According to Osho, the purpose of this vast organization is simply to cause an uproar—to jolt people out of their habitual sleep, disturb complacency, and catalyze awareness. This uproar is a deliberate shock, not chaos for its own sake: a wake-up call that challenges conditioning, provokes inquiry, and clears space for inner transformation. That is all.
It’s here to make a loud stir so you wake up and see life with fresh eyes.
From the Discourses
Passages where Osho speaks to this question — each links to the complete discourse.
Osho, what is the name of your religion? Who is the deity of your religion? What is worship? What is the goal of your religion? What is the purpose of the organization that the thousands around you are creating? Please also tell us when and how the welfare of this sad humanity will happen.
My religion is rejoicing, celebration. Does celebration have a goal? Joy is its own goal. Ask someone, “What is the goal of your love?” He will tell you. Here in our country, anyone will tell you the goal of love: to get a scooter. Someone else wants something else in dowry. What all things people demand! The goal of love! If love is true, its goal is itself; it has no other goal. Love is its own joy—supreme joy. Joy has no goal. Religiosity is another name for joy. We sing love’s song to the instrument of ecstasy. With the heat of our sorrow we melt stone. Once we awaken, even on the gallows sleep does not come. If the time demands, we sleep on burning coals. Who could love life more than we do? And if it comes to dying—then we die. Even buried in the dust we cannot…
Osho, your idea of a diffused movement—it will create chaos!
Yes, that is exactly what I want. And I say to you: because up to now human society has not had the courage to create chaos, a true human society could not come into being. It takes the courage for chaos. Because out of chaos, creation is born. That is my own vision. So I want the mind of this country to become chaotic, at least once. To be chaotic means: to be thinking. To be chaotic means: to be doubting. To be chaotic means: to be questioning. And all the fixed patterns of thousands of years should loosen, a certain looseness should come. And we begin to think, and a movement arises, and a flow begins.
FIRST QUESTIONER: WHAT IS YOUR MISSION IN LIFE? AND WHAT METHOD SHOULD WE USE TO FULFILL THIS MISSION? OSHO: As far as my mission in life is concerned, there is no such thing as my mission. Neither is there any my, nor is there any mission. I am not teaching something to others -- there is no message to be given to the world. Messages are many, missions are enough -- and there is no lack of missionaries, nor is there any lack of thoughts, ideologies, isms. On the contrary, the mind of the world is much too burdened with these things. To me it seems that if the mind of man can be unburdened, only then is there any possibility of living the truth, or of feeling life in its totality. Ideologies, thoughts, isms, missions, they all add to the burden of the mind.
Osho, you are always immersed in bliss—what is the secret of it? When will I be able to attain this ecstasy?
Yogananda, I have given you the name Yogananda; the whole secret is in it. A human being can live in two ways: either cut off from existence, or in oneness with it. Whoever lives separate will live in sorrow—anxiety and anguish. That is natural, for to live apart from existence is like a tree pulling its roots out of the earth and trying to live. It will wither; the leaves will droop, flowers will cease to bloom. Spring will come and keep coming, but that tree will never become a bride, never a bridegroom. For it there will be no spring. If the roots have been torn from the soil, what remedy can even the honeyed month of spring offer? Then where is bliss, where is ecstasy! Then there is no dawn—only a dark new-moon night, a night with no morning. Such a life is called ego. And the tree…
The way seems to be towards peace and awareness. Why then is everyone and everything around you in such a chaos?
If you live in the past you are a dead thing. You are not an alive force. And there is only one way to become alive, and that is to die to the past, die to the dead. And this is not going to happen once and forever. Once you know the secret, each moment you have to die to the past, so no dust gathers on you. Then death becomes a constant reorientation, a constant rebirth. Always remember: die to the past Whatsoever has passed, has passed. It is no more; it is nowhere. It only clings in the memory. It is only in your mind. Mind is the depository of all that is dead. That's why mind is the only block for life to flow. The dead bodies accumulate around the flow; they become the block. All that I am doing here is in helping you to learn…
