“Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.”
― Osho

“Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.”
― Osho

“Nobody can say anything about you. Whatsoever people say is about themselves. But you become very shaky, because you are still clinging to a false center. That false center depends on others, so you are always looking to what people are saying about you. And you are always following other people, you are always trying to satisfy them. You are always trying to be respectable, you are always trying to decorate your ego. This is suicidal. Rather than being disturbed by what others say, you should start looking inside yourself…

Whenever you are self-conscious you are simply showing that you are not conscious of the self at all. You don’t know who you are. If you had known, then there would have been no problem— then you are not seeking opinions. Then you are not worried what others say about you— it is irrelevant!

When you are self-conscious you are in trouble. When you are self-conscious you are really showing symptoms that you don’t know who you are. Your very self-consciousness indicates that you have not come home yet.”
― Osho

“Many people have come and left, and it has been always good because they emptied some space for better people. It is a strange experience, that those who have left me have always left places for a better quality of people. I have never been a loser”
― Osho

“Truth is not to be found outside. No teacher, no scripture can give it to you. It is inside you and if you wish to attain it, seek your own company. Be with yourself. ”
― Osho

“They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then think as much as you want!”

“Immature people falling in love destroy each other’s freedom, create a bondage, make a prison. Mature persons in love help each other to be free; they help each other to destroy all sorts of bondages. And when love flows with freedom there is beauty. When love flows with dependence there is ugliness.

A mature person does not fall in love, he or she rises in love. Only immature people fall; they stumble and fall down in love. Somehow they were managing and standing. Now they cannot manage and they cannot stand. They were always ready to fall on the ground and to creep. They don’t have the backbone, the spine; they don’t have the integrity to stand alone.

A mature person has the integrity to stand alone. And when a mature person gives love, he or she gives without any strings attached to it. When two mature persons are in love, one of the great paradoxes of life happens, one of the most beautiful phenomena: they are together and yet tremendously alone. They are together so much that they are almost one. Two mature persons in love help each other to become more free. There is no politics involved, no diplomacy, no effort to dominate. Only freedom and love.”
― Osho

“من رواية بلوجرز:

فتلك هي اللعبة التي أتقنها الإنسان منذ قديم الأزل ولم يملّ منها ابدا ... لعبة
الموت ...القتل ... الصيد .. ولكن مع تطور الزمن واختلاف الطبقات ، انتقل البعض
الى مقاعد المتفرجين او المشجعين ، وان كانوا لا يمانعون بأن يُقتَل البعض ، وان يقتلوا
بعضهم البعض ، قد يكون بداعي الكسل أو إدعاء البراءة آثروا ان يلعبوا دور المحرضين
والجلادين والمشجعين في آن واحد ، وان كان العبيد قديما يمارسون اللعبة ويَقْتُلون ويُقتَلون
لمجرد القتل وطاعة لأسياد الماضي ، فمازال في حاضرنا هذ الآف من العبيد ومئات من
الأسياد.”
― Motaz Abd El Kareem
