Somebody asked Osho, “what happens in and with the relationship between two partners if their egos drop?”
Osho replied, “Then relationship happens. Before that it is just an empty name. Relationship cannot happen before the egos are gone...

Love is not a relationship. Love relates, but it is not a relationship. A relationship is something finished. A relationship is a noun; the full stop has come, the honeymoon is over. Now there is no joy, no enthusiasm, now all is finished...

Most people look for a loving relationship in wrong places. Essentially though, all relationships are based on energy – the human, loving, caring energy. Relationships based on such positive energy show a state of consciousness which reflects intimacy in various aspects of togetherness such as: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual...

I connect the term relationship to a sound. The sound of a heavy anchor on metal chains descending into deep sea with no possibility to move. If we love another then the term should rather be ‘relating’, which is alive and constantly has to adjust itself to new information, data, feelings, situations...

There are relationships, and there are relationships.
What I’m going for here is the relationship, the evolved relationship I guess you could say, of two people who are determinedly discovering who they are and sharing that together in great delight. Relationships are here to help us uncover what love really is...

I dropped out in 68 and traveled around Asia as a “Hippie Road Freak” with the most beautiful girl in the world…Well, she later became a famous super model… Anyway, she dumped me a year later and I was devastated, suicidal.

| Care for Earth |
The Earth is Sacred
Earth is the mother of all. If we had understood the earth as the mother of all, even of great values, we would have treated the earth in a different way. We have destroyed it. We have almost poisoned it. We have broken its ecological unity. We have disturbed its environment. And now with nuclear weapons we are ready to destroy it. And it is the source of all that is beautiful, and all that is great. The earth is sacred.

Everything is interdependent. The smallest blade of grass and the biggest star both are interdependent. This is the whole foundation of ecology. Because man has behaved without understanding the reality of interdependence...

The Indian view, as defined in Ayurveda, is that awareness is the determining factor of how healthy one is. And it is also the source of how well one can improve one’s health. As is widely known, the word ‘health’ means wholeness. Public health experts connect wholeness with ‘well-working’. Wholeness is seen as a dynamic state where the whole body is functioning well...

Fancy sinking your head into a pillow or a cushion that has one of Osho’s many famous messages neatly embroidered on it? Or would you like to drink coffee out of a mug with a lotus motif or decorate your home with candle-stands in silver, steel or copper that are elaborately designed like spirals?

| Laugh Your Way to God |
Laughter brings you to the earth, brings you down from your stupid ideas of being holier-than-thou. Laughter brings you to reality as it is. The world is a play of God, a cosmic joke. And unless you understand it as a cosmic joke you will never be able to understand the ultimate mystery.
