• The modern mind is an angry mind - angry because you cannot contact your being, angry because you have lost all meaning, angry because you don't know what significance is.
  • Future historians will write about this age as the age of madness. It is mad - mad because it has lost context. Why are you alive? For what? You shrug your shoulders. How can you remain sane feeling unneeded, feeling like your being and not being makes no difference? If you feel like the whole existence is accidental, then everything is right, then murder is right, because if everything is accidental no actions carry any value and everything is okay to do. But everything is not okay because some things lead to misery and others lead to joy. Right action is only possible when you are in direct contact with totality, with the Divine.
  • Real art means something that helps you be meditative. Remember, to me, creativity means meditativeness, creativity means a state of no-mind -- then the Divine descends in you, then love flows out of you. Then something happens out of your well-being, overflowing well-being. It is a blessing. Otherwise, your ''art'' is vomit. To vomit help you get relief from your sickness, evacuate the negative, it is a therapy, but it shouldn't be thrown on others. You can paint, you can write as therapy, but burn your paintings and burn your poetry.
  • "The ordinary man is living a very abnormal life, because his values are upside down. Money is more important than meditation, logic is more important than love, mind is more important than heart. Power over others is more important than power over one's own being. Mundane things are more important than finding some treasures which death cannot destroy."

“Energy can have two dimensions. One is motivated, going somewhere, a goal somewhere, this moment is only a means and the goal is going to be the dimension of activity, goal oriented--then everything is a means, somehow it has to be done and you have to reach the goal, then you will relax. But for this type of energy the goal never comes because this type of energy goes on changing every present moment into a means for something else, into the future. The goal always remains on the horizon. You go on running, but the distance remains the same.

No, there is another dimension of energy: that dimension is unmotivated celebration. The goal is here, now; the goal is not somewhere else. In fact, you are the goal. In fact there is no other fulfillment than that of this moment--consider the lilies. When you are the goal and when the goal is not in the future, when there is nothing to be achieved, rather you are just celebrating it, then you have already achieved it, it is there. This is relaxation, unmotivated energy.” ― Osho,

“My whole teaching consists of two words, meditation and love. Meditate so that you can feel immense silence, and love so that your life can become a song, a dance, a celebration. You will have to move between the two, and if you can move easily, if you can move without any effort, you have learned the greatest thing in life.” — Osho
