"Don’t be in a hurry, because what happens is that the mind has light moments and dark moments, day moments and night moments. When it is a day moment everything feels very good; you can see everything clearly.
"When night comes everything becomes dark and you cannot see anything clearly.
"Just think: we are sitting here, it is light, you can see me and you can see everybody here, you can see the trees – and then suddenly the electricity goes off. Now you cannot see anybody here; the trees and everything are gone. Will you say that now the trees no more exist and the people no longer exist?…" |

| Breathing in Love
|

“Love is always new. It never becomes old because it is non-accumulative, non-hoarding. |
|
|
| |
"It knows no past; it is always fresh, as fresh as the dewdrops. It lives moment to moment, it is atomic. It has no continuity, it knows no tradition. Each moment it dies and each moment it is born again. It is like breath: you breathe in, you breathe out; again you breathe in and you breathe out. You don’t hoard it inside.
"If you hoard the breath you will die because it will become stale, it will become dead. It will lose that vitality, the quality of life. So is the case with love – it is breathing; each moment it renews itself. So whenever one gets stuck in love and stops breathing, life loses all significance.…" |

child until I was ten years old. I was born into Christianity, but my mother's second partnerwas a Muslim so I got converted into Islam too. Both these conditionings gave me a lot of guilt and fear about God and about going to hell. I was taught many moral values like charity, social service, and celibacy until marriage, which may sound like good things, but I found them limiting and repressive.
Maybe because of this background, when I came across Osho for the first time through one of the books in my mother’s library, it was a liberating experience. Something pulled me specifically towards one book in particular, Fear: Understanding and Accepting the Insecurities of Life. I was instantaneously captivated. |

| “Confusion is a great opportunity. The problem with people who are not confused is |

great – they think they know, and they know not. The people who believe that they have clarity are really in great trouble; their clarity is very superficial. In fact they know nothing of clarity; what they call clarity is just stupidity.
"Idiots are very. very clear – clear in the sense that they do not have the intelligence to feel confusion.
"To feel confusion needs great intelligence.
"Only the intelligent ones feel confusion; otherwise the mediocre go on moving in life, smiling, laughing, and accumulating money, struggling for more power and fame. If you see them you will feel a little jealous; they look so confident, they even look happy.…" |

healthy, only sick people become interested in health. The moment that you have become healthy...coming out of your sickness, you will feel health but when it becomes your natural experience of every day, every moment, you don’t have any contrast of sickness to compare it with.
“You don’t know your head unless you have a headache – have you observed it? Do you become aware of your head? You become aware of your head only when you have a headache. A headache gives you the idea – people who have not experienced headaches, don’t know what it is to have a healthy head without any headaches.…" |
