Osho Quotes on Freedom
-
*"Freedom" means freedom from the mind. Then you are simply in a silence,
and in that silence you melt, you merge with the whole. And to melt and
merge with the whole is to be holy. Not by fasting, not by torturing, but by
becoming one with the whole, one becomes holy.*
-
*Your freedom is a supreme value. Nothing is higher than that. But your
freedom is possible only if you are not encaged in your habits, unconscious
patterns of living. Change your gestalt from unconsciousness to
consciousness.*
-
*Never follow anybody else's idea -- that is very dangerous because you
will become imitative. Always follow your own nature, self-nature; only then
will you attain to freedom. It is better to die following one's nature than
to live following somebody's else's nature, because that will be a pseudo
life. To die following one's nature is beautiful, because that death too
will be authentic.*
-
*When sex becomes conscious it is love, it is no longer lust. Love brings
freedom, and lust simply creates prisons for you.*
-
*Create inner freedom through witnessing. Sannyas is only for the inner
freedom. And live out of inner freedom.*
-
*There is no other revolution except consciousness. It cuts the desires
from the very roots and it brings freedom to you.*
-
*The most fundamental message of Gautama the Buddha is not God, is not
soul... it is freedom: freedom absolute, total, unconditional. He does not
want to give you an ideology, because every ideology creates its own
slavery.*
-
*Desire is our imprisonment. The man who wants nothing, who is absolutely
contented as he is, is free of all bondage. He has attained to ultimate
freedom, nirvana -- and that is the goal of life. And it is only by
attaining that freedom that you will know the significance of being, the
song of being, the celebration of being. Your life will become a continuous
bliss, and not only that YOU will be blissful, you will be able to bless
others too. The whole existence will be blessed by you, by your very
presence.*
-
*Buddha says: Meditation brings two things. It brings wisdom, it brings
freedom. These two flowers grow out of meditation. When you become silent,
utterly silent, beyond the mind, two flowers bloom in you. One is of wisdom:
you know what is and what is not. And the other is of freedom: you know now
there are no more any limitations on you, either of time or of space. You
become liberated. Meditation is the key to liberation, to freedom, to
wisdom.*
-
*Become aware, awake. Then you will see that everything comes and goes,
all things come and pass. Life is a flux. Your consciousness is the only
thing that is immovable, that is eternal. To attain it is freedom. To attain
it is the goal of life. If you miss it you have missed your life and you
have missed a tremendously great gift, a great opportunity.*
-
*All meditations are nothing but efforts to bring you to the present.
When you live in the present moment, with no past hanging around you, with
no future projection, you are free from life and death, you are free from
body and mind. You are free -- simply free -- you are freedom.*
-
*Buddha says the greatest joy in life is freedom: freedom from all
prejudices, freedom from all scriptures, freedom from all concepts and
ideologies, freedom from all desires, freedom from all possessiveness and
jealousy, freedom from all hatred, anger, rage, lust... in short, freedom
from everything, so that you are just a pure consciousness, unbounded,
unlimited. That is the greatest joy, and it is possible -- it is within
everybody's grasp. You just have to grope for it a little. The groping will
be in the dark, but it is not far away. If you try, if you make an effort,
you are bound to find it. It is your birthright.*
-
*Beware of dreams! And watch your dreams day in, day out, because they
are continuously there. You can watch them, and by watching them you will
become unidentified with them, you will become a mirror reflecting them. And
this brings great freedom. Freedom from dreams is freedom from the world.
*
-
*Remember, until you become a buddha you have wasted your life.
Buddhahood is your flowering, your fragrance. A tree is fulfilled when it
blooms, and a man is fulfilled when he releases the fragrance of buddhahood,
when he becomes luminous; then he comes to know who he is. In knowing that,
all is known. In knowing that, God is known. In knowing that, truth is
achieved -- you become the truth, and truth liberates. Truth is freedom.*
-
*The man who is asleep reacts; he knows nothing of action. And reaction
is a binding: it binds you into new prisons, new chains. Response is out of
freedom, hence it brings more freedom. Reaction is out of the past; you act
according to your memories, built-in by your experiences, conditionings. You
react not to the present, not in the present. You don't reflect the real
situation as it is; you go on interpreting it according to your past, your
past experiences. The man who is awake is like a mirror: he reflects that
which is the case. HE IS AWAKE.*
-
*Hell means nothing but misery; it is a psychological state of misery, a
state of negativity, a state of darkness, of utter loneliness. And heaven is
joy, happiness, health, light. But there is a third word, moksha. Moksha
means freedom, freedom from both heaven and hell, freedom from pain and
pleasure -- because pain binds you as much as pleasure binds you. Pain may
be an ugly chain and pleasure may be a beautiful chain, decorated, maybe
made of gold, but it chains you. Hell may be a poor place and heaven may be
a very rich place but poverty and riches are two aspects of the same coin.
One has to be free of both.*
