Man is born with great treasures, but he is also born with the whole animal heritage.

Drop all fears and move into the world of love. This is the very shrine of God.

The quote is a beautiful directive towards a profound transformation. “Drop all fears” is an invocation. Fears, you see, are the boundaries set by your mind – your history, your society, your insecurities. They keep you confined to a small space. They prevent you…[Read more]

Present is not part of time; it is timelessness. It never comes, never goes – it is always there.

When Osho speaks of the present, he is talking about a dimension that is vastly different from the past and the future. The human mind is accustomed to slicing the continuum of existence into pieces – past, present, future – but this is a mere…[Read more]

You exist as an idea in your mind.

The reality that you perceive through your senses is merely a fragment of what truly is. When Osho says “You exist as an idea in your mind,” it is a beckoning to delve deeper into the understanding of your own consciousness.
