Osho Quotes and Sayings

3. To be total is a basic thing for any seeker, for anyone in search of silence and truth.

6. Silence is the inner health; mind is the inner disease, inner disturbance.

16. The ego of the politician wants nobody to be higher than him. But whether you want it or not, the religious person is higher than you. You cannot bring transformation into people's consciousness -- he can.
