[MD] some osho quotes

heya,
thought these were pretty good:

"there are two types of evolution: collective and individual, conscious evolution. 'evolution' implies unconscious collective progress, so it would be better the use the word 'revolution' in talking about man. with man revolution becomes possible. revolution as i am using the word here, means a conscious individual effort towards evolution. it is bringing individual responsibility to a peak. only you are responsible for your own evolution.....
once you become aware that you alone are responsible, there is no escape through any type of unconsciousness. and you are foolish if you try to escape, because responsibility is a great opportunity for evolution. out of the struggle that is created, something new may evolve. to become aware means to know everything depends on you. even your god depends on you, because he is created by your imagination.
everything is ultimately a part of you, and you are responsible for it. there is no one to listen to your excuses; there are no courts of appeal, the whole responsibility is yours. you are alone, absolutely alone. this has to be understood very clearly. the moment a person becomes conscious he becomes alone. the greater the consciousness, the greater the awareness that you are alone. so do not escape this fact through society, friends, associations,crowds. do not escape from it! it is a great phenomenon; the whole process of evolution has been working towards this....
oneness comes only when you become egoless, and the ego can die only when you are totally alone. when you are completely alone you are not. that very moment is the moment of explosion. you explode into the infinite. this and only this is evolution. i call it revolution because it is not unconscious. you may become egoless or you may not. it is up to you. to be alone is the only real revolution. much courage is needed."


"once you know the gap [the gap between words], you are in it; you have jumped into it. it is an abyss - so peace giving, so consciousness creating. it is meditation to be in the gap; it is transformation. now language is not needed; you will drop it. it is a conscious dropping. you are conscious of the silence, the infinite silence. you are part of it, one with it. you are not conscious of the abyss as the other; you are conscious of the abyss as yourself. you know, but now you are the knowing. you observe the gap, but now the observer is the observed.

as far as words and thoughts are concerned, you are a witness, separate, and the words are the other. but when there are no words, you are the gap - yet still conscious that you are. between you and the gap, between consciousness and existence, there is no barrier now. only words are the barrier. now you are in an existential situation. this is meditation: to be one with existence, to be totally in it and still conscious. this is the contradiction,  this is the paradox. now you have known a situation in which you were conscious and yet one with it."
