Quotes

You will come closer and closer to perfection, but you will never be perfect. Perfection is not the way of existence. Growth is the way.

Chasing perfection is recipe for failure. If you want to be successful, chase improvement. We take strength from growth. Remember how cool it feels to earn that promotion? That’s growth. This is why we read Osho quotes on life.

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.

Out of all Osho quotes on life, it’s amazing how beautiful this one is. People often tell themselves that bad things happen to them because they’re unlucky. But the truth is everyone faces darkness at some point in their lives. It’s about what you do with it. You can either grow from it. Or you can self-destruct.

It is beautiful to be alone, it is also beautiful to to be in love, to be with people. And they are complementary, not contradictory.

“Never belong to a crowd; Never belong to a nation; Never belong to a religion; Never belong to a race. Belong to the whole existence. Why limit yourself to small things? When the whole is available.”

Osho On Love:

When your love is not just a desire for the other, when your love is not only a need, when your love is a sharing, when your love is not that of a beggar but an emperor, when your love is not asking for something in return but is ready only to give – to give for the sheer joy of giving – then add meditation to it and the pure fragrance is released. That is compassion; compassion is the highest phenomenon.

Live and love, and love totally and intensely — but never against freedom. Freedom should remain the ultimate value.

Time means mind. When the mind stops, time stops. You may have sometimes felt it. When there is no thought in your mind, is there any time left? The procession of thoughts creates time.
