Osho Rajneesh

The condition of a follower is such that he can only remain in the dark shadow of the lamp and look out from there. From there he cannot see the light; only the bottom of the lamp is seen. The bottoms of all lamps are different, and there is deep darkness under them. Their followers stand quarreling over the bottoms. Therefore, whenever I see someone standing in someone’s shadow, I speak against this rather harshly.

The masters only point the way. But if you meditate And follow the dharma You will free yourself from desire. 'Everything arises and passes away.' When you see this, you are above sorrow. This is the shining way.

You see, as long as a man is under maya's spell, he is like a green coconut. When you scoop out the soft kernel from a green coconut, you cannot help scraping a little of the shell at the same time. But in the case of a ripe and dry coconut, the shell and kernel are separated from each other. When you shake the fruit you can feel the kernel rattling inside. The man who is freed from maya is like a ripe and dry coconut. He feels the soul to be separated from the body. They are no longer connected with each other

When everything around me is moving so fast, I stop and ask, “Is it the world that’s busy, or is it my mind?”

Seeking Why run around sprinkling holy water?
There's an ocean inside you, and when you're ready you'll drink.

Be less of a judge and you will be surprised that when you become a witness and you don't judge yourself, you stop judging others too. And that makes you more human, more compassionate, more understanding.

The past has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that. What is grievance? The baggage of old thought and emotion.

The body is made of food, as the mind is made of thoughts. See them as they are. Non-identification, when natural and spontaneous, is liberation.

Before anything happens materially, it already happened energetically in the inner world. The outer world is a reflection of the inner world. That’s called manifestation.

You need to know why you have a problem, so you don’t keep repeating it.
According to Lao Tzu-
Watch you’re your thoughts they become words, watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become your character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

- Lao Tzu

Krishna to Arjuna:

I alone am real, Arjuna, looking out, amused from deep within the eyes of every creature. I am the object of all knowledge, father and mother of the world, the source of all things. I am the goal, the root, the witness, home and refuge, dearest friend, creation and annihilation, everlasting seed and treasure.

I am the radiance of the sun, I open or withhold the rainclouds, I am immortality and death, am being and non-being.

I am the Self, Arjuna, seated in the heart of every creature. I am the origin, the middle, and the end that all must come to.

I am always with all beings; I abandon no one. And however great your inner darkness, you are never separate from me. Let your thoughts flow past you, calmly; keep me near, at every moment; trust me with your life, because I am you, more than you yourself are.

— Bhagavad Gita

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."

Explanation: This quote by Lao Tzu is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of love. Lao Tzu suggests that receiving love from someone gives us a sense of inner strength, as it empowers us and makes us feel valued and supported. On the other hand, loving someone deeply requires courage, as it entails vulnerability and the willingness to open our hearts to another person. Lao Tzu's words convey the idea that love is not merely a passive emotion but an active force that can inspire and empower us to overcome challenges and grow as individuals.

"Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step."

This quote by Lao Tzu emphasizes the importance of taking action and making progress in life. Lao Tzu encourages us to tackle difficult tasks when they appear easier to manage and to accomplish great things when they are still in their early stages. By doing so, we can avoid procrastination and overcome obstacles with relative ease. Furthermore, Lao Tzu uses the metaphor of a journey of a thousand miles starting with a single step to highlight the significance of taking that first small step towards our goals. It reminds us that every grand endeavor begins with a small act, and it is important not to underestimate the power of beginning and taking that first step forward.

Book name: "The Way of Harmony"

Quote: "By embracing the stillness within, we discover the boundless power that flows through the universe."

Explanation: In "The Way of Harmony," Lao Tzu reminds us that true strength lies not in force or aggression, but in finding inner peace and aligning ourselves with the natural rhythms of life. The quote emphasizes the importance of stillness and introspection as a means to tap into the limitless energy and wisdom that permeates the world. By cultivating a state of calm and tranquility within ourselves, we become receptive to the seamless flow of existence, enabling us to navigate life with grace and harmony.

Book Name: "The Art of Living"
Quote: "Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power."

Explanation:
In "The Art of Living," Lao Tzu emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and self-mastery. This quote highlights the distinction between intelligence and wisdom, as well as the difference between strength and true power. Lao Tzu suggests that while understanding and influencing others can be valuable, it is essential to first cultivate self-knowledge and self-mastery. True wisdom lies in understanding oneself and harnessing inner strength, which ultimately leads to a deeper sense of power and fulfillment.

Book Name: "Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously"

Quote: "The greatest fear in the world is of the opinions of others. And the moment you are unafraid of the crowd you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom."

Explanation: In this quote from the book "Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously", Osho highlights the immense power and freedom that comes from breaking free from the fear of others' opinions. He suggests that living in constant fear of judgment and conformity makes one akin to a sheep, but when one confronts and overcomes this fear, they transform into a lion, ready to embrace their individuality and authenticity. By letting go of the fear of judgment, one can experience a profound sense of liberation and true inner courage.

Book: "Freedom from the Known"
Quote: "It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

Explanation: In the book "Freedom from the Known," Jiddu Krishnamurti challenges conventional societal norms and highlights the dangers of conforming to a society that he perceives as deeply flawed and dysfunctional. According to the quote, merely fitting in and adapting to a sick society cannot be equated with true well-being or mental health. Krishnamurti encourages individuals to critically examine societal values and belief systems, urging them to cultivate a sense of inner freedom and independence rather than seeking validation from a society he views as corrupted.
