"There is a dialogue, a deep dialogue between my existence and existence itself, a constant dialogue, a continuity every moment: the incoming breath, the outgoing breath. I am constantly linked with the universe, with existence. If we take two points, between these two points the dialogue continues. One point is ‘I’ and the other point, the total, is ‘thou’.

"The Upanishads are not philosophical doctrines – they are not. They are not metaphysical. Really, they are not concerned with any doctrine at all. They are paths to follow, they are ways to live, they are methods for ‘in-search.? If words are used, they are used only to convey not a doctrine, not a principle, but a method. Remember this: but a method. "

Osho, That Art Thou, #12

Chapter 51:
"There are two types of knowledge: knowledge of things and knowledge of self. The devil tempted Adam and Eve to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree of knowledge - and the Upanishads tempt you to eat the fruit of the other tree of knowledge. Unless you enter yourself, and eat the fruit of inner knowledge, you cannot be redeemed; you cannot be liberated, you cannot become free. And you can never be blissful. " Osho


Excerpted from, That Art Thou, #43

"The Upanishads do not believe in a personal God. Neither do they believe in any personal relationship with the divine. They say that personal relationship is impossible, inconceivable. Why? ndash; because the Upanishads say that personality itself is illusory. Try to understand this.

‘I am a person. It means I am separate from existence - personality means separation. I cannot be a person if I am not defined, I cannot be a person if I am not different. I cannot be a person if I am not separate.’ Personality exists as an island, defined, demarked, different, separate. The Upanishads say, personalities are false; you only appear to be persons, you are not.

"The inner being is impersonal; it has no limitations, no boundaries. It begins nowhere and ends nowhere. It goes on and on to the infinite; it is the infinite and eternal. In space and in time both, it is undefined, undifferentiated; it is not separate like an island." Osho
