“ ”If you are a parent, you will need enough courage not to interfere. Open doors of unknown directions to the child, so he can explore. He does not know what he has in him, nobody knows. He has to grope in the dark. Don’t make him afraid of darkness, don’t make him afraid of failure, don’t make him afraid of the unknown. Give him support. When he is going on an unknown journey, send him on with all your support, with all your love, with all your blessings. Don’t let him be affected by your fears. You may have fears, but keep them to yourself. Don’t unload those fears on the child because that will be interfering.
About Osho
Osho [Hindi: ओशो] (11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990), born Chandra Mohan Jain [चन्द्र मोहन जैन], and also known as Acharya Rajneesh from the 1960s onwards, as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh during the 1970s and 1980s and as Osho from 1989, was an Indian mystic, guru, and spiritual teacher who inspired a controversial spiritual movement in India, the United States, the Netherlands, Germany, and many other countries. His syncretic teachings emphasise the importance of meditation, awareness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humour — qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialisation.

Additional quotes by Osho
التحدث مع الغرباء يكون أكثر صدقاً، بحيث يبعث ما تكنّه في صدرك. إلا أن التحدث مع الأصدقاء والأقارب -أب وأم وزوجة وزوج وأخ وأخت- يشتمل على الكثير من المحظورات في اللاوعي: (لا تقل هذا، فقد يجرح شعوره. ولا تفعل ذاك فقد لا تحبه. ولا تتصرف على هذا النحو، والدك مسن وقد يُصدم) . وهكذا يواصل المرء عملية التحكم والمراقبة. فتسقط الحقيقة شيئا فشيئا إلى قبو كيانك، وتتمرس بالحذاقة والذكاء في استخدام التزييف. فتواصل الابتسام بابتسامات زائفة، مرسومة فقط على شفتيك.
الحياة تتعدىّ المنطق. إنها تناقض، إنها سٍرّ.
That is the simple secret of happiness. Whatever you are doing, don’t let past move your mind; don’t let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet. To live in the memories, to live in the imagination, is to live in the non-existential. And when you are living in the non-existential, you are missing that which is existential. Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.
