Osho on Committing Suicide – Sannyas is real suicide

Osho on Committing Suicide – Sannyas is real suicide
Question – Osho, I always think of committing suicide, and wonder what you would say about my death?

Osho – Prashant, I AM REMINDED OF A BEAUTIFUL ANECDOTE:

Osho – Life is purposeless. And it is beautiful

Osho – Life is purposeless. And it is beautiful that it is purposeless
Question: Beloved Osho, If everything is simply happening, then can there be any ultimate purpose to It all, or is life just an accident? Can it be said that life is evolving towards Some ultimate goal?

Osho: It is very difficult, particularly for the Western mind, to understand that life is purposeless. And it is beautiful that it is purposeless.

Then some God has to be conceived who decides the purpose, and then human beings become just puppets; then no freedom is possible. And if there is some purpose then life becomes businesslike, it cannot be ecstatic. Continue reading “Osho – Life is purposeless. And it is beautiful”

Nothing succeeds like success, nothing fails like success

nothing-fails-like-successNothing fails like success

Most of us think that we are miserable because we don’t have everything we ever wanted. Because we are not smart enough, talented enough, successful enough. Because we don’t have enough money, etc.

You think that successful people are happy. Actually, the more successful someone is the less happy they become.

When you are poor and all your efforts are about providing yourself and your family with what you need… you have little thought about the inner emptiness… who cares, as long as you can fill your stomach. Continue reading “Nothing succeeds like success, nothing fails like success”
