Posted by: hansa on Friday, December 04, 2009 - 11:34 AM
Someone once asked Osho: "Beloved Osho, what are the qualities of a sannyasin?"
He answered "It is very difficult to define a sannyasin, and more so if you are going to define my sannyasins." [continued below]
Osho Quotes: Meditation is a state of stillness.

Your last words at this morning's discourse were "Meditate on this." What do you mean? How does one who only knows how to think about things learn to meditate on things?
Osho Quotes: Today the Russian people feel immense emptiness.

Beloved Master,
There was no place for any god in the work of the russian mystic, George Gurdjieff, yet he did not attract a large number of disciples in Western Europe or in his home country. Was this more a reflection of his abilities as a communicator or were the Russian people simply not ready to receive him?
Osho Quotes: How does one overcome the pull toward sex so that the kundalini can go upward?
Posted by: mukeshChapagain on Tuesday, September 25, 2007 - 01:00 AM
"Energy has been going downward through the sex center continuously for many births, so when any energy is created it will first try to move downward. That is why meditation sometimes will create more sexuality in you than you have ever felt before. You will feel more sexual because you have generated more energy than you previously had. When you have conserved something, the old, habitual passage is ready to release it. The mechanism is ready, the old passage is ready. Your mind only knows one passage -- the lower one, the sexual passage -- so when you are meditating the first movement of your life energy will be downward. Just be aware of it."
Osho Quotes: The Cunning Human Mind

"I have heard a story about Mulla Nasruddin. He was coming from a faraway journey in a small ship, and a great storm arose and it appeared that there seemed to be no chance of surviving."
Osho Quotes: What is Meditation?
Posted by: mukeshChapagain on Monday, May 07, 2007 - 11:00 PM
Meditation is not an Indian method; it is not simply a technique. You cannot learn it. It is a growth: a growth of your total living, out of your total living. Meditation is not something that can be added to you as you are. It can come to you only through a basic transformation, a mutation. It is a flowering, a growth. Growth is always out of the total; it is not an addition. You must grow toward meditation.

Osho Quotes: Becoming and Being
Posted by: mukeshChapagain on Saturday, April 14, 2007 - 02:27 PM
Osho, please tell us something about the tensions and relaxations of the seven bodies.
The original source of all tension is becoming. One is always trying to be something; no one is at ease with himself as he is. The being is not accepted, the being is denied, and something else is taken as an ideal to become. So the basic tension is always between that which you are and that which you long to become.
Osho Quotes: Osho on Discipline
Posted by: mukeshChapagain on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 12:32 PM
Osho speaks on Discipline in his discourse series given at Osho Commune, Pune, India during spring and summer of 1980.
Osho, you say: "Go beyond the mind. Do not listen to its chatter. Discipline it and make it a servant. Do not be its slave. But how to know when the mind is being disciplined and when it is being repressed? Also, when I took sannyas the other night you said not to get hooked on you.
I have to tell you that you are closing the stable door after this particular horse has already bolted."
Osho Quotes: Shaktipat
Posted by: Jayen on Saturday, March 03, 2007 - 01:04 PM
Up until 1980, Osho used a "Shaktipat" method in darshans that involved touching the disciple's third eye. In the discourse segment below, he explains why he abandoned this flawed method, and what took its place in his work.
Osho Quotes: Samadhi
Posted by: The Great Pumpkin on Friday, January 19, 2007 - 11:00 AM
"Just like wings ... your consciousness will fly into eternity. You will be a swan going to its home, disappearing into the blue sky, into the ultimate cosmos."
"We have called the awakened ones by another name also: paramahansa, the great swan, who flies alone into the unknown and disappears into the cosmos, becomes one with the cosmos -- not a part but the whole."
Osho, from "Christianity: The Deadliest Poison and Zen: The Antidote to All Poisons", ch 3

Note:16 years ago today, Osho disappeared into the cosmos.
Osho Quotes: The Threat of Terrorism
Posted by: The Great Pumpkin on Thursday, October 19, 2006 - 12:49 PM
Beloved Osho,
I've heard that in europe the threat of terrorism is striking fear in everyone. Airplanes are delayed by extraordinary security measures, many of the seats are empty, and some airports are closing. People are even thinking twice about going out in the evening. And all this is more prevalent since the recent bombing of Libya. Is the rise of terrorism over the last decade in some way symbolic of what is happening to society in general?
Osho Quotes: The Law Of Reverse Effect
Posted by: The Great Pumpkin on Saturday, September 09, 2006 - 11:00 PM
Beloved Osho.
Every religion degenerates into a moralistic institution. You commend Lao Tzu because no religion could grow from his way. How can those who love you avoid such an institutional degeneration of your inspiration?
Osho Quotes: Fear And The Four Stages Of Love
Posted by: The Great Pumpkin on Thursday, August 24, 2006 - 01:00 AM
Fear is a negativity, an absence. This has to be understood very, very deeply. If you miss there you will never be able to understand the nature of fear. It is like darkness. Darkness does not exist, it only appears to be. In fact it is just an absence of light. Light exists; remove the light - there is darkness.
