Comparison is a very foolish attitude, because each person is unique and incomparable. Once this understanding settles in you, jealousy disappears.

More quotes by Rajneesh
The first thing to be understood: effort is needed, but effort alone is not enough - effort and then effortlessness, effort plus effortlessness. Effort precedes, and then effortlessness follows. Effortlessness is the peak of effort, it comes only when you have reached the peak
Rajneesh
Meditation is perhaps the master key for all our problems.
Rajneesh
Fame is foolish, it is pointless, meaningless. Even if the whole world knows you, how does it make you richer? How does it make your life more blissful? How does it help you to be more understanding, to be more aware? To be more alert, to be more alive?
Rajneesh
Anybody who says that love is a hindrance on the path of self-realization is not a sage.
Rajneesh
You have to drop all your defenses, only then is intimacy possible. We are all hiding a thousand and on things, not only from others but from ourselves.
Rajneesh
Look at the flowers-for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are.
Rajneesh
Boredom and restlessness are deeply related. Whenever you feel boredom, then you feel restlessness. Restlessness is a by-product of boredom.
Rajneesh
Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.
Rajneesh
Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. . . . Easy is right means natural is right, effortlessness is right, egolessness is right.
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
So awareness and enjoying this life can grow together simultaneously. And this is my vision of the whole man.
Rajneesh
It is better not to call anything to anybody - just remain centered in yourself. Look at the world and drop judgments, and you will have such a pure atmosphere around you - no appreciation, no condemnation, just a pure watchfulness. This watchfulness, I call meditation.
Rajneesh
A man who is 100% sane is dead.
Rajneesh
There is only one courage and that is the courage to go on dying to the past, not to collect it, not to accumulate it, not to cling to it. We all cling to the past and because we cling to the past we become unavailable to the present.
Rajneesh
Live in this world, because this world gives a ripening, maturity, integrity. The challenges of this world give you a centering, an awareness. And that awareness becomes the ladder. Then you can move from Zorba to Buddha.
Rajneesh
Zen says: be empty. Look without any idea. Look into the nature of things but with no idea, with no prejudice, with no presupposition.
Rajneesh
The mind is continuously running around. It never sits, it can't sit. Sitting seems to be death to it, and in a way it is.
Rajneesh
The heart knows nothing of the past, nothing of the future it knows only of the present.
Rajneesh
Only man has become an outsider - and because of his own efforts. On his own, he has separated himself from existence.
Rajneesh
You become that which you think you are. Or, it is not that you become it, but that the idea gets very deeply rooted and that's what all conditioning is.
Rajneesh
