The ego does not, cannot live in the present, because the present is real and the ego is false - they never meet.

More quotes by Rajneesh
Man is born only as a potential. He can become a thorn for himself and for others, he can also become a flower for himself and for others.
Rajneesh
In the space of no-mind, truth descends like light
Rajneesh
Life is not logic, life is not philosophy. Life is a dance, a song, a celebration! It is more like love and less like logic.
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
Death is the most misunderstood phenomenon. People have thought of death as the end of life. That is the first, basic misunderstanding.
Rajneesh
A man of many seasons and many rainbows - there are so many dimensions of celebration.
Rajneesh
Spirituality is rebellion religiousness is orthodoxy. Spirituality is individuality religiousness is just remaining part of the crowd psychology. Religiousness keeps you a sheep, and spirituality is a lion's roar.
Rajneesh
Love can exist only after meditation, not before it. That is a simple existential law. Before meditation - only lust, only sexuality. Before meditation you are an animal and not really a human being. With meditation a transformation comes: you become human, and out of your humanness, love flows.
Rajneesh
Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.
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
Your life sparks fires from within your innermost temple. No one can reach there but you, it is your inner sanctum. You are your own master there, only you can reach and ignite the fire.
Rajneesh
In meditation, once you are gone in, you are gone in. Then, even when you resurrect you are a totally different person. The old personality is nowhere to be found. You have to start your life again from abc. You have to learn everything with fresh eyes, with a totally new heart. That's why meditation creates fear.
Rajneesh
Find godliness and good will come on its own accord. And when good comes on its own accord, it has a beauty, a grace, a simplicity, a humbleness.
Rajneesh
Without possessions, success, fame who are you?
Rajneesh
Nature has come to a point where now, unless you take individual responsibility, you cannot grow.
Rajneesh
There are a few things that can be done only by experiencing them. Love is one of them. There is no way to learn it you have to do it. And by trial and error one learns.
Rajneesh
Zen is not a philosophy, it is poetry. It does not propose, it simply persuades. It does not argue, it simply sings its own song.
Rajneesh
The whole blame goes to the parents. They have lived as ambitious beings they have destroyed themselves. Now they go on giving their heritage to their children - their unfulfilled desires, their incomplete ambitions. In this way diseases pass on from one generation to another.
Rajneesh
To be an individual is the hardest thing in the world, because nobody likes you to be an individual. Everybody wants to kill your individuality and to make a sheep out of you. Nobody wants you to be on your own.
Rajneesh
Mind is politics, because mind is ambitious and ambition is the root of politics. If you are ambitious you are political. Your ambition may take the form of religion, but the politics is there. Then you are competing with other saints.
Rajneesh
