Osho, any message for kutch?

I AM coming! And I am coming with my whole world of orange people. We are going to change the whole color of Kutch -- we are going to make it orange! First ten thousand sannyasins will arrive, then more will be coming. Within five years fifty thousand sannyasins will be there and within ten years one hundred thousand sannyasins will be there. So, Navin Mehta, tell the people of Kutch: Get ready! We are certainly going to destroy many things -- many things which need to be destroyed, which should have been destroyed long ago. The whole of India is suffering from many stupidities, many superstitions. We are not going to leave a single stone unturned! We are going to destroy every nonsense, howsoever ancient and old it may be. We are going to bring a totally new vision to Kutch. I have chosen Kutch for the simple reason…

What is your message, Osho? I don't understand you.

When you try to understand me you will miss, because while I am imparting something to you, you are engaged and occupied in understanding it. You will miss it. Don't try to understand it, just listen! Just as I am talking to you without any motive, listen on your part without any motive -- and the meeting is bound to happen. When I am without motive and you are without motive, what can hinder, what can obstruct the meeting? Then the meeting is going to happen. And in that communion is understanding; in that communion is light, clarity, transparency. So rather than trying to understand me, celebrate me, rejoice in me -- and you will understand, and without any effort to understand. Nobody ever understands through effort. What effort do you make when you listen to music? Do you try to understand it? If you try to understand it, you…

Osho, your essential message? Sahajanand, my message is small—and also immensely vast! My message is atomic, yet an atomic explosion can burst from it.

Youth is arriving, youth is arriving; a blazing sun is arriving. The garden breezes are at their frolic— a revolution is arriving anew. Is that the sun in the East or in the tavern? Someone is arriving with a goblet of wine. Is it a rainbow, or from the court of the sky a minstrel is arriving, lifting his rebab? Is a lotus blooming, or from the garden’s pool a rising sun is arriving? I have brought wine for you! I have brought a song for you! Drink and sing! To drown you in wine, to soak you in songs!... I have no eagerness to give you sermons. I am not a preacher—I am a madman. Join me, and you too will go mad. I want to save you from the preachers; they are the ones who have deformed you. Your stubbornness made me drink even more, sir— O Sheikh,…

Osho, what is your message?

MY MESSAGE IS VERY SIMPLE Live life as dangerously as possible. Live life totally, intensely, passionately, because except for life there is no other God. Friedrich Nietzsche says God is dead. That is wrong because God has never been there in the first place. How can he be dead? Life is, always has been, will always be. Allow yourself... and I repeat again, allow yourself to be possessed by life. The so-called religions of the past have been telling you just the opposite. They say, "Renounce." I say, "Rejoice." They negate life, I affirm it. They say life is something wrong, illusory, and they create an abstract idea of God which is nothing but a projection of their own minds. And they worship that projection. It is so unintelligent, so utterly stupid that one wonders how millions of people have believed in such sheer nonsense. That which is, is denied…
