“Have you ever thought about it? If somebody asks, “Who are you?” what do you answer? You say your name. The name is not yours, because you came into the world without a name. You came nameless; it is not your property, it has been given to you. And any name, A-B-C-D, would have been useful. It is arbitrary. It is not essential in any way. If you are called “Susan” good; if you are called “Harry” good, it makes no difference. Any name would have been as applicable to you as any other. It is just a label. A name is needed to call you by, but it has nothing to do with your being. Or you say, “I am a doctor” or you say, “I am an engineer”—or a businessman, or a painter, or this and that—but nothing says anything about you. When you say, “I am a doctor,” you say something about your profession, not about you. You say how you earn your living. You don’t say anything about life, you say something about your living. You may be earning your living as an engineer, or as a doctor, or as a businessman—it is irrelevant. It does not say anything about you. Or you say your father’s name, your mother’s name, you give your family tree—that too is irrelevant because that doesn’t define you. Your being born in a particular family is accidental; you could as well have been born in another family and you would not even have noticed the difference. These are just utilitarian tricks—and man becomes a “self.” This self is a pseudoself, a created, manufactured self, homemade. And your own real self remains deep down hidden in mist and mystery. I was reading:”

“The whole of history is the history of murderers. If you become a murderer, fame will be very easy. You can become a prime minister, you can become a president—but these are all masks. Behind them you will find very violent people, terribly violent people hiding, smiling. Those smiles are political, diplomatic. If the mask slips, you will always see Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, Nadir Shah, Napoleon, Alexander, Hitler, hiding behind.”
― Osho, Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within

“And that is the essence of wisdom—to be in harmony with nature, with the natural rhythm of the universe. And whenever you are in harmony with the natural rhythm of the universe, you are a poet, you are a painter, you are a musician, you are a dancer.”
― Osho, Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within

“ACT IN HARMONY WITH NATURE Creativity is a very paradoxical state of consciousness and being. It is action through inaction, it is what Lao Tzu calls wei-wu-wei. It is allowing something to happen through you. It is not a doing, it is an allowing. It is becoming a passage so the whole can flow through you. It is becoming a hollow bamboo, just a hollow bamboo.”
― Osho, Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within

“Dreams have to be made real, not reality changed into dreams.”
― Osho, Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within

“If you are miserable, you and only you are responsible. Neither the past nor the social structure nor the economic system—nothing is going to help. If you remain you, in any sort of a society, you will remain miserable. In any economic system you will remain miserable, in any world you will remain miserable—if you remain you.”
― Osho, Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within

― Osho, Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within

“Patiesi dzīvs cilvēks ir tāds, kurš ir - šeit un tagad. Viņš nedzīvo no pagātnes un viņš nedzīvo no nākotnes. Viņš dzīvo šajā mirklī, šī mirkļa dēļ. Šis mirklis ir viss.”
― Osho, Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within

“Izzināt patieso ''es'' ir grūti; cilvēkam ilgi ir jāceļo, lai nonāktu mājās. Viņam ir jāklauvē pie daudzām durvīm, pirms nonākt pie īstajām.”
― Osho, Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within

“Staigājot pa pļaviņu, kad rasas lāses vēl nav iztvaikojušas, vienkārši jūti sevi absolūti klātesošu. Vijums... Pļaviņa, saskaries, savijies ar to... Rasas lāses vēsums... Rītavējs un austošā saule... Kas vēl tev ir vajadzīgs, lai būtu laimīgs?”
― Osho, Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within

“Ja tu ar kādu sarunājies, vienmēr atceries - tas ir gandrīz simtprocentīgi skaidrs: ja cilvēks sniedzas pēc cigaretes, tas nozīmē, ka viņam ir garlaicīgi. Tajā pašā brīdī aizej no viņa! Viņam gribas tevi aizdzīt, bet viņš to nedrīkst - tas būtu nepieklājīgi.”
― Osho, Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within

“Whenever you are self-conscious you are simply showing that you are not conscious of the self at all. You don’t know who you are. If you had known, then there would have been no problem—then you are not seeking opinions. Then you are not worried what others say about you—it is irrelevant! In fact, nobody ever says anything about you—whenever people say something about you, they are saying it about themselves.”
― Osho, Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within

“Life consists of small things. Just your ego goes on saying these are small things and you would like some great thing to do—great poetry. You would like to become Shakespeare or Kalidas or Milton. It is your ego that is creating the trouble. Drop the ego and everything is creative.”
― Osho, Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within
