More quotes by Rajneesh
Children can be taught meditation more easily because they are not yet spoiled. When you have been spoiled the hard work is to help you to unlearn.
Rajneesh
Zen is the only religion in the world that teaches sudden enlightenment. It says that enlightenment takes no time, it can happen in a single, split second.
Rajneesh
When you become centered, suddenly there is great freedom because you know you are not the mind and you are not the body.
Rajneesh
You can go on changing the outer for lives and you will never be satisfied.
Rajneesh
If you go on condemning, your condemnation shows that somewhere there is a wound, and you are feeling jealous - because without jealousy there can be no condemnation. You condemn people because somehow, somewhere, unconsciously you feel they are enjoying themselves and you have missed.
Rajneesh
A Zen master used to say, It is clear and so it is hard to see. A dunce once searched for a fire with a lighted lantern. Had he known what fire was, he could have cooked his rice much sooner.
Rajneesh
It is not a question of sitting silently, it is not a question of chanting a mantra. It is a question of understanding the subtle workings of the mind. As you understand those workings of the mind a great awareness arises in you, which is not of the mind. That awareness arises in your being, in your soul, in your consciousness.
Rajneesh
Meditate, become more aware and then you will see: choices disappear, a choicelessness arises. And it is such a tremendous joy to have a choiceless spontaneity. It is such a freedom. Choice is such a burden.
Rajneesh
Hence my insistence that music and meditation should go together. That adds a new dimension to both. Both are enriched by it.
Rajneesh
Comparison is a very foolish attitude, because each person is unique and incomparable. Once this understanding settles in you, jealousy disappears.
Rajneesh
When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised.
Rajneesh
Anybody who gives you a belief system is your enemy, because the belief system becomes the barrier for your eyes, you cannot see the truth.
Rajneesh
The world is not religious because religion is imposed upon us. The parents are in a hurry to impose the church, the state, the country - everybody is in a hurry to impose a certain religion on the child. How foolish! How stupid! Religion needs maturity, great understanding, before one can choose.
Rajneesh
Just get out of your own way.
Rajneesh
Meditation is not doing anything directly to your violence, not doing anything to your jealousy, to your hate. It is simply brining light into your house, and the darkness disappears.
Rajneesh
The word 'sin' is beautiful it comes from a root which means 'forgetfulness'. You may not be able to see the connection between forgetfulness and sin, but there IS a connection: forgetfulness means unawareness, unconsciousness.
Rajneesh
Always choose the new, the less travelled by. Always choose the unknown, the less travelled by.
Rajneesh
A creativity that comes out of meditative innocence, of meditative purity. And a real creator is possible only through meditation.
Rajneesh
Those who miss meditation miss the whole dance of life.
Rajneesh
The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.
Rajneesh
