Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, better known as "Osho", was an Indian spiritual leader who claimed to have found enlightenment. With his "dynamic meditation" he attracted thousands of followers to whom he imparted his teachings..
His teachings and philosophy were controversial, so he was in conflict with the Indian authorities. Then he moved to Oregon (United States), where he built a commune with his followers. However, all was not well; in 1985 he was arrested for problems with the law due to his immigration and deported to India, where he died in 1990.
Then I leave you the best osho phrases about life, death, friendship, fear, spirituality, friendship and love. They will help you to be more spiritual, less materialistic and to receive the ideas that made this mystic so popular.

About love
Don't try to understand life. Live the. Don't try to understand love. Move towards him.
You don't have to think so much, you have to do more.
Love is the goal, life is the journey.
Through the experiences acquired in life we are learning to love fully and healthily.
Little by little love becomes a state of your being. You are not in love, you are love.
Love is the most important thing in life. We all must learn to love.
Immature people who fall in love destroy the freedom of the other. Mature people in love help the other to be free.
Love is not about owning or dominating, it is about accompanying and enjoying the happiness of the other person.
My love has never depended on the other person. My love is a state of my being. I just love.
You love when you are ready to love.
Love is not a relationship. It is a state of being. It has nothing to do with anyone else.

The ego must be put aside when it comes to loving.
Only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of loving, sharing, going to the deepest center of another person..

In love you have to give yourself everything for everything.
Growth is only possible if there is imperfection. I am imperfect, the entire universe is imperfect, and loving this imperfection, rejoicing in it, is my whole message..

Mature people have the integrity that allows them to be alone. When a mature person loves, he or she does it without strings attached..
The person who feels good about himself, who accepts himself as he is, has the ability to love deeply.

People who are able to love freely enjoy both time shared with their partner and the time they spend alone.
Dominating is a way of hating. How can you think of dominating someone you love? If you love someone, then you want him to be free, independent, you will give him space for himself.
Love is not about dominance, but about sharing and being happy through the happiness of the other.
About happiness
Happiness is a shadow of harmony; pursue harmony. There is no other way to be happy.
People who lead a balanced life are the happiest.
That is the simple secret of happiness. Whatever you do, don't let the past get in the way, don't let the future bother you.
You always have to live in the present.
Happiness is like a tree that goes to the sky, sadness is like roots that go to the belly of the earth.
Happiness elevates the soul, sadness depresses it.
Look at the trees, the birds, the clouds, the stars and if you have eyes you will be able to see that all existence is joy..
You have to know how to appreciate all the things around us.
Instead of jumping from one superficial happiness to another and wasting your life, it is better to use sadness as a method of meditation..
The superficiality of things will only bring us momentary satisfaction.
Find ecstasy in yourself. It is nowhere else. Blooms inside of you.
To be happy, we must first learn to love ourselves as we are.
About zen and freedom
Zen includes everything. He never denies, he never says no to anything; accept everything and transform it into a higher reality.
There is no bad thing, you learn everything.
Zen is the only religion in the world that teaches sudden enlightenment. He says that enlightenment doesn't take time; it can happen in a moment.
Osho's description of Zen.
Zen is a way of unlearning. It teaches you how to throw away what you have learned, how to become unskilled again, how to be a child again, how to start existing without mind again, how to be here without any mind..
Zen tries to eliminate all the preconceptions created by society, to see the world from a different place.
This is the approach of Zen: nothing has to be done. There's nothing to do. One just has to be. Take a break, be normal and be natural.
You always have to try to do what you really want to do.
About God and religion
When I say that you are gods and goddesses, I mean that your possibilities are infinite, your potentiality is infinite.
People are capable of doing anything if we set our mind to it.
God is a synergistic experience. Science can never reveal it, philosophy can never come to it. Only a poetic approach, very passive, a very loving approach, can.
God should not be sought, you have to feel him.
Be normal, but bring awareness to your normal life. Bring God into your normal life, introduce Him.
A very religious person has no theology. Yes, he has the experience, he has the truth, he has the luminosity, but he has no theology.
Osho was not part of any of the classical religions.
About freedom
When the mind is not tied to any ideology, it is free to move to new understandings. And in that freedom all the good and all the beautiful flourish.
People are capable of change, and that is what makes them evolve.
About death
To avoid pain, avoid pleasure. To avoid death, avoid life.
It is impossible to avoid bad things that happen to us because they are also part of life.
Whenever you are afraid, try to explore, and you will find that death was hiding somewhere. Death is the only source of fear.
The greatest fear of people, the only one capable of paralyzing them, is the fear of dying.
You are an immortal living in a body of death. Your consciousness knows neither death nor birth. Only your body can be born and die.
What we are transcends our mortal form.
About the woman
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother never. A mother is something absolutely new.
No one can prepare to be a mother or father, this is only learned with the arrival of a child.
Other thoughts
Love and respect yourself and never commit to anything. And then you will be surprised how much you start to grow, as if the rocks had been pushed aside and the river started to flow.
Certain commitments made hold us back in our evolution. To evolve it is necessary to let go.
No ideology can help create a new world or a new mind or a new human being, because the ideological orientation is itself the root cause of all conflicts and miseries..
The evolution of people cannot be guided by institutions.
Doubting is not a sin, it is a sign of intelligence. You are not responsible for a nation, for any church, for any God. You are only responsible for one thing; self-knowledge.
We must never accept everything they tell us, no matter who says it.
Being creative means being in love with life. You can only be creative if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring to it a little more music, a little more poetry, a little more dancing..
Creativity is born from love.
Look at your life. See that existence is celebrating. These trees are not serious. These birds are not serious. Rivers and oceans are wild, and there is fun in every place. Look at existence, listen to existence and be part of it.
We must try to live in harmony with what surrounds us.
The truth will not be found on the outside. No teacher, no scripture can give you the truth. It is within you and, if you want to achieve it, find yourself. Is with yourself.
Self-knowledge is the most important search that a person must do.
