Osho was born to a jain family in India in 1931. Osho’s teachings create an inner awareness and love for life. He tried to build an awareness of who we are actually and come above the shallowness of life.
In this section of Osho messages we bring together a simple and small collection of Osho teachings and messages. We are sure each one of us is going to relate to these messages one way or the other and find the inner peace and answers to the debating questions that we are all looking for.
- Remember, creativity has noting to do with any particular work. Creativity has something to do with the quality of your consciousness. Whatever you do can become creative if you know what creativity means. Creativity means enjoying any work as meditation, doing any work with deep love, says Osho
- Be grateful to existence; enjoy the beautiful life that surrounds you. Love- because tomorrow is not certain. Don’t postpone anything beautiful for tomorrow. Live intensely, live totally, here and now, says Osho
- Every pleasure is momentary, it is going to disappear, and in its wake the pain. You can rationalize it; that rationalization will only help you to continue in the same old rut. But see the fact. Seeing the truth is a great liberation; seeing that every pleasure is inevitably a bringer of pain, you will be freed from both, says Osho
- Nobody can give you the meaning of your life. It is your life; the meaning has also to be yours. Nobody except you can come upon it. It is your life and it is only accessible to you. Only in living, will the mystery be revealed to you. Life is already there bubbling within you. It can be contacted only there. The temple is not outside, you are the shrine of it, says Osho
- Relate with others, but relate with yourself also. Love others, but love yourself also. Go out! – The world is beautiful, adventurous; it is a challenge, it enriches. Don’t lose that opportunity! Whenever the world knocks at your door and calls you, go out! Go out fearlessly – there is nothing to lose; there is everything to gain, says Osho
- Don’t try to understand life. Live it! Don’t try to understand love. Move into love. Then you will know…says Osho
- There is no need for any hope and there is no need to feel hopeless. Live here now. Life is tremendously blissful, it is showering here and you are looking somewhere else, says Osho
- If you really want to laugh you will have to learn how to weep. A man of laughter is also a man of tears – then the man is balanced. A man of bliss is also a man of silence. A man who is ecstatic is also a man who is centered. They both go together. And out of this togetherness of polarities a balanced being is born. And that is what the goal is says
- Express your uniqueness in whatsoever you do. Express your individuality. Let existence be proud of you. Then life will not be felt like a drag; it will become a fragrance, says Osho
- Mind means words; self means silence. Mind is nothing but all the words that you have accumulated; silence is that which has always been with you, it is not an accumulation. That is the meaning of self. It is your intrinsic quality, says Osho
- Remember more and more that you are the cause of your misery; you can become the cause of your bliss. You are the cause of the hell you are living in; you can create the heaven also. You alone are responsible and nobody else, says Osho
- Surrender means to live the same way in life as a good swimmer swims in the river. Life is a river. Either you can fight or you can float; either you can push the river and try to go against the current or you can float with the river and go wherever the river leads you. Surrender is not towards somebody; it is simply a way of life, says Osho
- Friendship has a coolness in it. Love has heat, hence it goes high, low; sometimes everything is beautiful and sometimes everything is ugly. Love changes. Friendship has a more eternal quality to it; it doesn’t change. Let love be the first step and friendship the climax, says Osho
