thoughts but just words. Then by and by you will start feeling that even words are no more coming but sounds—gibberish. When gibberish starts coming, come back; then you have touched the right level. Now thoughts are not coming, words are not coming, gibberish is coming. That means that much is cleaned and then meditation will be easy. This you have to continue at least for six months—this will be your meditation—and you will be completely freed.”
— Osho (Far Beyond the Stars)
The Master vs. The Teacher
The master may not know more than you, he may not even know that much as you know, but he IS more - he has more being… His being is his teaching… A “teacher” gives you much to dream about, to desire about; the “master” hammers on all your dreams and destroys them… He takes away all your masks so you can know your original face… His work is difficult and only the very courageous people can be with him…
The master is against your sleep; the teacher is a sedative, a tranquilizer… The master is not a solace, is not a consolation, is not a tranquilizer… The master hurts, wounds (it is painful), but he (or she) transforms…
The teacher enhances your ego… The MASTER is against all teachers…
~ Osho
The ultimate cannot be given
The ultimate cannot be given in any possible way. I go on talking to you, but it is not that which I would like to say. That which I would like to say to you cannot be spoken, and that which can be said is not really the thing that I would like to say to you… It is the ancient dilemma, the dilemma of the mystic… He knows, but he cannot say it; and whatsoever he says is not what he knows…
And what I have to say to you is inexhaustible; hence I can go on speaking. For these many years I have been speaking non-stop, and yet I have not said anything – not even a single word has been said! Hence I can go on speaking, because it can never be said…
One can ask, “Then why speak at all?!” There is a reason to it: I have caught so many of you through speaking! If I was just sitting silently here, yes, a few people would have been here, but very few, because silence is a difficult phenomenon, the most difficult to understand… It needs tremendous intelligence; not only intelligence, it needs a certain silence in you too. Then only, two silences can commune… And the world does not teach you to be silent; it teaches you words, language. I have to use words and language so that you become caught in the net… Once you are caught and cannot escape, then you will have to listen to my silence too… And once you have understood my words, you will start feeling the silence that surrounds those words… Those words are born out of silence; they carry something of silence in them, some fragrance around them…
But what I have been saying to you is only the most rudimentary; it is for the beginners… As you grow in understanding, as your silence deepens, my contact with you will be more and more of silence… Even while I am speaking, you will listen to the intervals between the words and you will read between the lines… You will not be so much concerned with the words, but with the wordless… You will be more concerned with the origin of it all…
~ Osho
Do you know that the words meditation and medicine come from the same root? Meditation is a kind of medicine; its use is only for the time being. Once you have learned the quality, then you need not do any particular meditation, then the meditation has to spread all over your life. Only when you are meditative twenty-four hours a day then can you attain, then you have attained. Even sleeping is meditation.

Einstien on religion
I have heard, Albert Einstein used to say 'Religion without science is blind, and science without religion is lame.' With a little change, I would like to agree - but that little change has much to say.
Einstein says 'Religion without science is blind.' That is not right. Rather, 'Religion without science is lame, and science without religion is blind' - because religion gives eyes. It gives insight into reality, it gives insight within and without. Yes, it is true - without science religion is lame, it cannot walk.
You can see it in the East, the East is lame - actually lame. And the West is blind, actually blind.
Science gives energy, power, speed, technology, but it does not give you insight into what to do with it. It gives you insight only into matter, but not insight into your own being. So the insight into matter goes on becoming greater and greater technology, and you don't know what to do with it.
And when technology is there you have to do something with it. Science gives power without giving you wisdom, that is the danger. And religion gives you wisdom without giving you power, that is the danger. In the East, people have eyes but no power to do anything.
The future will have a new kind of synthesis happening: science and religion meeting and merging into each other. Then man will not be lame and man will not be blind.
Indifference looks like detachment, but it is not; indifference is simply no interest. Detachment is not absence of interest — detachment is absolute interest, tremendous interest, but still with the capacity of non-clinging… Enjoy the moment while it is there and when the moment starts disappearing, as everything is bound to disappear, let it go. That is detachment…

👁 the Master is a mirror….
So finally you are following yourself——I am just a via media—— And that has to be remembered ::: I only reflect you— I only throw you back on yourself.
I am a mirror:that’s the only function. If I can fulfil;if I can make you aware of your real face, my work is finished.

Thirty-five is the peak age. Sex energy is at the peak, and then everything declines and one begins to be old, on the dying path. Seventy or so will be the death age. If fifty can be the peak of sexual energy, then a hundred will be the death age. The West will soon attain a hundred years as a normal, average age, because now a fifty-year-old behaves like a boy. It is good. It shows the society is alive. It shows that now life will be lengthened. If a hundred-year-old man can behave like a playboy, then life will be lengthened to two hundred years, because sex is the basic energy. Because of sex you are young and because of sex you will be old. Because of sex you are born and because of sex you will die. And not only that: Buddha and Mahavir and Krishna, they say that because of sexual desire you will be born again. Not only is your present body run by sex, but all your bodies in continuity are run by sexual desire. Sex is horizontal. When you are totally aware, sex becomes vertical. And that vertical movement of sex is kundalini. If sex moves horizontally, then you go on reproducing others and reproducing yourself. If the energy begins to move upward, vertically, you just go out - out of the wheel of Existence: as the Buddhists say, out of the wheel of life. This is a new birth - not in a new body, but in a new dimension of Existence. This Buddhists have called Nirvana. You can call it MOKSHA - liberation - or whatsoever you like to call it. Names do not mean much.
