“Liberation cannot be desired because desire is the bondage. When you are desireless, you are liberated.”

“No, explanation is not needed — only exclamation, a wondering heart, awakened, surprised, feeling the mystery of life each moment. Then, and only then, you know what truth is. And truth liberates.”

Rajneesh (1931–1990) Godman and leader of the Rajneesh movement

Never Born, Never Died (2002)
Context: Tao mystics never talk about God, reincarnation, heaven, hell. No, they don't talk about these things. These are all creations of human mind: explanations for something which can never be explained, explanations for the mystery. In fact, all explanations are against God because explanation de-mystifies existence. Existence is a mystery, and one should accept it as a mystery and not pretend to have any explanation. No, explanation is not needed — only exclamation, a wondering heart, awakened, surprised, feeling the mystery of life each moment. Then, and only then, you know what truth is. And truth liberates.

“Whenever I meet prostitutes, they never speak of sex. They inquire about the soul, and about God. I also meet many ascetics and monks, and whenever we are alone they ask about nothing but sex.”

Rajneesh (1931–1990) Godman and leader of the Rajneesh movement

From Sex to Superconsciousness
Context: Whenever I meet prostitutes, they never speak of sex. They inquire about the soul, and about God. I also meet many ascetics and monks, and whenever we are alone they ask about nothing but sex. I was surprised to learn that ascetics, who are always preaching against sex, seem to be captivated by it. They are curious about it and disturbed by it; they have this mental complex about it, yet they sermonize about religion and about the animal instincts in man. And sex is so natural.

“It is not decided by votes what is true; otherwise we could never come to any truth, ever.”

Rajneesh (1931–1990) Godman and leader of the Rajneesh movement

Your Answers Questioned (2003)
Context: It is not decided by votes what is true; otherwise we could never come to any truth, ever. People will vote for what is comfortable — and lies are very comfortable because you don't have to do anything about them, you just have to believe. Truth needs great effort, discovery, risk, and it needs you to walk alone on a path that nobody has traveled before.

„Egyszer ez történt: A fiatal atléta épphogy visszatért az Olimpiáról egy ládányi éremmel, amikor megbetegedett. A kórházban az orvos megmérte a lázát, majd elégedetlenül megcsóválta a fejét, és azt mondta:”

Osho (1931–1990) Indiai misztikus tanító

Hm, ön lázas, és már 39,5-nél tart!
Ó, tényleg? – felelte az atléta elgyengülten. Azután hirtelen érdeklődés jelent meg az arcán. – Hé doki, és mondja, a világcsúcs az mennyi?
