Osho [Hindi: ओशो] (11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990), born Chandra Mohan Jain [चन्द्र मोहन जैन], and also known as Acharya Rajneesh from the 1960s onwards, as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh during the 1970s and 1980s and as Osho from 1989, was an Indian mystic, guru, and spiritual teacher who inspired a controversial spiritual movement in India, the United States, the Netherlands, Germany, and many other countries. His syncretic teachings emphasise the importance of meditation, awareness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humour — qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialisation.

Only laughter makes a man rich, but the laughter has to be blissful.

The longer a person has been dead the greater is the tradition ... If Buddha is alive you can barely tolerate him. ... You cannot believe this man has known the ultimate because he looks just like you ... Hungry he needs food, sleepy he wants a bed, ill, he has to rest – just like you ... That is why Jesus is worshiped now and yet he was crucified when he was alive. Alive, you crucify him; dead, you worship him.

People sometimes ask me , what religion are you ? i always answer by saying, ''i am a little part of all religions and and a big part of no religion

Sometimes it happens that you become one, in some rare moment. Watch the ocean, the tremendous wildness of it — and suddenly you forget your split, your schizophrenia; you relax. Or, moving in the Himalayas, seeing the virgin snow on the Himalayan peaks, suddenly a coolness surrounds you and you need not be false because there is no other human being to be false to. You fall together.

Help the world to become better. Don't leave the world just the same as you have found it - make it a little better, make it a little more beautiful.

When somebody on the outside fits with your inner image, you fall in love — that is the meaning of love.

When you love, love as if the person is a god, not less than that. Never love a woman as a woman and never love a man as a man.

If you can grow in love, you will grow in awareness. If you grow in awareness, you will grow in love...

Love the person, but give the person total freedom. Love the person, but from the very beginning make it clear that you are not selling your freedom.

So the second thing to remember is never to demand perfection. You have no right to demand anything from anybody. If somebody loves you, be thankful, but don’t demand anything — because the other has no obligation to love you.

Your Mind is a Garden,
Your Thoughts are the Seeds.
You can grow Flowers
or weeds...

This is the secret, THE secret ... De-automatize.

ترتبط اليد اليسرى بنصف كرة الدماغ الأيمن –الحدس , المخيلة , الأسطورة , الشعر , الدين – واليد اليسرى مرذولة جدا . فالمجتمع في صف اليد اليمنى – اليد اليمنى تعني نصف كرة الدماغ الأيسر . 10%من الأطفال يولدون عسراويين , لكنهم يجبرون على استخدام اليد اليمنى . ومن يولدون عسراويين يكونون غير عقلآنيين , حدسيين , غير رياضيين , إقليديسيين (هندسيين ) . إنهم خطرون على المجتمع , لذلك يجبرهم بكل الطرق الممكنة على استعمال اليد اليمنى القضية ليست قضية اليد اليسرى أو اليمنى , إنها قضية السياسة الداخلية , فالأعسر يعمل من خلال نصف الكرة الدماغي الأيمن , وهذا مالا يسمح به المجتمع ؛ لأنه خطر عليه لذلك يعيقهم عن ذلك قبل أن تستعصي الحالة.

أن الأفكار هي أشياء مرهفة، مادية. وهي ليست روحية، لأن البُعد الروحي لا يبتدئ إلا عندما تزول الأفكار.

The only problem with sadness, desperation, anger, hopelessness, anxiety, anguish, misery, is that you want to get rid of them. That’s the only barrier. You will have to live with them. You cannot just escape. They are the very situation in which life has to integrate and grow. They are the challenges of life. Accept them. They are blessings in disguise. If you want to escape from them, if you somehow want to get rid of them, then a problem arises – because if you want to get rid of something you never look at it directly.
