Our whole society is corrupt. It creates sinners with ambition and saints with ambition. And they are interdependent, because both exist on the same axis: the axis of ambition. A person who understands this will drop out of society completely.
Ambition needs future, it needs space to grow. It cannot grow here and now; there is no space. This moment is so small, so atomic. Ambition needs the future; and the greater the ambition, the greater the future that is needed.
Democracy needs a certain context which is missing in India. That's why these years have been just a failure. All the work that has been done since India attained its so-called freedom has not been of any value. In fact, we have more problems than we had before. We have not been able to solve a single problem; we have created thousands of other problems.
As I begin this writing, it’s the last few hours of St. Patrick’s Day. Have just returned home from my wedding tonight, had some dinner and now settling in for the rest of the night. No, I have not gotten married again. Weddings are my business. I create ceremonies that have a message for the couple that is meaningful, spiritual and very heartfelt.

Accept yourself as you are and blossom in to your full potential.

Every day we confront situations that may, one day, become problems. But they are minor situations, seemingly insignificant and taken care of easily. So we pay them no heed. This gives them the space to grow into monstrous proportions. Then, they consume us! For instance, something goes wrong at the workplace and you get irritated. But you overlook it. Day after day...

The Vatican has recently listed seven new sins of the modern times--polluting, genetic engineering, being obscenely rich, drug dealing, abortion, paedophilia and causing social injustice. Spiritualists, moralists and philosophers have often discussed their concepts of sin but have not agreed on its definition.
It is a hot summer day and a group of people interested in meditation have gathered in a secluded retreat in the hills of Rajasthan, India. Few, if any, can imagine they are participating in an event, which will prove to be the first seed of a revolutionary experiment in the flowering of human consciousness – one which will eventually transform the lives of millions of people all over the world.
One moment it was there, another moment it is gone. One moment we are here, and another we have gone. And for this simple moment, how much fuss we make - how much violence, ambition, struggle, conflict, anger and hatred says Osho, the Zen master.
