“Why is wisdom so fair? Why is beauty so wise?

Because all else is temporary, while beauty and wisdom are the only real and constant aspects of truth that can be perceived by human means.

And I don't mean the kind of surface beauty that fades with age, or the sort of shallow wisdom that gets lost in platitudes.

True beauty grips your gut and squeezes your lungs, and makes you see with utmost clarity exactly what is before you.

True wisdom then steps in, to interpret, illuminate, and form a life-altering insight.”

Temporarily separated

“The young should not think of themselves as immature and the elderly need not view themselves as feeble. Our minds control our bodies. Have no age, transcend both past and future, and enter into naka-ima—the “eternal present.”

“Who comes? Who goes? All is as it is. Coming and going is also a dream.

For example, in the night you fall asleep, a dream arises. In the morning the dream disappears. Do you think you had gone somewhere and you have come back? You find yourself in the same room, on the same bed, and all that dreaming! You may have travelled to faraway places - you may have visited the moon, the planets, the stars - but m the morning when you wake up you don't wake up on a star. You wake up in the same place where you had slept.

Life is a dream! We are where we are. We are that which we are. Not for a single moment have we moved, and not a single inch have we moved from our true nature! This is the ultimate statement of truth.

Waves arise in the ocean and then disappear in the ocean. When the wave arises in the ocean it is still the ocean, as much as it was before it had risen. And then it disappears back into the ocean.

Forms arise and disappear, the reality remains as it is. All changes are only appearances. Deep, at the deepest core, nothing ever changes; there it is all the same. Time is a peripheral phenomenon.

At the center there is no time, no change, no movement. All is eternal there.”
― Osho, The secret of secrets

“Only what is ephemeral holds value. Everything eternal is worthless.”
― Giannis Delimitsos

“A soul shattered is a heart broken for eternal life.”
― Dina Husseini

“In existence you cannot make clear-cut divisions, everything melts into each other. It is oneness expressing in millions of ways: as a man, as a rose, as a fish... it is the same life. And this is the mystery of life - that it can become a rose, and it can become a fish, and it can become a man, and it can become a buddha.

This possibility of eternal manifestations, of infinite manifestations, makes life a joy, a song, a life worth living. If everything is explained, life will become very finite, very small, not worth living. It is the mysteriousness - you may be aware of it or not, but if you are aware, you can rejoice in it more clearly. It is the mysteriousness of life, it is its unknowability, its unpredictability, that makes it so juicy.”
― Osho

“Life is eternal. Life is immortal. It changes forms, certainly, just like the waves in the ocean go on changing but the ocean remains. Bodies come and go, minds come and go, but your innermost witness remains always there. And that witness is God.”
― Osho, The Guest: Talks on Kabir: Fifteen Spontaneous Talks

“Death exists not; it is one of the most illusory things. Death is the shadow of another lie -- the name of that other lie is the ego. Death is the shadow of the ego. Because the ego is, death appears to be there.

The secret of knowing death, of understanding death, is not in death itself. You will have to go deeper into the existence of the ego. You will have to look, watch, observe, be aware of what this ego is. And the day you have found that there is no ego, that there has never been -- it appeared only because you were not aware, it appeared only because you were keeping your own existence in darkness -- the day it is understood that the ego is a creation of an unconscious mind, the ego disappears and simultaneously death disappears.

The real you is eternal. Life is neither born nor dies. The ocean continues, waves come and go -- but what are waves? Just forms, the wind playing with the ocean. Waves have no substantial existence. So are we, waves, playthings.

But if we look deep down into the wave there is an ocean, and the eternal depth of it and the unfathomable mystery of it. Look deep down into your own being and you will find the ocean. And that ocean is; the ocean always is. You cannot say, 'It was,' you cannot say, 'It will be.' You can only use one tense for it, the present tense: it is.

This is the whole search of religion. The search is to find that which truly is. We have accepted things which really are not, and the greatest and the most central of them is the ego. And of course it casts a big shadow -- that shadow is death.

To know life is to know there is no death, there never has been. Nobody has ever died, I declare, and nobody is ever going to die. Death is impossible in the very nature of things -- only life is.”
― Osho, The Book of Wisdom

“..seriousness has been misunderstood as sincerity. Seriousness is a sickness. A serious seeker is searching for truth with sadness, with a burden on his head. He is not interested in the pilgrimage.

Life is eternal, hence there cannot be any goal. All ideas of goals are contradictory to the idea of eternal life. And if life is eternal, then you have to enjoy each moment as if you have reached the goal. Each moment is a goal in itself. Don't wait to rejoice when you have reached the goal. That kind of goal does not exist. Use every moment as if you have arrived. It is always as if you have arrived. You are always arriving.

And I don't think existence wants you to be serious. I have not seen a serious tree. I have not seen a serious bird. I have not seen a serious sunrise. I have not seen a serious starry night. It seems they are all laughing in their own ways, dancing in their own ways. We may not understand it, but there is a subtle feeling that the whole existence is a celebration. I teach you celebration. And laughter has certainly to be one of the major ingredients in this celebration.”
― Osho

“Sanatan means eternal, timeless, deathless.

These are our real qualities. We are never born and we never die. The body is
only a shelter, we are not it. It is only like a garment which one has to change
when it is too old. And we have changed the garment so many times. We differ
from other people only if the form and the shape and the color and the size of the
garment. The innermost reality is the same.

