"You are giving so much power to power-hungry people; with your own hands, you are telling them to hang you! This is not democracy. In the name of democracy, these people have been exploiting the masses."

"You are giving so much power to power-hungry people; with your own hands, you are telling them to hang you! This is not democracy. In the name of democracy, these people have been exploiting the masses."

“A person who needs to be superior to feel good is a person who is carrying a volcano within him. A person who has to be superior to feel happy is suffering deep down from an inferiority complex. Only an inferior person thinks in terms of superiority. A real person, an authentic person, is neither superior nor inferior. He simply is – unique; nobody is lower than him and nobody is higher than him.”
“So, in the lifetime of each of you, the decisive moment is going to come. Either man commits suicide or seeing that this is an absolute absurdity, man changes his consciousness.

"Essentially we are made of the same stuff called godliness, but on the circumference, godliness comes in every shape and size, in every color, in every form. There is such difference.

Anyone familiar with Osho’s views on what is crippling the contemporary world of humans, and the beliefs they share, will see his early warnings everywhere in this coronavirus pandemic.
The basic myth of the American Dream, and most other dreams too, is “the family” – and in particular, its most recent reincarnation as the nuclear family: Mum, Dad, and the resulting 2.4 kids…. As advertised on TV.
Osho on the family: "It is the basic unit of the old society; unless the family disappears the old society will continue because its basic unit is intact."
