OSHO-the gr8

1. • "Experience life in all possible ways --
   good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light,
   summer-winter. Experience all the dualities.
   Don't be afraid of experience, because
   the more experience you have, the more
   mature you become."

1. "Falling in love you remain a child; rising in love
   you mature. By and by love becomes not a
   relationship, it becomes a state of your being. Not
   that you are in love - now you are love"

1. "If you really want to know who I am,
   you will have to be absolutely empty as I am.
   Then two mirrors will be facing each other,
   and only emptiness will be mirrored."
2. "Infinite emptiness will be mirrored
   : two mirrors facing each other . But
   if you have some idea, then you will
   see your own idea in me."

1. "The heart is always right-- if there's a
   question of choosing between the mind and
   the heart-- because mind is a creation of
   the society. It has been educated. You
   have been given it by the society, not by
   existence. The heart is unpolluted."

1. "The heart knows nothing of the past,
   nothing of the future; it knows only of the
   present. The heart has no time concept."

1. "Seriousness is a sickness; your sense of
   humor makes you more human, more
   humble. The sense of humor -- according
   to me -- is one of the most essential
   parts of religiousness."

1. "To be alone in the only real revolution.
   To accept that you are alone is the greatest
   transformation that can happen to you."
2. 
   

3. "Mind can accept any boundary anywhere. But the reality is that, by its very nature, existence cannot have any boundary, because what will be beyond the boundary - again another sky. That's why I'm saying skies upon skies are available for your flight. Don't be content easily. Those who remain content easily remain small: small are their joys, small are their ecstasies, small are their silences, small is their being. But there is no need! This smallness is your own imposition upon your freedom, upon your unlimited possibilities, upon your unlimited potential."

   "Nobody is here to fulfill your dream. Everybody is here to fulfill his own destiny, his own reality."

1. "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."

1. "Ecstasy is our very nature; not to be ecstatic is simply unnecessary. To be ecstatic is natural, spontaneous. It needs no effort to be ecstatic, it needs great effort to be miserable. That's why you look to tired, because misery is really hard work; to maintain it is really difficult, because you are doing something against nature."

2. "Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love.

1. "You can go on changing the outer for lives and you will never be satisfied; something or other will remain to be changed. Unless the inner changes, the outer can never be perfect."

1. "When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised."

1. "The beauty of facing life unprepared is tremendous. Then life has a newness, a youth; then life has a flow and freshness. Then life has so many surprises. And when life has so many surprises boredom never settles in you."

1. "Do you think the people who were trying to reach to the Everest were not full of doubts? For a hundred years, how many people tried and how many people lost their lives? Do you know how many people never came back? But, still, people come from all over the world, risking, knowing they may never return. For them it is worth it - because in the very risk something is born inside of them: the center. It is born only in the risk. That's the beauty of risk, the gift of risk."

1. "The real seeker of truth never seeks truth. On the contrary, he tries to clean himself of all that is untrue, inauthentic, insincere - and when his heart is ready, purified, the guest comes. You cannot find the guest, you cannot go after him. He comes to you; you just have to be prepared. You have to be in a right attitude."

1. "You will find meaning in life only if you create it. It is not lying there somewhere behind the bushes, so you can go and you search a little bit and find it. It is not there like a rock that you will find. It is a poetry to be composed, it is a song to be sung, it is a dance to be danced."

1. "This is what enlightenment is all about - a deep understanding that there is no problem. Then, with no problem to solve, what will you do? Immediately you start living. You will eat, you will sleep, you will love, you will work, you will have a chit-chat, you will sing, you will dance - what else is there to do?"

1. "What is needed is not something in which you can forget your loneliness; what is needed is that you become aware of your aloneness - which is a reality. And it is so beautiful to experience it, to feel it, because it is your freedom from the crowd, from the other. It is your freedom from the fear of being lonely."

1. "There is no evil and there are no evil forces in the world. There are only people of awareness, and there are people who are fast asleep -- and sleep has no force. The whole energy is in the hands of the awakened people. And one awakened person can awaken the whole world. One lighted candle can make millions of candles lighted without losing it's light."

1. "Take hold of your own life. See that the whole existence is celebrating. These trees are not serious, these birds are not serious. The rivers and the oceans are wild, and everywhere there is fun, everywhere there is joy and delight. Watch existence, listen to the existence and become part of it." -
