Good & Bad - Osho "Krishna - The Man and His Philosophy"

"Choice in life is relative.It is not a question of whether what Krishna did was good or bad.the question is whether it would have resulted in good or bad had he not done what he did.The question would be much easier if it was a simple choice between good and bad, but this is not the case in reality.The realities of life and that it is always the choice between greater evils and lesser evils."

Work - Osho "Krishna - The Man and His Philosophy"

"All I say is that you can create technology and wealth by way of celebration; it is not necessary to treat them as duty and work.The affluence that comes with celebration has a beauty of its own.You can abolish poverty through hard and painful work,but you will remain poor in spite of your wealth.Poverty of the spirit cannot go until you turn work into a celebration.Maybe the way of celebration will take more time, but it will abolish both kinds of poverty - material and spiritual."

Spirituality - Osho "Krishna - The Man and His Philosophy"

"He is a materialist who believes he can kill someone , and he too is a materialist who thinks he is not going to kill anyone.One thing is common to them : they believe someone can be really killed.Spirituality rejects both violence and non-violence,it accepts the immorality of the soul.And such spirituality turns even war into play".

Desire - Osho "Krishna - The Man and His Philosophy"

"Happiness really lies in the expectation.So once you achieve it, it loses its charm for you.Every happiness is imaginary : so long as you don't possess it, it seems to be abounding happiness.But as soon as it is actualized , it ceases to be happiness, our hands are empty as before.And then we seek some other object for our desire and we begin to expect it again.We feel so unhappy without it and imagine that happiness will come with it."
