Nirvana QUOTES

1 " Nirvana is a state of unconditional acceptance. Wherever you are, if you can accept your life with totality, with joy, with gratitude, if you can see your life as a gift, then nirvana is never a problem. The problem arises only because you don’t accept your life, you reject life. "

― Osho , Nirvana

2 " Whenever the mind is trying to create a problem, first try to find out whether the mind is playing the old trick again. Because as I see, life is absolutely simple. It has no problems. I don’t mean that life is not a mystery. I mean that life is not a riddle. You cannot solve it. "

― Osho , Nirvana

3 " To be intelligent is totally different from being intellectual. To be intellectual is just trying, pretending, that you are intelligent. It is a false substitute. And once you become intellectual, you will become egoistic. Once you become egoistic, you are closed. "

― Osho , Nirvana

4 " Whenever you cling to a dogma, you are clinging to your mind. Whenever you cling to a doctrine, you are clinging to words. "

― Osho , Nirvana

5 " The whole Zen attitude is to bring to your notice the fact that there is no effort to be made. The Zen attitude is that of effortlessness. That is where it differs from Yoga. Yoga is effort; Zen is effortlessness. "

― Osho , Nirvana

6 " Understanding, more awareness, more witnessing. Watch yourself moving, living, being. Try to understand each moment that passes by you. Become a witness. "

― Osho , Nirvana

7 " Beware of words. Put aside all words so you can be immediately in front of reality. Reality is herenow. "

― Osho , Nirvana

8 " Remember, witnessing does not mean judgment. You are not to judge that this is good and this is bad. The moment you judge, you lose the witness. If you say this is bad, you are already identified. If you say this is good, you have already slipped out of witnessing – you have become a judge. "

― Osho , Nirvana

9 " In your being, there are two possibilities: one is intellect, another is intelligence. Intellect is male, intelligence is female. Intellect is aggressive, intelligence is passive. Intellect is violent, intelligence is nonviolent. Intellect tries to penetrate the reality forcibly – that’s what science is doing. It is a rape on reality; it is ugly. Intelligence simply opens the door and waits for the light to come. It is receptive like a woman. It is like a womb – just receptive, passive. "

― Osho , Nirvana

10 " Intellect is male; intelligence is female. Mind is male; meditation is female, receptive, passive. "

― Osho , Nirvana

11 " If you go on clinging to the intellect you will miss, because reality opens its door only to those who are passive – passive, alert – but absolutely passive, not doing anything. Change the focus from intellect to intelligence. Change the focus from thoughts to feelings. "

― Osho , Nirvana

12 " The last thought in the night is the first thought in the morning. The last thought of this life will be the first thought of another life. The last thought when you are dying this time will become the first seed of your next life. "

― Osho , Nirvana

13 " Truth can be shown, but cannot be said. You can show truth – a buddha is an arrow, showing the truth, but he is not saying it. And whatsoever he says is a falsification. "

― Osho , Nirvana

14 " Language and addiction with language is the root cause. Words and words and words – and your being is hiding behind. The more words gather, the farther away you are from yourself, and the more difficult it becomes to come back home – because there is a forest, a wild forest of words. It is almost like a maze, a chaos. "

― Osho , Nirvana

15 " To understand, only one thing is needed: right listening, nothing else. Please listen to what is being told to you. What I am saying to you, just listen to it. If you can listen to it, in the very listening, seeing will happen; you will have a different vision. In that vision is transformation. "

― Osho , Nirvana

16 " Your happiness has something to do with your quality of consciousness. It has nothing to do with outside things. Unless you become awake, everything is going to make you more and more miserable. Once you are awake, everything brings tremendous happiness, tremendous benediction. It does not depend on anything else; it simply depends on the depth of your being, on your receptivity. "

― Osho , Nirvana

17 " The head is purposive. The heart is non-purposive. "

― Osho , Nirvana

18 " Your ego can only exist if you are tense. If you are relaxed, existence is, you are not. "

― Osho , Nirvana

19 " All reaction is unconscious. If you are conscious you never react. You act. Action is conscious, reaction is unconscious. Reaction means that that man became the master of the situation: he pushed the button and you became angry. You became a puppet in his hands. But if you remain patient, if you smile, suddenly you are out of the vicious circle of unconsciousness. "

― Osho , Nirvana

20 " The mind is almost like a computer: once trained, fed rightly, informed, it goes on functioning on its own. The more efficient you become in your life, the more unconscious you become. "

― Osho , Nirvana
