Never Praise Anyone


Never Praise Anyone


“Before those who are powerful your tail keeps wagging and you try to please in every little way.  Your appearance bears the expression of flattery and wily charm.  And how stiff is your posture before a lowly person!  From him you expect the same flattery and attention as you give to those who are higher than you.  You expect him to wag his tail and appreciate every word that comes out of you.  Remember, he who demands flattery has had to flatter someone somewhere, and is actually taking revenge.  But the person who has seen himself correctly, never praises anyone nor expects praise from others.  There is one God.  If he is praised that is enough.  From whom is he to ask praise?  For everywhere it is he.” – Osho “ The True Name” pg. 439

  2. Osho is dope, I have been reading his books for about 8 years now and I plan to keep on reading until I can't read anymore.
