Ten Commandments - Osho
You have asked for my Ten Commandments. It’s a difficult matter,
because I am against any kind of commandment. Yet, just for the fun of
it, I write:

Osho
Do not swim, float
Do not fight with the river, because it is not your enemy, but ur friend
Float!
By fighting, you create enmity; when you swim against the current, the river opposes you.
It is not the river but you who introduces struggle.
The river flows along its course; it is not even aware of you.
Of your own will, you begin swimming against the tide.
You are asserting your will by going in the opposite direction, and that means you are nourishing and strengthening your ego.
His wish ...and you become one with the current.
Now wherever the river takes you is your destination.
Wherever it takes you is the shore. If it drowns you, that is your destination.
Then where is the anxiety, then where is the pain? You have cut off the very roots of suffering.

1. Never obey anyone’s command unless it is coming from within you also.~ OSHO ~
2. There is no God other than life itself.
3. Truth is within you, do not search for it elsewhere.
4. Love is prayer.
5. To become a nothingness is the door to truth. Nothingness itself is the means, the goal and attainment.
6. Life is now and here.
7. Live wakefully.
8. Do not swim – float.
9. Die each moment so that you can be new each moment.
10. Do not search. That which is, is. Stop and see.

Are there any “ten commandments” for meditators?
Ten non-commandments:
The first: freedom.
The second: uniqueness of individuality.
The third: love.
The fourth: meditation.
The fifth: non-seriousness.
The sixth: playfulness.
The seventh: creativity.
The eighth: sensitivity.
The ninth: gratefulness.
Tenth: a feeling of the mysterious.
These
ten non-commandments constitute my basic attitude towards reality,
towards man's freedom from all kinds of spiritual slavery.
