Osho Quotes on Sin
- People are living in unconsciousness, doing all kinds
of things in unconsciousness. Everybody is an unconscious robot. We are
just pretending that we are conscious; we are not conscious. The moment
you become conscious, all unconscious actions disappear from your life.
Your life starts moving in a new dimension. Your each act comes out of
inner clarity; your each response is virtuous, is virtue. To live
unconsciously is to live in sin; to live consciously is to be virtuous, is
to be religious. And to live in total awareness is to be a buddha, is to
be a christ.
- While one is asleep one cannot do anything that is
good. Virtue is impossible in unconsciousness, only sin is possible.
Unconsciousness is the source of sin.
- Any action coming out of unconsciousness is sin. The
action may look virtuous, but it cannot be. You may create a beautiful
facade, a character, a certain virtuousness; you may speak the truth, you
may avoid lies; you may try to be moral, and so on and so forth. But if
all this is coming from unconsciousness, it is all sin.
- The word 'sin' is beautiful; it comes from a root which
means 'forgetfulness'. You may not be able to see the connection between
forgetfulness and sin, but there IS a connection: forgetfulness means
unawareness, unconsciousness.
- Wakefulness is the only saintliness there is, and
sleepiness, unconsciousness, is the only sin there is; all other sins are
born out of it. Cut the root, cut the very root! Don't go on pruning the
leaves.
- If you are unconscious, unaware, you are living only in
the body, the mortal. And a person who lives for the body, in the body,
and only for the body, lives in sin.
- Jesus gives a sensitivity to people. an awareness, a
mindfulness, a meditation, so that they can feel their way, so that they
can understand every situation and respond accordingly. If you go deeply
into Jesus you will understand only one thing: that to act with awareness
is virtue and to act with unawareness is sin. Sin is not a quality of any
act. Neither is virtue. Sin and virtue belong to the presence or absence
of awareness. It is not WHAT you do which is sin or virtue. it is HOW you
do it: aware or unaware. It doesn't depend on the action. It depends, deep
down, on the consciousness -- what quality you bring to it.
- I cannot say to you what is right or wrong. I can say
only one thing to you: be conscious -- that is right. Don't be unconscious
because that is wrong. And then whatsoever you do in consciousness is
right. But people are living in unconsciousness. And let me tell you: in
unconsciousness you may think you are doing something right, but it can't
be right. Out of unconsciousness, virtue cannot flower; it may appear
virtuous but it can't be. Deep down it will still be something wrong. If
you are unconscious and you give money to a poor man, watch: your ego is
strengthened. This is sin.
