Osho Quotes and Sayings

• Meditation takes you to your purity. Your purity is witnessing, watching, awareness.
   

• I teach you celebration, rejoicing, because I know that is the door closest to your ultimate awakening. A man full of joy is close to existence. Greater is his joy, less is the distance between him and the heart of the universe.
   

• Gratitude is the quality of a religious man, and in that gratitude, by and by one starts tasting what nirvana is. Nirvana is cessation of the ego -- and when the ego ceases, god enters; when the host is no more there, then the guest comes.
   

• Because you are not aware of the inner kingdom, you always feel that something more is needed, some victory, to prove that you are not a beggar.
   

• I am neither for anything, nor against anything. My whole approach is that you should find a deep, relaxed contentment with yourself and existence.
   

• The mind is always result-oriented: What is going to happen? If I do this, then what will happen? If the cause is there, what will be the effect? The mind is always for the result; the mind is result-oriented.
   

• Remember, meditation can never be result-oriented; you simply meditate, that's all. Everything happens but it will not be a result. If you are seeking the result nothing will happen; meditation will be useless.
   

• If you can delight in small things, suddenly you will see great joy is descending in you. Joy comes from the whole. Delight creates the capacity to receive it. To remain delighted is enough to become a religious person. If you can celebrate continuously, that's enough; then God is going to descend in you. You are creating the receptivity; the response of delight creates the heart, makes it ready, makes it receptive, opens your doors.
