Experience life in all possible ways -- good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light, summer-winter. Experience all the dualities. Don't be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become.
Rajneesh

Dualities
More quotes by Rajneesh
Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.
Rajneesh
Mind cannot think without duality. Duality is the way of thinking. In silence, all dualities disappear.
Rajneesh
That's what I call meditation. You simply stand aloof and just see the mind disappearing, like a cloud on a faraway horizon, leaving the sky clean and pure. And in that state arises your consciousness in its full glory, in its full celebration.
Rajneesh
Try to understand the ego. Analyze it, dissect it, watch it, observe it, from as many angles as possible. And don't be in a hurry to sacrifice it, otherwise the greatest egoist is born: the person who thinks he is humble, the person who thinks that he has no ego.
Rajneesh
My whole effort here is to keep you as non-serious as possible, for the simple reason that meditation, all kinds of meditation, can make you too serious and that seriousness will create a spiritual disease and nothing else. Unless a meditation brings you more laughter, more joy, more playfulness, avoid it. It is not for you.
Rajneesh
The more meditation goes deep, the more you will become master of your own thoughts. You will say, Stop! and the mind stops. You will say, Move! and the mind begins to move. Once this capacity comes to you, you will not fall down again. Unless this is achieved, if you discontinue meditation, soon every result will be washed away.
Rajneesh
It has happened, women have helped their husbands, sacrificed their whole lives, never thought about themselves. Their surrender, their devotion to their lovers has been total. In this totality, they have achieved before their lover has.
Rajneesh
Everybody is born with the capacity to enjoy, but not with the art. People think just because they are alive and they breathe and they exist, they know how to enjoy. That is sheer stupidity. Enjoyment is a great art, it is a great discipline. It is as subtle a discipline as music or poetry or painting. It is the greatest creativity.
Rajneesh
A woman is more humble, more grateful, more loving.
Rajneesh
Begin with dhyana, with meditation, and end in samadhi, in ecstasy, and you will know what God is. It is not a hypothesis, it is an experience. You have to LIVE it - that is the only way to know it.
Rajneesh
Life should be a continual celebration, a festival of lights the whole year round. Only then can you grow up, can you blossom.
Rajneesh
When there is no expectation there is no possibility of frustration. Expectation is the mother of all frustrations expectation gone, frustration disappears. And when there is no frustration in your life, life really becomes a bed of roses. Then God is a constant blessing he goes on raining his grace, his beauty on you.
Rajneesh
Death is the greatest illusion of all.
Rajneesh
Tantra says be real, be authentic to yourself. Your happiness is not bad it is good. It is not sin! Only sadness is sin, only to be miserable is sin. To be happy is virtue because a happy person will not create unhappiness for others. Only a happy person can be a ground for others' happiness.
Rajneesh
No thought, no mind, no choice — just being silent, rooted in yourself.
Rajneesh
There is no need to be more - you are enough. Everybody is enough.
Rajneesh
If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.
Rajneesh
Getting love is a very small experience. It is the experience of beggar.
Rajneesh
Those who have known death from inside lose all fear of death.
Rajneesh
Only the rich can achieve enlightenment because the poor are too busy looking for fridge freezers.
Rajneesh
