When one is total, life flowers - and that flowering is spirituality. Spirituality is not an attitude, it is not a discipline. It is an outcome of a life lived totally, joyfully, delightfully of a life of no complaint of a life lived courageously, intensely. Then this flowering happens.
Rajneesh
Image
Sannyas is only a declaration. The work is meditation. In one single word, my religion is complete, and that is meditation.
Rajneesh

Rajneesh

Remember the word bodhichitta, because Atisha says the whole effort of religion, the whole science of religion, is nothing but an endeavor to create bodhichitta, buddha-consciousness: a mind which functions as a no-mind, a mind which dreams no more, thinks no more, a mind which is just awareness, pure awareness.
Rajneesh
Image
You can call it godliness - it IS godliness. It is the highest, the greatest flowering of being. But it is not a God somewhere outside you. You cannot pray to it. You can be it, but you cannot pray to it, because it is not separate.
Rajneesh
Image
Needs can be fulfilled, desires never. Needs are natural, desires are perverted.
Rajneesh

Sadness comes, joy comes, and everything passes by. What remains always is the witness. The witness is beyond all polarities.
Rajneesh

Repressed anger becomes a temporary madness. Something happens which is beyond your control. If you could have controlled, you would have controlled it still -- but suddenly it was overflowing. Suddenly it was beyond you. You couldn't do anything, you felt helpless -- and it came out. Such a person may not be angry, but he moves and lives in anger.
Rajneesh
Image
Become more and more innocent, less knowledgeable and more childlike. Take life as fun - because that's precisely what it is!
Rajneesh
Image
Unless one becomes a womb one never becomes pregnant with god. One cannot conquer god, one can't be aggressive - that is the sure way to fail. One can only surrender and allow god to happen. That's what the quality of being feminine really is. That is the essential core of meditation.
Rajneesh
Image
I am not interested in communicating something to you, I am interested in communion. Communication means my mind talking to your mind. Communion means I am not a mind, you are not a mind - just your heart melting into my heart, no words.
Rajneesh
Image
Time is a need of the miserable mind. Time is a creation of misery. If you are happy there is no time - time disappears.
Rajneesh
Image
First become a Zorba, a flower of this earth, and earn the capacity through it to become a Buddha - the flower of the other world. The other world is not away from this world the other world is not against this world: the other world is hidden in this. This is only a manifestataion of the other, and the other is the unmanifest part of this.
Rajneesh
Image
Meditation is the art of cleaning your mirror from all the dust that the society, the religion, the educational system has poured on you, to take away everything that has not been born with you, to bring you to your absolute innocence as you were born as a child.
Rajneesh
Image
Hence my insistence that music and meditation should go together. That adds a new dimension to both. Both are enriched by it.
Rajneesh

All that is great cannot be possessed - and that is one of the most foolish things man goes on doing. We want to possess.
Rajneesh
Image
The word relationship is beautiful. The original meaning of the root from which the word to relate comes is exactly the same as to respond. Relationship comes from that word respond. If you have any image of your wife or husband, you cannot respond, and hence relate, to the truth of the person. And we all go on carrying images.
Rajneesh
Image
It is your attachment that creates hell.
Rajneesh
Image
I teach you celebration. And laughter has certainly to be one of the major ingredients in this celebration.
Rajneesh
Image
Meditation is not growth of the ego, it is death of the ego.
Rajneesh
Image
Meditation is a surrender, it is not a demand. It is not forcing existence your way, it is relaxing into the way existence wants you to be. It is a let-go.
Rajneesh
