More quotes by Rajneesh
Meditation is nothing but coming to terms with your inner emptiness: recognizing it, not escaping living through it, not escaping being through it, not escaping. Then suddenly the emptiness becomes the fullness of life.
Rajneesh
Why is so much sex needed? Because you are tense, sex becomes a release. Your tensions are released through it - you feel relaxed, you can go to sleep if you repress it, you remain tense. And if you repress sex - the only release, the only possibility of release - what will happen? You will go mad. Where will you release your tensions then?
Rajneesh
So the first thing: become aware of death. Think about it, look at it, contemplate it. Do not be afraid, do not escape the fact. It is there and you cannot escape it! It has come into existence with you.
Rajneesh
Don't choose. If you choose, you will be in the quagmire. Don't choose! A choiceless awareness is the goal. Just remain aloof don't choose. The moment you choose, you have fallen into the trap of the world, or into the trap of the mind.
Rajneesh
Be in relaxation a few moments. It can be any kind of situations - swimming in the river, relax with the river, or sunning on the beach, relax with the sun - anything. Life is full of opportunities.
Rajneesh
Every child is so helpless - just to survive he has to be political, he has to accept whatsoever the parents are saying.
Rajneesh
Tomorrow never comes.
Rajneesh
Through meditation one has to achieve a dreamless sleep with full alertness. Once this happens, the drop falls into the ocean and becomes the ocean.
Rajneesh
Walk, but make walking a meditation walk knowingly Breathe, but let your breathing become a constant meditation breathe knowingly. The breath going in: watch it. The breath going out: watch it. Eat, but eat with full awareness. Take a bite, chew it, but go on watching. Let the watcher be there in every moment, whatsoever you are doing.
Rajneesh
Only those persons who have lived, really lived, are ready, welcoming, receptive, thankful to death. Then death is not the enemy. Then death becomes the fulfillment.
Rajneesh
Meditation or religion is a totally different world: it is relaxation, it is let-go - it is not concentration at all. It is not one-pointedness, it is no-pointedness.
Rajneesh
A man who loves himself takes the first step towards real love.
Rajneesh
Life is not static. If life were static there would be no need for meditation. The mind would do. Then you could think, and whenever, after many lives, you knocked at the door, the girl would be waiting for you. But life is a flux, a movement. Every moment it is changing and becoming new. If you miss a moment, you have missed.
Rajneesh
I am free. If I want to be sad, it is my freedom. If I want to be happy, it is my freedom. Once you know that you are your world, you have penetrated into a different kind of understanding. Then nothing else matters - all else is games and excuses.
Rajneesh
Practise love. Sitting alone in your room, be loving. Radiate love. Fill the whole room with your love energy.
Rajneesh
It has nothing to do with your desires and their fulfillment, with your hopes and their fulfillment it is already the case. But to see the celebration that is already happening at the deepest core of your being you will have to drop becoming, you will have to understand the futility of becoming.
Rajneesh
Love and respect yourself and never compromise for anything. And then you will be surprised how much growth starts happening of its own accord.. as if rocks have been removed and the river has started flowing.
Rajneesh
One has to love unconditionally - the trees and the rocks and the sun and the moon and the people.
Rajneesh
Create inner freedom through witnessing. Sannyas is only for the inner freedom. And live out of inner freedom.
Rajneesh
And the miracle is: if you can go into your suffering as a meditation, watching, to the deepest roots of it, just through watching, it disappears. You don't have to do anything more than watching. If you have found the authentic cause by your watching, the suffering will disappear.
Rajneesh
