The Way Goes Through Technology - Osho

[Someone asks Osho: What should be done . . . about the effects of science on the environments?] It is almost too late . . . and the way that people are thinking to do something is not the way. The problem is very complicated and complex. If we can destroy all technology and we can de- school society and universities are closed for one hundred years at least and people are again allowed to become…

Watching Without Involvement

For me, the key to Osho’s watching/witnessing meditation is his instruction to watch without any involvement. He says to watch without analyzing, without judging, without grasping or rejecting. All of those activities are how I watch with involvement. So, what happens when I watch without involvement? What I notice is that as long as I am adding thought to the stream of thought by the above…

All Beliefs are Lies - Osho

Is it possible that while sannyasins might be cleaned of society’s conditioning, they can adopt certain facets of your teaching as another kind of conditioning?  – such as the need to be total, to doubt unless we know something from our own experience, not to be jealous, and so on? Could you explain how your way of working with us is not simply exchanging of one set of values – and thus…

Osho Speaks on Sannyas and the Malas

The following excerpts are from various Osho talks where he is speaking on sannyas and the malas. These are only a few of the selections that you can find at Neo-Sannyas – OSHO. If you read these chronologically, it is very clear what Osho is communicating regarding sannyas and the malas for today’s world. “From now onwards, anybody who wants initiation into sannyas will not be given a mala and…

Responsibility for My Own Meditativeness

As many of you know, much of my time living at the Ranch was spent traveling around the U.S. and Canada selling Osho’s books to bookstores and distributors. With the smaller stores, that always involved speaking about Osho and the Ranch. This work even continued after the Ranch once we moved the books to Boulder, CO. At some point during one of my sales trips from Boulder, I remember having the…

God is an Escape - Osho

The appearance of Gautam the Buddha was one of the most phenomenal events of human consciousness. Whatsoever was going on in the name of religion before he appeared stopped forever. He brought truth to such simplicity, to such felicity, to such grace. He spoke the way an enlightened person speaks – he spoke through his being. He was not a scholar, and he was not worried about speculation. He had…

Morality is Invented Religion - Osho

Is moral character absolutely useless? Vadan, moral character simply means something imposed by others on you: it is not really religious. It is a form of domination, a form of slavery, because you have not come to the understanding of what is right and what is wrong; you have been simply told by others. You don’t know really whether what you are calling “moral” is moral or immoral. One thing is…

Morality is the Greatest Enemy of Religion - Osho

The greatest enemy of religion is not materialism but morality. Why? Because morality tries to impose spirituality it is a conditioning and religion can flower only from the within, it cannot be imposed from the without. Hence morality creates an illusion of false religion. Morality is a pretender; morality is a pseudo-religion. It gives you respectability, but it does not give you understanding.…

That Melody is the Meaning – Osho mentions William Samuel

And sometimes ecstasy can be expressed through small words. Just the other day I was reading William Samuel. He writes: Pondering the enigma of communication one day out in the backcountry of my hills, I witnessed the happy reunion of a father and his five-year-old son who had been lost in the woods for many hours. I knew the boy would be found – and I knew I knew – but despite the positive…

It is Time for the Pilgrimage: Badarayana Brahma Sutra - Osho

Is not the inquiry into Satchidanand the same as Badarayana’s Athato Brahma Jigyasa? Maneesha, Badarayana’s statement, “athato brahma jigyasa” is one of the most potential statements ever made. It means, “Now begins the inquiry into the ultimate.” It is the first statement in his Brahmasutra: Maxims About the Ultimate, one of the greatest mystic books in the world. This is the first sentence of…

Only the Heart Knows the Answer - Osho

Could you please comment on how to deal with a continuous questioning mind that is not interested in any answer anyway? Or am I just a Greek donkey? The disciple who can wait will find all his questions answered at the right moment. But waiting is a great quality: it is deep patience; it is great trust. The mind cannot wait; it is always in a hurry. It knows nothing about patience; hence it goes…

Listen, says Pythagoras - Osho

Listen, says Pythagoras. Down the ages the Masters have always been saying: Listen. But what you do at the most is you hear — you don’t listen. And there is a tremendous difference between these two words. Hearing is very superficial. You can hear because you have ears, that’s all. Anybody who has ears can hear. It is an ordinary phenomenon. Listening has a different quality to it. When you hear…

God is Love - Osho

What is divine love? How does an enlightened person experience love? First let us look at the question itself. You must have been waiting to ask it. It couldn’t have come to you just now; you must have decided on it in advance. It was waiting to be asked; it was forcing you to ask it. Your memory has determined the asking, not your consciousness. If you were conscious right now, if you were in…

Trance is Always Unconscious - Osho

Can trance-like states be higher or lower than the conscious? The trance-like state is always lower than the conscious. It is always unconscious. It is a very significant question, because for centuries it has been avoided and not discussed. There have been people like Ramakrishna who used to go into a trance very easily. Ultimately Ramakrishna became enlightened, but he became enlightened when…

Witnessing where Mindfulness and Self-Inquiry Meet

At first glance, one might think that there is a significant difference between Ramana’s Self-Inquiry and Osho’s Witnessing Meditation. But in my own experience I have found that not to be the case. What I discovered is that Osho’s Watching/Witnessing Meditation incorporates Ramana’s enquiry but also extends out to reach a much larger field of practitioners. How so? you might ask. Okay, here…

Awareness is My Successor - Osho

You have said that you don’t care if there is any successor when you are gone. What do you see happening to your sannyasins, to Rajneeshism, the moment you die? I don’t at all think about it. Never does the thought occur to me, for the simple reason that the very idea goes against my approach. The people who are living with me are enjoying the moment. Do you want me alone not to enjoy the…
