Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible.
Or is it your reputation that’s bothering you? But look at how soon we’re all forgotten. The abyss of endless time that swallows it all. The emptiness of those applauding hands.
— Marcus Aurelius
My whole effort is to make your morality spontaneous. You should be conscious and alert, and respond to every situation with absolute consciousness. Then whatever you do is ‘right’. It is not a question of actions being right or wrong, it is a question of consciousness - whether you are doing it consciously or unconsciously like a robot. Whatever you do with full awareness is always ‘right’, regardless of what your society says.
— Osho
I say to you: You DON’T have a self because you are part of a great self, the whole. You cannot have any separate, private, self of your own.The universe is, I am not. And whatever happens and appears to be in me, as me, is simply universal…
— OSHO
My people have to drop that guilt completely. While making love, think of prayer, meditation, god. While making love, burn incense, chant, sing, dance. Your bedroom should be a temple, a sacred place. And lovemaking should not be a hurried thing. Go deeper into it; savor it as slowly and as gracefully as possible. And… you will be surprised. You have the key.

Anything that becomes perfect stops living because then there is no purpose left. Life is in imperfection; life is in growing.

Love can never be calculated. The child doesn’t ask his mother-“What is your qualification, what do you do? Who are your friends? Tell me, then I’ll love you.” Just like our body is made up of carbohydrates and amino acids, we are made up of this substance called love. Anger, greed, jealousy …are all just distortions of love.
— Ravi Shankar
The person who doesn’t work out is committing slow suicide. He isn’t doing jack-shit to forestall his decrepitude and impending death.

No one can be normal because everyone’s unique.
