The modern man is at cross roads today. On the one hand unprecedented advance in science and technology has made life more comfortable and enjoyable. On the other hand greed, competition, jealousy and insecurity are threatening to tear the modern man apart...
This world of MAYA is not a world of MAYA for you; it is very real, and the role of the guru is to show you that it is not real. It is real for you, so how can you think that it is unreal? You can think about unreality only if you have a glimpse of the real; only then can you compare...
The mind is fragmented, so never trust it. One part wants beauty, another wants wealth; you go to fetch one thing and you return with something else; you came on earth to get one thing, but instead you take something very different when you return. Do not trust your mind or you will get nowhere; you will fragment into many pieces like a drop of mercury...
A young man, with a great desire to know the truth renounced his family, his world, and went in search of a master. And as he was leaving the town he saw an old man -- he must have been near about sixty -- sitting under a tree, so silent, so blissful, so attractive, so magnetic...
What is Tantra?
I love this question, as it opens up a whole world of unlimited discovery. Our bodies are the microcosm of the macrocosm. Tantra utilizes methods of meditation to help us explore the universe inherent in our own body, mind and emotional network...
Yes. Yes. Yes. Actually we need about a million Sadgurus. For those of you gentle readers who are not Easterners, a Sadguru is the one who yells outside your bedroom window that flames are sweeping through the house, he’s the one who holds the mirror up for all who don’t remember...
It has been a real blessing and contentment to be in the presence of my beloved master over two decades—and even after he left his body, his presence remains with me as ever, because the true master is nothing but Presence. His leaving the body could not make any difference to me—he continues beating in my heart...
The very question for this article indicates that yes, we ARE in need of a Satguru. Nonetheless, this is a very philosophical question; the inquiry does not come from the inner being, it comes from the mind. Thus as long as we inquire with the mind we definitely are in dire need of a Satguru to help us understand how to let the mind be and dive...
Descartes is famous for his statement, “I think, therefore I am”. For many, such a statement can be seen as an attempt to reduce human existence to a minimum assumption which is quite misleading. In a much more realistic sense this is an attempt to avoiding awareness in a large measure to continuing with uncomfortable unawareness...
The last thing we need is a 'Sad' guru.
We need to have a glass of good wine with someone less fortunate, give some friends out of work some employment, apologize to someone you've hurt and forget about these friggin spiritual questions as if if we all decide "yes we need a Sat guru..." one will descend from the heavens...
I would like all the scientists to listen to the heart. That will change the very character of science. It won't be in the service of death, it won't create more and more destructive weapons. It will be in the service of life. It will create better roses, more fragrant roses; it will create better plants, better animals, better birds, better human beings. OSHO From Death to Deathlessness, Chapter-15
Life is an organic unity. Nothing is divided, everything is one. If you think it is divided, divisions are mind enforced. Otherwise everything intermingles, melts, merges into the other. It is happening all the time. You don't see it because you have become completely blind with words...
monsoon is a seasonal prevailing wind that lasts for several months. The term was first used in English in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and neighboring countries to refer to the big seasonal winds blowing from the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea in the southwest bringing heavy rainfall to the area...

Youth are the harbingers of change, the architects of a new world… They must never despair and always move forward. And, be the change they want to see!
In these times of recession, the words of Osho urge us to be religiously rich so that we can enjoy the best of both worlds- material as well as spiritual...
My vision of the new man is of a rebel, of a man who is in search of his original self, of his original face. A man who is ready to drop all masks, all pretensions, all hypocrisies, and show to the world what he, in reality, is.’ Osho perceives man as becoming increasingly alienated from his inner self, gradually losing his natural innocence and creativity in the mindless quest for worldly power and success...
I am not giving you any achieving, any desiring; there is nowhere to reach and nothing to achieve. If you realize this you have achieved this very moment. This very moment, you are perfect, nothing is to be done, and nothing is to be changed. This very moment, you are absolute Brahma says Osho the Zen Master.
Laugh your way to God. I don't say pray your way to God, I say laugh your way.to God. If you can laugh you will be able to love. If you can laugh you will be able to relax. Laughter relaxes like nothing else. OSHO The Revolution, Chapter-10
