His life can be divided into three phases:childhood, adolescent period in which he claimed himself to have become enlightened, roamed throughout the nation searching for genuine seekers, late phase in which he guided his 10000 disciples into the meditations in the ashram resting unto life.

Osho not only the name, spiritual guru but an era below are some famous quotes of Osho that will experience you the great way of living. “If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.” ― Osho “Experience life in all possible ways -- good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light, summer-winter. Experience all the dualities. Don't be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become.” ― Osho “Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously.

गीता दर्शन ( अध्याय 12) प्रवचन 8 एक मित्र ने पूछा है कि, यदि मनुष्य को अपनी सारी इच्छाएं ही छोड़नी हैं तो फिर,  जीवन का लक्ष्य क्या है? शायद उनका ख्याल हो कि इच्छाओं को पूरा करना ही जीवन का लक्ष्य है। इच्छाएं तो पूरी होती नहीं। कोई इच्छा पूरी होती नहीं। एक इच्छा पूरी होती है तो,  दस को पैदा कर जाती है। और श्रृंखला शुरू हो जाती है। जीवन का लक्ष्य इच्छाओं को,  पूरा करना नही है। जीवन का लक्ष्य इच्छाओं के बीच से इच्छारहितता को उपलब्ध हो जाना है। जीवन का लक्ष्य इच्छाओं से गुज़र के इच्छाओं के पार उठ जाना।  क्यूंकि जैसे ही कोई व्यक्ति सभी इच्छाओं के पार उठ जाता है वैसे ही उसे पता चलता है कि जीवन की परम धन्यता इच्छाओं में नही थी। इच्छाओं से तो तनाव पैदा होता था, खिंचाव पैदा होता था।   इच्छाओं से तो मन दौड़ता था।  थकता था। गिरता था। परेशान होता था। इच्छा शून्यता से प्राणों का मिलन अस्तित्व से हो जाता है। क्यूंकि कोई दौड़ नही रह जाती। कोई भाग दौड़ नही रह जाती।  जैसे झील शांत हो जाएं  और कोई लहरें ना हों। तो शांत झील में जैसे  चांद का प्रतिबिंब बन जाए। ऐसा ही जब इच्छाओं की  कोई लहर नहीं होती। और
