Meditation or religion is a totally different world: it is relaxation, it is let-go - it is not concentration at all. It is not one-pointedness, it is no-pointedness.

More quotes by Rajneesh
If you have found your truth within yourself there is nothing more in this whole existence to find.
Rajneesh
Move inwards! Contentment is a quality of your center it is not found on the circumference. Fulfillment is when you have arrived at your real, authentic being it is not found in the ego.
Rajneesh
Man is certainly not creative, but his creativity should not be concerned with God. His creativity should be concerned with making a better world, a better society, better literature, better poetry, better paintings, better sculpture, better human beings.
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 effort. Effort is tension, effort is work, effort is to achieve something. Zen is not something to achieve. You are already that. Just relax, relax so deeply that you become a revelation to yourself.
Rajneesh
Try to understand the ego. Analyze it, dissect it, watch it, observe it, from as many angles as possible. And don't be in a hurry to sacrifice it, otherwise the greatest egoist is born: the person who thinks he is humble, the person who thinks that he has no ego.
Rajneesh
Don't seek, don't search, don't ask, don't knock, don't demand - relax. If you relax, it comes. If you relax, it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it.
Rajneesh
This whole society, up to now, has been very violent with the individual. It does not believe in the individual it is against the individual. It tries in every possible way to destroy you for its own purposes. It needs clerks, it needs stationmasters, deputy-collectors, policemen, magistrates, it needs soldiers. It does not need human beings.
Rajneesh
As I see it, out of a hundred marriages ninety-nine marriages are just licensed prostitution. They are not marriages. A marriage is only a real marriage when it grows out of love. Legal, illegal, does not matter. The real thing that matters is love.
Rajneesh
A man becomes a Buddha the moment he accepts all that life brings with gratitude.
Rajneesh
You will not become dependent on the people you love. You will share - and sharing is beautiful.
Rajneesh
Needs can be fulfilled, desires never. Needs are natural, desires are perverted.
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
Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.
Rajneesh
Choicelessness is the alchemy of transformation, of inner mutation. A new being is born who has nothing to do with the past, who is absolutely discontinuous with the past. He has no desire. And when there is no desire, for the first time you live
Rajneesh
Awareness is fire it burns all that is wrong in you. It burns your ego. It burns your greed, it burns your possessiveness, it burns your jealousy - it burns all that is wrong and negative, and it enhances all that is beautiful, graceful, divine.
Rajneesh
You can change your attachment from this to that, but you will be in misery. Attachment creates misery.
Rajneesh
`Freedom` means freedom from the mind. Then you are simply in a silence, and in that silence you melt, you merge with the whole. And to melt and merge with the whole is to be holy. Not by fasting, not by torturing, but by becoming one with the whole, one becomes holy.
Rajneesh
Life is a garden. It is an opportunity. You can grow weeds, you can grow roses it all depends on you.
Rajneesh
Listening means forgetting yourself completely - only then can you listen.
Rajneesh
