Osho Quotes On Love :-
“Love is not a relationship. Love is a state of being; it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not ‘in love’; one is love.” — Osho
“Love is a spiritual phenomenon; lust is physical. Ego is psychological; love is spiritual.” — Osho
“You don’t know what love is if you have not loved yourself.” — Osho
“Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.” — Osho
“If you love a person, you accept the total person. With all the defects, all the ugly points, all the shortcomings, all the failures.” — Osho

“Love is the goal, life is the journey.” — Osho
“Love is a spiritual experience – nothing to do with sexes and nothing to do with bodies, but something to do with the innermost being.” — Osho
“Love is happy when it is able to give something. Ego is happy when it is able to take something.”- OSHO
“Love is the opposite of [lust]: respecting the other as an end unto himself or herself. When you love someone as an end unto himself, then there is no feeling of hurt; you become enriched through it. Love makes everybody rich.” — Osho
“Love the person, but give the person total freedom. Love the person, but from the very beginning make it clear that you are not selling your freedom.” — Osho

“Only meditators know what love is.” — Osho
“Love first has to happen in the deepest core of your being. It is the quality of being alone, happily alone, joyously alone. It is the quality of being a no-mind, of being silent. Contentless consciousness is the space, the context, in which love arises in you.” — Osho
“Love needs immense consciousness. Love is a meeting of two souls, and lust is the meeting of two bodies. Lust is animal; love is divine. But unless you know that you are a soul, you cannot understand what love is.” — Osho
“Love is a spiritual experience – nothing to do with sexes and nothing to do with bodies, but something to do with the innermost being.” — Osho
“Love arises out of deep respect and gratitude, seeing your beauty and grandeur, seeing your unconditional love which asks nothing in response, not even love.” — Osho
Osho Quotes On Life :-

“Life repeats itself mindlessly – unless you become mindful, it will go on repeating like a wheel.” — Osho
“I love this world because it is imperfect. It is imperfect, and that’s why it is growing; if it was perfect it would have been dead.” — Osho
“The moment you accept yourself, you become beautiful.” — Osho
“I live my life based on 2 principles. One, I live as if today was my last day on earth. Two, I live today as if I am going to live forever.” — Osho
Osho Quotes On Happiness :-
“Happiness has nothing to do with what you have or don’t have. Happiness is related to what you are. However many things you may collect, perhaps they may increase your worries, your troubles, but happiness will not increase because of them. Certainly unhappiness will increase with them, but they have no relation to an increase in your happiness.” — Osho
“You are being taught everything, but you are not being taught to be yourself. This is the ugliest form of society possible, because it makes everybody miserable.” — Osho
“Happiness has nothing to do with success. Happiness has nothing to do with ambition, happiness has nothing to do with money, power, prestige. It is a totally different dimension. Happiness has something to do with your consciousness, not with your character.” — Osho
“Happiness is always with you. It has nothing to do with the weather, it has nothing to do with chopping wood, it has nothing to do with digging a hole in the garden. Happiness has nothing to do with anything. It is just the non expectant, relaxed, at-ease state of your being with existence. And it is there; it does not come and go. It is always there, just like your breathing, your heartbeat, the blood circulating in your body.” — Osho
“If you are in pursuit of happiness one thing is certain: You are not going to get it. Happiness is always a by-product. It is not the result of a direct pursuit.”— Osho
“Unlearn all that you have learned up to now. Forget your past, disconnect yourself, don’t look back. Look in the moment, in the present, and be in a totally relaxed state, available.”— Osho
“Come out of the future! It is your dream. You are not supposed to go anywhere. Be happy wherever you are.”— Osho
“If you start listening to the body, listening to the nature, listening to your inner being, you will be more and more happy.”— Osho
“Learn to be in the present. Withdraw your energy from the past. Don’t waste your time in memories; what is gone is gone — say goodbye to it and close the chapter.” — Osho
“Happiness needs no cause. It is your simple nature, you are intrinsically happy. No cause, no purpose, no goal is needed. Life is in itself enough. It needs nothing else to complete it. It is complete! It is entire! It is already what it has to be. So there is no purpose in existence and no goal in existence. Existence is a sheer dance.”— Osho
