More quotes by Rajneesh
Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.
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
Art for art's sake, and creation for creation's sake, and love for love's sake
Rajneesh
If meditation is going rightly, deep, you will feel transformed throughout the whole day. A subtle contentment will be present every moment. With whatsoever you are doing, you will feel a cool center inside - contentment.
Rajneesh
Individuality is that which you bring into the world.
Rajneesh
Love respects the other. It is a give-and-take relationship. Love enjoys giving, and love enjoys taking. It is a sharing, it is a communication. Both are equal in love in a sexual relationship both are not equal. Love has a totally different beauty to it.
Rajneesh
You have to pull all your energy back to the present moment. And the moment the whole energy becomes a pool, here and now, the explosion of light happens and you are, for the first time, absolutely yourself - an eternal being, an immortal being, who knows nothing of death, who has never come across any darkness.
Rajneesh
Mind cannot think without duality. Duality is the way of thinking. In silence, all dualities disappear.
Rajneesh
People can live tremendously rich, blissful, ecstatic lives. But the first thing is, we have to accept our responsibility.
Rajneesh
Learn to listen and trust your inner voice
Rajneesh
Marriage is very secure. It is safe. There is no growth in it. One is simply stuck. Marriage is a sexual arrangement intimacy is a search for love. Marriage is a sort of prostitution, a permanent sort. One has got married to a woman or to a man - it is a permanent prostitution. The arrangement is economical, not psychological, not of the heart.
Rajneesh
Laughter is more sacred than prayer, dancing more spiritual than chanting mantras, loving existence more cosmic than going to a church.
Rajneesh
Don't think in terms of comfort think in terms of freedom. Don't think in terms of safety, think in terms of being more alive. And the only way to be more alive is to live dangerously, is to risk, is to go on an adventure. And the greatest adventure is not going to the moon - the greatest adventure is going to your own innermost core.
Rajneesh
People expect too much. People who expect heaven always fall into hell - that is the law. Expect heaven and hell is certain. Don't expect heaven and there will never be any hell.
Rajneesh
Happy people continuously change and because they change they become more and more happy and then more and more change is possible.
Rajneesh
Love is born in sexuality but sexuality is not love. The lotus is born in the mud, but the lotus is not just mud. And if mud remains mud of course there are bound to be tears on the cheeks.
Rajneesh
Bliss follows witnessing - and that is going to be your meditation. Witness your body as separate, witness your mind as separate. Remain rooted in witnessing: I am only a watcher. That is going to transform your whole life, it is going to give you the ultimate.
Rajneesh
Every child is born with tremendous love for himself. It is the society that destroys that love, it is the religion that destroys that love - because if a child goes on growing in loving himself, who is going to love Jesus Christ? Who is going to love the president, Ronald Reagan? Who is going to love the parents?
Rajneesh
If you ask Zen people they will say tea is not something that you pour with unawareness and drink like any other drink. It is not a drink, it is meditation it is prayer. So they listen to the kettle creating a melody, and in that listening they become more silent, more alert.
Rajneesh
Freedom is not to be destroyed in the name of love. Freedom is a far higher value than your so-called love.
Rajneesh
