Osho on Happiness

FROM: www.osho.com



Google the word “happiness” and you get over thirty-two billion results. The pursuit of it is enshrined in the United States Declaration of Independence as an unalienable right. The state of being happy feels good. So why aren’t we happy all the time?

                                           

“When there is a lot of running about, a lot of running here and there, man is unhappy. Happiness is being at complete rest. You run here and there in search of happiness, but your arithmetic is wrong, your calculations are faulty. You think you will find happiness by running hither and thither, but in the end all this running only makes you miserable. 

The final result of all this running about is unhappiness. The more you run, the more miserable you will be. Happiness is that moment of rest when there is no more running; when you are just at rest; when you are simply there where you are; when you do not move even an inch. And then, in that moment of rest, there is happiness, there is nothing but happiness. 
Meditate over this.”
                                           
Osho, The Great Secret, Talk #9

The Happiness That Comes from Within   “It is my observation that all human hearts are the same and that their ultimate desire is also the same. This soul wants happiness, perfect and pure happiness because only then will all desires end. As long as desire exists; misery exists because with desire there can be no peace. “The total absence of desire brings happiness. It also brings freedom and liberation, because whenever something is lacking there are both limits and dependency. Only when nothing at all is lacking there is the possibility of total freedom. Freedom brings happiness. And happiness is salvation.” Osho, The Long, the Short and the All, Talk #6 “Happiness suddenly jumps upon you. When desire disappears, happiness appears. When the striving is no more, for the first time you see who you are. That knowing is what Buddha means: Come and see: 'Ihi passika'. Where is he calling you: Come and see? He is calling you from your desires. You have gone far away from your home, you have lost your home base and are not where you appear to be. Your dream has taken you to faraway worlds: imaginary, illusory, your own creation.” Osho, This Very Body the Buddha, Talk #1

45 Rules For Life.

Via: Alex Myleson Nov 26, 2014

“You’ll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look. Dance as though everybody is watching. March to the beat of your own drummer. And stubbornly refuse to fit in.” 
~ Mandy Hale

The journey through life takes us all through a succession of lessons.

Some, are learnt quickly, others will come back time and time again to haunt us—until the true meaning of it finally sinks in.

No matter how much we think we know all the things we should and shouldn’t do, what is good and what is bad for us and what will harbour us or free us, we will still get caught in the moment and trip up time and again.

Below are some of the (often messy) lessons that I’ve learned the hard way. As difficult as I found each one to swallow, all of them were good for me, and all of them were life changing.

1.   Never allow other people’s negativity to penetrate you, it comes from a place of hurt, so, don’t let it hurt you.

2.   Trying to  “teach” someone a lesson never works, they will learn when they are ready.

3.   Miracles happen.

4.   Not getting what we want can be exactly what we need.

5.   There is a positive in every negative.

6.   You can learn from everyone and everything.

7.   The law of attraction works; what you believe you deserve, you will get.

8.   Our instinct guides us, trust in it. 

9.   The most important relationship we will ever have is the one we have with ourselves; date, take care and love yourself.

10. Remember that relationships are mirrors to the soul, they will show us who we are.

11. No one else can complete us, we must find the whole within.

12. We are each responsible for our own emotions.

13. “Good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” ~ Marilyn Monroe

14. Acceptance will heal what time can’t.

15. Worrying only magnifies problems.

16. Chocolate fixes quite a lot. 

17. Sleep well, our bodies and minds are always better after a good rest.

18. Never carelessly or deliberately break a heart; it will soon become regret.

19. We can never own anyone else; control and manipulation do not work.

20. Heartbreak cuts as deep as we allow it.

21. Love can happen instantly, but knowing the other person can take a lifetime.

22. The good should always outweigh the bad.

23. Over thinking can do more harm than good; calm the mind regularly. 

24. One lie can be enough to break trust.

25. Anger will hurt you more than it will hurt them.

26. Even the biggest achievements arise from a series of the smallest footsteps.

27. Question everyone and everything; let your curiosity be curious. 

28. Never settle.

29. Even a spider’s life is sacred, you will always feel better for saving it.

30. It is the journey that matters most.

31. Treat all living things as we would like to be treated.

32. Never cheat, it will hurt you more in the long run.

33. Money and material possessions will not bring happiness, it can only be found within.

34. You will never regret time spent with nature. 

35. Know which battles need to be fought and which don’t.

36. Forgiveness will do you more good than it will do them.

37. Never discuss things when angry, it will always escalate things.

38. “Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.” ~ George Carlin

39. Who we are on the inside will reflect on the outside.

40. Keep around you those who love and cherish you, not those who wish to do you harm.

41. Vulnerability can be a strength, do not be afraid to show it.

42. You are not weird, strange, crazy or odd—you are unique on this planet, learn to love your differences.

43. “Love is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder. ” ~ Henry David Thoreou 

44. It’s not just men and women who think differently, we all think differently.

45. Trust that everything happens for a reason—even if we can’t always see it at the time, we will one day.

We all have our own set of rules that we live by, even if we make and break them daily.

The old saying “we learn something new every day” is so true, the opportunity is there to constantly learn from everything we stumble upon.

Life will constantly teach us. It is up to us to decide if and when we listen.
