When your ego is no more, only then will you know who you are.

The ego can be understood as the image you have of yourself that you constantly and protect. It is composed of the many identifications you carry – your name, your body, your possessions, your titles and all the labels society gives you. The ego thrives on separation, it depends on…[Read more]

As long as we are in the bondage of our own mindset and our own thoughts, we are not really free.

The quote deftly captures the core of human consciousness and the obstacles it encounters. Our mindsets and thoughts are shaped by a lifetime of experiences, teachings, and societal norms. These elements craft a lens through which we view the world…[Read more]

If the drop disappears in the ocean… This is what Jesus calls ‘life and more abundant life.’

Life is a vast ocean, boundless and deep. Like a drop, each of us is a small entity with our own limited perception and experiences. When a drop of water falls into the grand ocean, it loses its individual identity, becoming indistinguishable from the…[Read more]

Attachment is the very opposite of love. Love says, ‘I want you to be happy.’ Attachment says, ‘I want you to make me happy.’

Attachment and love are often confused with one another, yet in their essence, they are as distant as the earth is from the sky. Let me unfold the petals of this insight for you.

When you say ‘attachment,’ it is a bin…[Read more]

Surrender is a great understanding that, “I am not.”

The quote is rooted in the recognition of the ego’s limitations and the realisation of a greater existence beyond the self. It is an acknowledgment of the futility of the ego in the grand scheme of existence and the universe.

Awareness is the only KEY….!

The universe in its grand dance is nothing if not witnessed with pure awareness. Awareness is indeed the key – the only key – to unlocking the boundless nature of existence.

When Osho says “Awareness is the only key,” what he invites you to unravel is the profound simplicity within these words. Everything in…[Read more]

Religion is not knowledge. Religion is love.

When Osho says “Religion is not knowledge. Religion is love,” he is speaking of the intrinsic limitation of knowledge itself. You see, knowledge is of the mind, a collection of facts, theories, and understanding that you accumulate over time. It is external; it can be transferred from one person to…[Read more]

Never be a follower, be a path finder.

In the vast expanse of human consciousness, there lies amongst the greatest of illusions the idea of following. In following, one surrenders their individuality, their unique essence to the will and the footsteps of another. This is a comfortable mode of existence since it removes the burden of…[Read more]

Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something.

Love and ego are as different as the light of the moon and the darkness of the night. The quote encapsulates the essence of their contrast in the realm of giving and receiving.

When Osho says, “Love is happy when it is able to give s…[Read more]

Alone means with God.

When one is alone, it is an opportunity to be with existence itself, free from the distractions of society, the opinions of others, and the constant chatter of the mind. Alone means with God because in solitude, you come face to face with the ultimate reality that underlies all things. There is a stillness, a presence that…[Read more]

Nature has its own language but it is silent, unless you are silent you cannot understand it.

In this existence, everything is alive with a subtle conversation – a phenomenal dance of energies that does not resort to sounds or words. The trees, the breeze, the mountains, and the rivers, all speak in the language of silence. This language is not…[Read more]

Courage is a love affair with the unknown.

Courage, as Osho has often spoken of, is not the absence of fear but rather the willingness to engage with it. To have a “love affair with the unknown” is to embrace what is not yet manifest, to enter into a relationship with the future without preconceptions and conditions.

This unknown can be the…[Read more]

Maturity comes through understanding the distinction between that which is possible and that which is not possible.

Maturity is the flowering of your understanding, it marks the evolution of consciousness. To distinguish between that which is possible and that which is not possible is to recognise the limits of one’s own control and the n…[Read more]

Don’t try to understand others, that is not the way. Try to understand yourself, that is the way.

The journey of understanding is indeed a profound inward expedition. In saying, “Don’t try to understand others, that is not the way. Try to understand yourself, that is the way,” Osho is inviting you to an odyssey that begins and ends with the sel…[Read more]
