More quotes by Rajneesh
The real religion is not imitation of anybody else, it is a search to find out your own authentic self, who you are.
Rajneesh
What is discipline? Discipline means creating an order within you. As you are, you are a chaos.
Rajneesh
Mind is a door that leads you outside in the world meditation is the door that leads you to your interiority - to the very innermost shrine of your being.
Rajneesh
Meditation is your awakening. The moment you awake, sleep disappears and with it all the dreams, all the projections, all expectations, all desires. Suddenly you are in a state of desirelessness, non-ambition, unfathomable silence. And only in this silence, blossoms flower in your being. Only in this silence the lotuses open their petals.
Rajneesh
Two persons can be very loving together. The more loving they are, the less is the possibility of any relationship. The more loving they are, the more freedom exists between them. The more loving they are, the less is the possibility of any demand, any domination, any expectation. And naturally, there is no question of any frustration
Rajneesh
In the Lotus Sutra, it is said everything is emptiness - this world is empty, hell is empty, heaven is empty, God is empty, everything is emptiness. Emptiness is the nature of all things, nothingness, so be attuned to nothingness and you will achieve.
Rajneesh
Forget the dancer, the center of the ego become the dance. That is meditation.
Rajneesh
But there is a world of difference between dancing and watching a dance performed by a group of professionals who are paid for it. You work hard during the day, and when you are tired in the evening you go to a concert to watch others dancing. It is all you can do, but it is not even an apology for celebration.
Rajneesh
Laughing, how can you fall asleep? It brings a state of no-mind and no-thought, and does not allow you to fall asleep.
Rajneesh
Seriousness is a sickness... Existense is pure playfulness
Rajneesh
If you cannot love yourself, you don't know even the taste of love or what love means.
Rajneesh
The guru is just trying to help you, to bring you to a point where you can at least surrender the ego. Then a deep ecstasy will happen between you and your master. Wherever there is a `let-go', ecstasy happens - that is the law.
Rajneesh
Die! Die to the ego, die to your past, and you will be resurrected. That resurrection will make you go beyond death, beyond time, beyond misery.
Rajneesh
Marriage is a plastic flower - marriage is an institution. And who wants to live in an institution?
Rajneesh
Never belong to a crowd Never belong to a nation Never belong to a religion Never belong to a race. Belong to the whole existence. Why limit yourself to small things? When the whole is available.
Rajneesh
The ego is nothing but condensed unawareness. When you become aware by and by that condensed unawareness we call 'ego' disappears. Just as if you bring a lamp into the room - and the darkness disappears. Awareness is the lamp, the lamp we were talking about the first day. Be a lamp unto yourself.
Rajneesh
Belief is like plastic flowers, which look like flowers from far away. Trust is real rose. It has roots, and roots go deep into your heart and into your being.
Rajneesh
What is envy? It is nothing but passive jealousy. Maybe jealousy is too strong a phenomenon envy is a little passive. The difference may be of degrees, but it is not of quality, it is only of quantity. Envy can become jealousy at any moment envy is just jealousy in progress. Mind has to drop all envies and jealousies.
Rajneesh
If somebody asks, What is a dance? how can you define it? But you can dance and you can know the inner feel of it.
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
