Quotable – Quotes
I do not believe in believing. My approach is to know, and knowing is a totally different dimension. It starts from doubt; it does not start from believing. The moment you believe
in something, you have stopped inquiring. Belief is one of the most poisonous things to destroy human intelligence. All the religions are based on belief; only science is based on doubt. And I would like the religious inquiry also to be scientific, based on doubt, so that we need not believe but we can come to know the truth of our being, and the truth of the whole universe.
Osho: The Book of Understanding
‘Osho is an enlightened master who is working with all possibilities to help humanity overcome a difficult phase in developing consciousness.’
Dalai Lama at Bodh Gaya in India
Osho is not trying to purvey information but a truth that bypasses conscious thought and all that belongs to it, just as the most important activities of human beings bypass the mind.”

“It is a religion for the irreligious, for the agnostic, for the unbeliever, for the rationalist.”
Khushwant Singh, former editor of The Times of India; author and historian
This new religion shall spread the world over. It teaches a new acceptance of life – A kind of magic used as a launch pad to an experience of the divine. This suggests a concept of complete surrender of belief.

“When we wrote and prepared for shooting Vanilla Sky, I constantly checked in with Osho’s insights. It is not so easy to present the unconscious mind with images and a story. Osho is the only one who can perfectly explain it all, the inner and the outer and that helped me and my team immensely”
Tom Cruise, actor
“Through my friend Deepak Chopra I came across Osho’s books which gave me another deeper shift in my life. I regret I did not met him in person, and I feel sorry the US Government missed such an opportunity back in 86.”