To find it, to find that which is never born and never dies, is the real goal of all
religious enquiry. One can call it god, liberation, nirvana, enlightenment. They
are different names for the same phenomenon. And it is not to be searched for
somewhere else, it is within you. It is you, so you have to dive deep into your
own nature.

Sannyas is a pilgrimage from the periphery to the center, from your own surface
to your depth.”
― Osho

“Books, fruits, and flowers....they give you the delicious poetry in a cup, the wine that keeps you eternally drunken...”
― Jayita Bhattacharjee

“To be sincere is one thing, to be serious is another. A man who loves life is sincere, authentic, but never serious.

Remember, an authentic religious person is not fear-oriented, he is love-oriented. A really authentic religious person becomes religious to enjoy life more, to enjoy it deeply and totally.

A real religious man looks at life as a game: it is not business, it is a game. Hindus call it LEELA, a play; not even a game but a play.

There is a difference between a game and play. Children play, but you even make a game out of play. Then it becomes business-like, then even in playing you are seeking victory, success, gain, profit.

Life is a play. There is nothing to be achieved out of it, it itself is the goal; there is nowhere to reach, it itself is the Ultimate.
It is just like children playing, you cannot ask them: For what are you playing? What is the purpose? They will say: We are simply playing. It is so beautiful! Profit is not their concern, and profit should also not be your concern, but play.

Life is a moment to celebrate, to enjoy. Make it fun, a celebration, and then you will enter the temple.

...if you have lived, lived a life of celebrations, then you can die celebrating - it is fun. When you know that you are not going to die, that something in you is eternal, then the whole of life becomes fun. It is a great cosmic joke and you can play with it.”
― Osho, Returning to the Source: Talks on Zen

“God is like the sky, like the empty sky.

It has no boundaries so it cannot be defined. You cannot say where it begins and where it ends. It is eternal, it is infinite -- yet it is right in this place, just in front of you. If you are relaxed it is there; if you become tense it disappears.

Life cannot be possessed because life is God. Existence cannot be possessed because existence is God.

YOU CANNOT TAKE HOLD OF IT.

-- remember --

BUT YOU CANNOT LOSE IT.

Yes, you cannot possess it, but there is no way to lose it either. It is there. It is always there.

You have to drop your rush, your hurry, your ideas to go somewhere, to reach, to become, to be this and that. You have to stop becoming. And it is there; you cannot lose it.

There is no competition, there is nobody blocking your way, there are no competitors.

You need not be in a hurry. You need not make any effort to grab. There is nobody competing with you and there is nobody standing in front of you -- only God, only God.

You can relax. You need not be afraid that you will miss it. You cannot miss it in the very nature of things. You cannot lose him. You relax.

There is no hurry because God is not something in time -- relax. There is nowhere to go because God is not distant in some star -- relax. You cannot miss in the very nature of things -- relax.

relax. Don't seek, don't search, don't ask, don't knock, don't demand -- relax. If you relax, it comes. If you relax, it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it.

God is so big, so huge, so enormous. It is the totality of existence -- who can exhaust it?

There is no struggle, no competition. And there is eternal time available. Don't be in a hurry and don't be serious.”
― Osho, Zen: The Path of Paradox

“Nothing remains till the end of time. Take delight in what you have while you have it, for all, it is.. a moment's delight yet to find the eternal in the joy slipping away...”
― Jayita Bhattacharjee

“I am confident that God does exactly what He says He does. But I am also sorely aware of the fact that the limitations of my humanity struggle in their ability to embrace the limitlessness of the things He does. Therefore, I am forever thankful that my limits never define His, but that His will never cease to expand mine.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Life, one ultimately learns, is nothing but an eternal cycle of birth, living and death. Nature is in a perpetual dance of impermanence."

“The eyes of this dead lady speak to me,
For here was love, was not to be drowned out.
And here desire, not to be kissed away.
The eyes of this dead lady speak to me.”

“If you simply see the wave, it is impermanent.
If you look deep into it and you can find the ocean, it is eternal.

The eternal is not permanent, the eternal is beyond time.

'Permanent' means staying longer in time; but what does it matter whether you are a sannyasin for one day or one year or one thousands years - what does it matter? The impermanent is impermanent - one day, one year, one thousand years.

Seek something which is beyond time. Then once it is there you know: it has always been there, and it will be always there. The eternal is your innermost nature, SWABHAVA. It is your innermost being.”
― Osho

“Man is not an isolated island, but we live with the false notion of being an island. We are part of the whole. We are not apart from the whole. We belong to the continent, and the continent is infinite.
The ego is an island,. but your being is not an island. To follow the dictates of the ego is to make a mess of your life, because it takes
you away from the unity of existence.
It is trying to create a separate entity, it is trying to be separate from the unity of existence. This is doomed to fail from the beginning, because it is not in accord with the law of existence. How can the three be separate from the earth? How can the leaf be separate from the tree?
The moment the tree is separate from the earth it is dead. Life is being with the tree. Life is part of the tree.
The larger your ego is, the more it suffocates our being, our life source. The moment you drop the ego, you are free. You are free
from all imprisonments. Then the whole universe belongs to you.
Then all the stars, rivers and mountains are part of you. To be in this unity is to be in joy.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart
