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: Golden Mist Meditation
Posted by: mukeshChapagain on Sunday, June 03, 2007 - 08:54 AM
"So I will give you one meditation.... Every night before going to bed, just sit in your bed, put the light off. Close your eyes, relax your body and then just feel that the whole room is full of golden mist... as if gold mist is falling all around.
"Mm? just visualise it for one minute with closed eyes -- golden mist falling. And within a few days you will be able to see the whole room becoming luminous in your vision. Then inhale and feel that that golden mist is being inhaled deep in your heart. Your heart is just void, empty, and that golden mist goes into it, fills the heart.
Osho Quotes: Golden Light Meditation

"So the best time to begin is in the early morning, immediately, just when you are half-asleep, half-awake. And the process is so simple. It needs no posture, no yogasana, no bath is needed, nothing.
You simply lie down, as you are lying down in your bed, on your back. Keep your eyes closed."
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: Radiating Love
Posted by: mukeshChapagain on Friday, May 18, 2007 - 11:00 PM
Practise love. Sitting alone in your room, be loving. Radiate love. Fill the whole room with your love energy. Feel vibrating with a new frequency, feel swaying as if you are in the ocean of love. Create vibrations of love energy around you. And you will start feeling immediately that something is happening -- something in your aura is changing, something around your body is changing; a warmth is arising around your body... a warmth like deep orgasm. You are becoming more alive. Something like sleep is disappearing. Something like awareness is arising. Sway into this ocean. Dance, sing, and let your whole room be filled with love.

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: Osho on the function of Acharyas and Bodhisattvas
Posted by: Jayen on Saturday, March 10, 2007 - 10:37 AM
In 1984, an announcement was made in Rajneeshpuram of three categories of enlightened sannyasins: Siddhas, Arihantas and Acharyas. At the same time, Osho spoke several times of three committees that would continue his work after his death, composed of Mahasattvas, Sambuddhas and Bodhisattvas. To arrive at a better understanding of what these titles mean, here is a roundup of what Osho said about it:
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
