The essence of Yoga - Osho



Osho !! Cool , concise and condensed. This is not a yoga guide but a guide to yoga or meditation. Osho here addresses a series of fundamental queries of the unhappy souls. This book has definitely changed some of my attitude towards Osho and on Life and so I can't help but write down some of his powerful words:

  • Life is a mirror.
  • A person is an infinite mystery.
  • When love dies , duty enters.
  • Judgment is ready made. Discrimination comes from awareness.
  • All comfort is , deep down , womb-like.
  • The more you seek your happiness , the more you will help others to be happy.
  • Misery is destructive , happiness is creative.
  • Anything private is going to be unreal.
  • A master is a catalytic agent.
  • Life is a gossip in the eternity of silence and existence.
  • Myth is nothing but a beautiful gossip , it helps you to live.
  • Man is like an iceberg.
  • The tongue should not be the controller.
  • That which disappears by watching is sin, and that which grows by watching is virtue.
  • A stupid mind always acts out of the past.
  • Mind is accumulated past, its memory and so is stupid.
  • Intelligence is mastery of all the mechanisms within you.
  • Introspection is thinking about yourself. Self-remembering is becoming aware of yourself.
  • God loves those who make others laugh.
  • Cry, weep and laugh - let these be your prayers.
  • Nobody is here to fulfill anybody else's expectations.
  • All rules exist for averages.
  • All great teaching is indirect.
  • Whenever you are in love , you are gaining energy to hate.
  • Be in the middle.
  • In deep love, people breathe together.
  • Narrow is the way. Straight of course.
  • All choice is of the extreme.
  • Balance is totality.
  • People who are self conscious have no self.
  • When ego dies, you will grow.
  • Love is possible only when you have known your depth.
  • Senses by themselves are impotent - unless you cooperate.
  • Man is a bridge between the animal and the divine.
  • Life is a blissful cosmic play.
  • To be is to suffer.
  • The sin is to fight, not to accept.
  • All problems are unreal.
