Satisfaction is a poor man's effort to keep his face smiling, somehow. Contentment is the joy of inner richness… It is the fragrance that naturally comes to those who go beyond mind. Satisfaction is of the mind, contentment is of no-mind. And that's what meditation is all about: a shift of your consciousness from thought to no-thought, from constant chattering to an inner silence.

OSHO: The Imprisoned Splendor #25

Remember more and more that you are the cause of your misery, you can become the cause of your bliss. You are the cause of the hell you are living in, you can create the heaven also. You alone are responsible and nobody else.
Never try to do harm to anybody because all will fall back on you. If you can do something good, do. If you can help somebody, help. If you can have some compassion, love, let it flow, because that will be coming back. In moments of need you will have something to depend upon, to fall upon.
Love as much as you can, help, and don't be bothered whether the help is paying right now or not. It pays, it pays tremendously. You don't be bothered about the time and the place -- it pays. Someday, whenever you are in need, it rushes towards you. It goes on accumulating.

But life is not logical; life is far deeper than logic, and many times life is absolutely illogical. If you try to cling to logic you will miss many things, and those many things are the most precious. You will miss love, you will miss meditation, you will miss joy, you will miss God, you will miss freedom. You will miss all that makes life significant, that gives life beauty, splendor. You will miss the presence of godliness that surrounds you. Logic is a barrier, not a bridge…
Understanding is going to happen but not through the head, it is going to happen through the heart -- not through logic but through love.

Just a little bit of absolute silence and you attain to new heights of consciousness… Just a little experience of your own being, and you have touched the very heart of existence. And you know now life is eternal; death is only a change of form…
And once the experience is there, the clarity comes that: what is mind, what is no-mind, what is consciousness and what is super-consciousness. As you go deeper, finally you come to the cosmic consciousness, in which you are no more in the old way. The dewdrop has lost its boundaries, it has become one with the ocean: an oceanic feeling, that you are one with the whole.

Love is valuable only if it is in tune with freedom, but it can be in tune with freedom only if it is not given by others -- because if it is given by others, it makes you a slave. And not only that: if it is given by others to you, you start clinging to others, you start expecting it, and every expectation brings a thousand and one frustrations.

OSHO: Revolution in Education #09

Don’t blame others that they are cunning. If you allow them to exploit you, they will exploit you. They are not cunning -- you are not cautious; that's the only thing to be remembered. Don't blame them; that is their business, to be cunning or not to be cunning…
Whatsoever they are, they are. In fact, all the cunningness of the world and the trickery of the world helps you to be aware. If this world cannot help you to be aware; then what world will ever be able to make you aware, to be cautious? It is a good world -- it gives you a tremendous challenge to be cautious.

OSHO: Guida Spirituale #05

Begin to be aware,
aware of your actions, thoughts and emotions,
just aware.
Because if you condemn or appreciate
you will not be aware --
in any choice the awareness is contaminated
and the darkness of unawareness comes in,
so just be aware without any choice;
then awareness is pure and innocent,
and then awareness is a mirror.
In this mirror-like awareness one never finds oneself
but one finds THAT-WHICH-IS.
And that is God.

But it is only when you are not
because you are the dust which makes the mirror blind.
Because you are the blindness

OSHO: The Silent Music #20

Man only knows how to complain, he has completely forgotten how to be grateful. To be grateful is the very source of religiousness, the very foundation, and to be complaining is to be anti-religious.
Religion is nothing but the feeling of gratefulness towards existence, and the feeling can arise only if we become aware of what existence is giving to us. We have nothing to give in return, hence we feel in deep gratitude. We are not worthy of it all, we don't deserve it; still those flowers bloom, still the sun rises, still the moon comes, and the stars ... still existence goes on giving, whether we take any note of it or not.
Once you start taking note of it, your life will be transformed. Slowly slowly you will see all negativity disappearing, all darkness disappearing, all death disappearing. Then there is only eternal joy.

OSHO: Don't Let Yourself Be Upset by the Sutra #56

It is not that the mind has to be dropped.
It is not that the mind has to be stopped from functioning. Yes, these things have to be said because you don't know anything about no-mind. Once you have a glimpse of no-mind you will start smiling..."I was fighting with a shadow -- the mind was not there."

OSHO: Live Zen #12

The mind is always either in the past or in the future. It cannot be in the present, it is absolutely impossible for the mind to be in the present. When you are in the present, the mind is there no more because mind means thinking…
But how can mind function in the present? It has no space for the mind to make any movement.
When you are in the present without thinking, you are for the first time spiritual. A new dimension opens -- that dimension is awareness.

The life that we ordinarily live is just keeping ourselves occupied. Between birth and death nothing really happens. People go on keeping themselves occupied, that's another matter, but nothing really happens. Neither love nor truth nor god -- nothing really happens. They hope, they desire, they expect, but those are not the ways for real happenings.
For real happenings some inner work is needed -- and the most important work is meditation.
Meditation is the art of manifesting that which is unmanifest in you, of expressing that which is just a potential.
Meditation is the art of self-actualization.
