“Love is the greatest gift of God.
But it is a raw phenomenon.
It has to be polished, refined, cut.

“In the East, we have developed a science: if you cannot find a soul mate, you can create one. And that science is Tantra. To find a soul mate means to find the person with whom all your seven centers meet naturally. That is impossible.
“When God descends on earth ….His name is love…
Love is an alchemical phenomenon.
Even if one heart has flowed towards you,
God has reached through that heart.
Osho Speaks on Life
“Life in itself is not meaningful. It is meaningful only if you can sing a song of the eternal, if you can release some fragrance of the divine, of the godly, if you can become a lotus flower-deathless, timeless.
“For the new humanity, millions of changes are going to happen. One of the most major changes will be that the positive person has to become articulate. He has to say to the world what he is experiencing, without any fear, without any embarrassment,…
If you eat, eat with love; because what you eat is God. If you walk, walk with love; because you are walking on earth, sacred ground. If you bathe, do it with deep devotion, with love and respect for your body, since this is not your body, it is the body of God; it is His temple.
“Love should have a preface of beautiful music, of dancing together, of meditating together. And love should not be a mind thing – that you are continuously thinking of how to make love and then go to sleep. Love should be a deeper involvement of your whole being, and it should not be projected by the mind, but should come out spontaneously.
Question: How to avoid an epidemic?
Osho answers: “You are asking the wrong question. The question should have been like this: “Say something about the fear of dying in my heart because of the epidemic?”
How to save yourself from this fear?
This is one of my favourite meditations which I learned by listening to this discourse by Osho. I highly recommend doing it as a 21 day practice. Discover complete transformation through this simple method! The magic of this practice happens by being total. If you choose happiness, then really take responsibility and be totally happy the whole day. If you choose misery for that day, really wallow in suffering and misery for the whole day. Through realising you have a choice, you are liberated and simultaneously, empowered.
On 21st March, 1953, Osho became enlightened under a molshree tree in Jabalpur. He describes his enlightenment in a powerful discourse, offering us a glimpse into the inner workings of how consciousness expansion happens. His discourse offers so many insights that anyone who is interested in enlightenment will be benefitted by reading this discourse.
“If the younger generation moves deeper and deeper in love, wars will disappear because you will not be able to find enough mad people to go to war… Fear kills, wants to kill. Fear is destructive; love is a creative energy… The world will drop wars only when love enters into the world again.”
“The real thing is not a relationship but a state; one is not in love but one is love. Whenever I talk about love remember this: I am talking about the state of love. Yes, relationship is perfectly good, but the relationship is going to be false if you have not attained to the state of love.
“If you meditate long enough, deep enough, it is impossible for you to hurt anybody for food; it is impossible. It is not a question of argument, it is not a question of scriptures, it is not who says what, it is not a question of calculating that if you take vegetarian food you will become spiritual; it is automatic.
A sannyasin asks Osho about her relationship and being attracted to other men.
Osho responds:
The problem is natural and everybody has to face it. If you want relationship… and to want relationship means security, safety, intimacy, love. And only in a very, very intimate relationship can love grow – love needs time, patience. If you want all these things then you have to sacrifice your momentary desires – that somebody looks attractive and you are sexually attracted.
“The youth of the whole world is ready to change all old structures and make every change that helps humanity to become free.
Freedom is such a spiritual necessity that without it man never attains his manhood. Liberation from dead superstitions, ideologies, dogmas is such a great necessity that once you are free of it you will feel as if you have got wings and you can fly into the sky.

“One single seed can make the whole earth green. A single Buddha can make the whole world afire with a new consciousness and a new humanity.
“Love means the art of being with others. Meditation means the art of being with yourself.
They are two aspects of the same coin. A person who does not know how to be with himself cannot truly relate with others.
“I am ready to work on anybody because my approach is;
whether you grow in this life or not is not the point.
Even if you have tried a little bit, that much will become part of you – in some other life maybe; with some other Master, it may come to a fulfilment.
“This unconsciousness can be broken only if the people whose life has become meditation, whose life has become a pure love, whose life has become a compassion, start waking up other sleeping people:
