FROM: OSHO, ABSOLUTE TAO "MEDITATION IS NOT SOMETHING YOU DO ONCE AND YOU ARE DONE WITH IT"
“Then meditation would be a dead thing – like a stone, not like a flower. And meditation is not like a stone, not even like a plastic flower. It is a real lotus. It blooms. It changes. With the sun it opens, in the night it closes. There is a continuous balance, and you have to find the balance every moment. Meditation is not something you do once and you are done with. It is something that is like breathing, like blood circulating." Osho

9. The Taming Power of the Small/Siau Tsj’oe. Above Wind Below Heaven
“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

8. HOLDING TOGETHER. Above Water Below Aarde.
“Something is always possible. One thing that you need is: rather than searching for a soulmate, become a soul, become more conscious.
When love is unconscious it is only lust and nothing else — a beautiful name for an ugly thing. When love is conscious, only then it is love. But how many people are conscious?When love is meditative, only then it is love. �And a meditative love will attract a meditative love energy. You get only what you deserve, remember, neither less nor more. You always get exactly that which you deserve. Existence is very just and very fair. So if you are not getting a soulmate, it is not going to help to frantically search for one. Rather look in. You are missing something in you — you are missing love qualities.” Osho

OSHO, FROM: ABSOLUTE TAO: PERFECTION AND TOTALITY
“You can be total without being perfect and you can be perfect without being total. In fact, you can only be perfect if you are not total, because perfection will choose either the right or the left; then you become a perfect rightist, or you become a perfect leftist, or you become a perfect middler. But perfection means you are fixed; perfection means no change moves within you; perfection means now you are frozen, not flowing. And perfection is always partial.”
― Osho, Absolute Tao: Subtle is the way to love, happiness and truth

7. Discipline. Above Earth Below Water
“Discipline does not mean what you have heard that it means. The word discipline comes from the same root as disciple. Its root meaning is: capacity to learn, learning to be more sensitive, to be more aware, to be more sincere, to be more authentic, to be more creative.
Life is a beautiful journey if it is a process of constant learning, exploration. Then it is excitement every moment, because every moment you are opening a new door, every moment you are coming in contact with a new mystery.” Osho, Beyond Enlightenment

TAO IMPRESSION: KNOWLEDGE VERSUS KNOWING
"If you simply stand before the setting sun, with all the colors spread over the horizon, shadows, reflections in the ocean, it is so enchanting that you almost stop breathing. You are in a state of awe. Those few moments are knowing. Tomorrow you will tell somebody what a beautiful sunset you have seen the day before – that will be knowledge. Now it is only words." from: Osho, The Great Zen Master Ta Hui

5. Waiting/Wachten. Above Water Below Heaven.
"We have forgotten how to Wait; it is almost an Abandoned Space. And it is our greatest Treasure to be able to Wait for the Right Moment." Osho, The Diamond Thunderbolt

4. Youthful/Meng Above Water Below Thunder
A young man is foolish; he does not know that the victory comes through Let-Go. He cannot know, it is difficult to know. He will have to pass through many frustrations; only then he will become aware that frustrations are the other aspect of expectations.
He will have to pass through many defeats; only then will he come to know that victory belongs to those who don’t fight, who give way, who don’t fight against the current, who don’t try to come upstream, who simply leave themselves wherever nature puts them.” Osho, Returning to the Source
