"Life is eternal, hence there cannot be any goal. All ideas of goals are contradictory to the idea of eternal life. And if life is eternal, then you have to enjoy each moment as if you have reached the goal. Each moment is a goal in itself." Osho

"Sin is a technique of pseudo-religions. A true religion has no need of the concept at all. The pseudo-religion cannot live without the concept of sin, because sin is the technique of creating guilt in people. You will have to understand the whole strategy of sin and guilt.

"Unless you make a person feel guilty, you cannot enslave him psychologically. It is impossible to imprison him into a certain ideology, a certain belief system. But once you have created guilt in his mind, you have taken all that is courageous in him. You have destroyed all that is adventurous in him. You have repressed all possibility of his ever being an individual in his own right.

"With the idea of guilt, you have almost murdered the human potential in him. He can never be independent. The guilt will force him to be dependent on a messiah, on a religious teaching, on God, on the concept of heaven and hell, and the whole lot.
And to create guilt, all that you need is a very simple thing: start calling mistakes, errors – sins." Osho

"Truth is your innermost nature. Truth has not to be found anywhere else.... You can find it within yourself if you withdraw lies in which you have invested so much. Renounce all that is untrue. Misery is an indication of untruth." Osho

"Now I have brought the Buddha statue, just in front of the Buddha Auditorium. He is waiting there. When you pass by, remember: he was also one day just a human being, as you are. Pay your respects. Pay your gratitude because this man alone introduced the world to a new dimension of beautitude, of truth, of dignity. This man alone declared that man is God, and other than man there is no god. This was the greatest revolutionary statement ever made." Osho

"Tao means to be natural and flowing, to be in a deep let go; not fighting with life, but allowing it, accepting it; not pushing the river, but floating with the river wherever it leads." Osho

Do You Want To Be Successful or Happy?
"For the world, ego gratification is success; for me it is not. For me, to be blissful is success – whether anyone knows about you or not. It is irrelevant whether anyone knows about you or not, whether you live totally unknown, unheard of, unnoticed. But if you are blissful, you have succeeded." Osho

"Man comes into existence with all the doors open, all directions available; all the dimensions are there for him to choose. But before he can choose, before he can be, before he can even feel his being, he is spoiled. And spoiled by those who think they love him: crushed, crippled, conditioned with all good intentions in the world." Osho

"There are great problems. Life is so much of a hell. Misery, poverty and violence are there, all kinds of madness are afloat, that's true.

Should you try to cultivate good habits?

"First, try neutral, then good, then move by and by to bad habits. And, finally, remember that each habit has to be made aware. Once you have become aware of your whole habitual pattern, that habitual pattern is your mind. Any day the shift will happen. Suddenly, you will be in no-mind — when all the habits of your life have become aware..." Osho

Osho: Mind Is a Biocomputer

"It is good that the mind is there. It is beautiful if you can use it. You should use it as one uses a mechanism just as you drive a car. Don't become identified with the car. Be the driver, remain the driver."
