The mind always hankers for more and more. If you have money, it hankers for more money if you have prestige, it hankers for more prestige if you have knowledge, it hankers for more knowledge. Mind lives in the 'more.'
Rajneesh

More quotes by Rajneesh
All that this world needs is a good cleansing of the heart of all the inhibitions of the past. And laughter and tears can do both. Tears will take out all the agony that is hidden inside you and laughter will take all that is preventing your ecstasy. Once you have learned the art you will be immensely surprised.
Rajneesh
Bravery does not mean being fearless. It means to be full of fear but still not being dominated by it.
Rajneesh
Destroying something, any idiot can do. Creating needs intelligence.
Rajneesh
Anybody who says that love is a hindrance on the path of self-realization is not a sage.
Rajneesh
You can come to know the truth only when you are in love. But love never argues. There is no argument in love, because there is no aggression.
Rajneesh
What I am saying is that there is no need for anybody to suffer. Just be aware, let awareness be there. Anger will arise and will be consumed by awareness. One cannot be angry with awareness and one cannot be greedy with awareness and one cannot be jealous with awareness. Awareness is the golden key.
Rajneesh
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously then there will not be any darkness.
Rajneesh
The secret of meditation is the art of unlearning. Mind is learning meditation is unlearning: that is - die constantly to your experience let it not imprison you experience becomes a dead weight in the living and flowing, riverlike consciousness.
Rajneesh
If your creativity comes out of your silence, out of your Zen, out of your meditations, then it is authentic, original. If it comes only as an occupation because you are feeling lost and there is nothing to do - a long holiday, so you start doing something... That is not coming out of your silences, it is coming out of your crazy mind.
Rajneesh
My love is unconditional. Your action is irrelevant.
Rajneesh
Don't say this is good and that is bad. Drop all discrimination. Accept everything as it is.
Rajneesh
When there is no mind, you are in yoga when there is mind you are not in yoga. So you may do all the postures, but if the mind goes on functioning, if you go on thinking, you are not in yoga.
Rajneesh
You will have to go deep into man. From where comes this violence? From where comes this exploitation? From where come all these ego-trips? From where? They all come from unconsciousness. Man lives asleep, man lives mechanically. That mechanism has to be broken, man has to be re-done. That is the religious revolution that has not been tried.
Rajneesh
To be able to celebrate life is religion. In that very celebration you come close to God. If one is able to celebrate, God is not far away if one is not able to celebrate life, then God does not exist for him. God appears only in deep celebration, when you are so full of joy that all misery has left you, all darkness has left you.
Rajneesh
Misery nourishes your ego - that's why you see so many miserable people in the world. The basic, central point is the ego.
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
One who ”knows,” knows there is no need to discourse knowing is enough
Rajneesh
Comparison is a very foolish attitude, because each person is unique and incomparable. Once this understanding settles in you, jealousy disappears.
Rajneesh
The more mind is filled with chattering, more sex has appeal.
Rajneesh
Humanity will never be religious unless all organized religions disappear and religion becomes an individual commitment towards existence.
Rajneesh
