Quote

When you are sharing your joy, you don't create a prison for anybody - you simply give. You don´t even expect gratitude or thankfulness, because you are giving, but not to get anything, not even gratitude. You are giving because you are so full of joy and life, you have to give.

More quotes by Rajneesh

Image
The perfectionist is bound to be a neurotic, he cannot enjoy life, until he is perfect. And perfection as such never happens, it is not in the nature of things. Totality is possible, perfection is not possible.
Rajneesh
Image
Remember, frustration is out of expectation, and ego is always expecting. The ego is a beggar.
Rajneesh
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The whole effort of a Jesus or a Buddha or a Bodhidharma is nothing but how to undo that which society has done to you.
Rajneesh
Image
Drop dreaming and you are there where you have really been always, but you were never aware. All meditation techniques are just antidream efforts, just dream-negating devices.
Rajneesh
Image
Love is the fire in which everything is reduced to ashes. Only God will be saved. Only God cannot burn.
Rajneesh
Image
Enlightenment is when all hope disappears. Enlightenment is disappearance of hope.
Rajneesh
Image
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
Image
Your desires are immense, almost infinite. Because of your desires life becomes a competition, and wherever there is competition, there is anxiety and angst and at the end everybody is aware deep down there is death.
Rajneesh
Image
The heart is like a flower. Unless it is open, it cannot release its fragrance into the world.
Rajneesh
Image
The witnessing soul is like the sky. The birds fly in the sky but they don't leave any footprints....[The] man who is awakened lives in such a way that he leaves no footprints.... He never looks ahead, he never looks back, he lives in the moment.
Rajneesh
Image
Whatsoever you are waiting for, you are waiting in vain. It is not going to happen, and what is going to happen has nothing to do with your expectations and your desires. You just let it come in don't block the way. Remove yourself out of your own way. This time, with no expectations, no desires, no hopes, just meditate.
Rajneesh
Image
Only an acceptance of both the flowers and the thorns can bring you peace. Peace, after all, is the fruit of total acceptance.
Rajneesh
Image
Be - don't try to become.
Rajneesh
Image
If this is understood then things become very clear. Misery makes you special. Happiness is a universal phenomenon, there is nothing special about it.
Rajneesh
Image
Take hold of your own life. See that the whole existence is celebrating. These trees are not serious, these birds are not serious. The rivers and the oceans are wild, and everywhere there is fun, everywhere there is joy and delight. Watch existence, listen to the existence and become part of it.
Rajneesh
Image
To be alone and to be drunk with your own aloneness is what meditation is all about. Be in the world, but don't be of it.
Rajneesh
Image
Yesterday you were thinking about today because then it was tomorrow now it is today and you are thinking about tomorrow, and when the tomorrow comes, it will become today- because anything that exists, exists here and now, it cannot exist otherwise.
Rajneesh
Image
I love this world because it is imperfect. It is imperfect, and that's why it is growing if it was perfect it would have been dead.
Rajneesh
