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
I'm starting to get hyped up, i never read a Osho book yet, but damn sure i will! All these quotes are realistic and applicable to many spheres of life.
ReplyDeleteOsho 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.
