Chandni Samani

If love is without awareness, then it is not love yet. It must be something lower, something closer to lust than to prayer.

Love is a multidimensional phenomenon. When Osho speaks of love and awareness being intertwined, it is to elevate the understanding of love beyond just an emotional or physical response.

To love without awareness is…[Read more]

Rejoicing in your own-aloneness is what meditation is all about.

Meditation is the art of celebrating your existence beyond the confines of the society, it really is, my friend. You see, we have been programmed by society to think that our happiness is a collective proposition – it depends on relationships, on success as defined by others, on t…[Read more]

Aloneness and silence are two aspects of one experience, two sides of the same coin.

Aloneness is not loneliness. Loneliness is a negative state of mind where one feels a lack, a desire for the other. It is a sort of poverty, an emptiness that needs to be filled by someone else’s presence. Aloneness, on the other hand, is the very richness of b…[Read more]

Nobody can humiliate me. Humiliation needs my acceptance.

This quote is a gateway to understanding the nature of subjective experience and the power of consciousness.

When Osho says, “Nobody can humiliate me. Humiliation needs my acceptance,” it is a declaration of the sovereignty of one’s inner space. It is a revelation that any exter…[Read more]

Life is an alchemy of awareness. The statement you’ve just embraced — “Wherever one is full of gratitude, there is a temple” — is a gateway to such alchemy. To be full of gratitude is to resonate with the harmony of existence, to be in tune with the intrinsic beauty that permeates every aspect of reality.

When I use the word ‘temple’, it is not…[Read more]

In your happiness, if there is some truth, some vitality, it will spread, it will help others also to be happy.

This quote reflects the very essence of our interconnectedness. Happiness is not a solitary phenomenon; it exists in a beautiful, dynamic interplay with all that surrounds us.

Now, let us delve deeper. When one speaks of…[Read more]

When joy has a reason, it is not going to last long. When joy is without any reason, it is going to be there forever.

Life is a mysterious dance – the play of existence where reasons become chains and no-reason is the purest freedom. The quote you bring to Osho’s attention is a reflection on the transient versus the eternal, the bondage of t…[Read more]

Patience is not about how long you can wait, but how well you behave while you are waiting.

Patience is indeed a golden key to a serene life. The quote touches on a very significant aspect of patience. It is not merely a passive waiting; it is an active state of being. True patience is characterised by the quality of your inner climate while…[Read more]

In this meditation you can experience prayer as an energy phenomenon, not a devotion to God but a merging, an opening.

Prayer is often misunderstood as an act of speaking to a deity, a plea for intervention or a gesture of worship. But prayer, in its deepest essence, is not about the outward projection towards a God, but rather an inward dive…[Read more]

Life is not somewhere waiting for you, it is happening in – you.

Life is a beautiful phenomenon, not an object somewhere, not a thing. It is a process – dynamic, vibrant, ever-flowing, ever-changing. When Osho says life is not waiting for you, he is pointing towards the misconception many of us hold. We are always waiting – for the moment, for…[Read more]

Don’t judge anyone, just improve yourself…

The essence of this statement lies in the gentle understanding that life in its vastness is not for you to judge. To judge others is to be entangled in the Maya, the illusion of separateness. When you are busy judging, your eyes are clouded, not seeing the divine dance that is happening all around y…[Read more]

Withdraw your energy from the past. Don’t waste your time with memories. What is gone is gone. Say goodbye to it and close the chapter.

The past is but a trail of footprints on the beach of existence, washed away by the waves of the present. The energy that you possess is a flickering flame that can either illuminate the path ahead or be s…[Read more]

Seek the seeker, let the seeker be the sought.

Life is a paradox, a beautiful mystery that keeps unfolding as we move deeper into its realms. When Osho says, “Seek the seeker,” he is pointing towards the essence of our very existence. It is an invitation to turn inwards, to look at the one who is constantly searching for happiness, truth, lov…[Read more]

You are carrying everything that you need just go into the seeker and don’t go seeking outside.

Life is a profound journey with a multitude of paths that a seeker may wander, yet the most pivotal journey is the inward one. “You are carrying everything that you need just go into the seeker and don’t go seeking outside,” reflects a fundame…[Read more]

Happiness has nothing to do with what you have or don’t have. Happiness is related to what you are.

Happiness is not a byproduct of material possession but a state of being – an existential experience, not an economic condition. This world is full of people who have amassed treasures, yet they live in poverty – poverty of joy, of spirit, of l…[Read more]
