Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (Osho)

The past is dead, the future is unborn. Live in the present moment.

To be free is to be alone. To be alone is to be whole.

The greatest danger is not in taking a risk, but in not taking one.

Don't try to be good. Just be real.

The only hell is a life without love. The only heaven is a life full of love.

To be religious is to be a hypocrite. To be spiritual is to be authentic.

The greatest meditation is laughter. Laughter is the sound of the soul.

Your so-called saints are nothing but repressed sinners.

All ideologies are prisons. Break free from them.

The fear of death is the fear of life unlived.

Don't be a saint, be a lover. Love is the only true religion.

The moment you become a buddha, the moment you become enlightened, you are no more a human being. You are a god, you are a goddess.

To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.

Falling in love is the first step to knowing yourself. It is not about the other, it is about you.

If you are a parent, be a friend to your children. If you are a teacher, be a friend to your students. If you are a husband, be a friend to your wife. Friendship is the highest form of love.

Meditation is a way to get out of your mind and into your body.

A comfortable prison is still a prison.

Take life seriously, and you will be a prisoner. Take life playfully, and you will be a king.

The truth is not something outside you. It is something within you.

Don't be a follower. Be a light unto yourself.
