Meditation Quotes of Osho

• Meditate if you want the answer which answers all questions. Stop meditating if you want to go on asking questions. Meditation is the answer.
   

• Meditation is not thinking; it is dropping of thinking.
   

• Meditation is how to drop knowledge. Meditation means how to become ignorant again. Meditation means how to become a child again, a rosebush, a rock. Meditation means how just to be and not to think. When I say to you to be yourself, I mean meditate. Don't try to be anybody else. You cannot be! You can try, and you can deceive yourself and you can promise yourself and you can hope that someday you will become somebody else, but you cannot become. These are only illusions that you can go on having. These are dreams. They are not going to become realities ever. You will remain yourself whatsoever you do.
   

• Once you know meditation, you don't have to follow anybody. You have your own eyes open, and you have your light just ahead of you showing the path, and all that is right and all that is good happens choicelessly. It is not that you are doing it, you cannot do otherwise.
   

• Meditation is nothing but renouncing borrowed knowledge and becoming fully aware of one's ignorance. This brings a metamorphosis. The moment you are aware of your ignorance, ignorance goes through such a great change that unless it happens it remains unbelievable. The very ignorance becomes your innocence.
   

• Slowly slowly, meditation becomes your very life, your very heartbeat. That day is the most blessed day when you don't have to meditate -- you are meditation. Your very being, whatever you are doing or not doing, is silent, peaceful, loving, alert and aware of its eternity.
   

• Mind only thinks, meditation lives. Mind is a very small thing.
  Meditation is as vast as the whole universe. I teach you the vastness, I teach you universality, I teach you eternity. You are not what you appear in the mirror, you are much more. You are vast, as vast as the whole universe.
   

• In ancient India there were methods for how to conceive a child. Unless you are tremendously in deep meditation, don't make love. Let meditation be a preparation for love: that is the whole meaning of tantra. Let meditation be the basis -- only then make love. Then you invite greater souls. The deeper you are, the greater soul will be invited.
