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
From birth to death you go on living, groping in darkness with no light - and you could have created the light. You cannot find it in the scriptures nobody can hand it to you. It is not purchased or sold it is nontransferable. But you can create it - you can put all your energies together. You can start living consciously from this very moment.
Rajneesh
I am here be nourished by me. Eat me, drink me be nourished by me. Let me become a part of your being, then I will be available forever and forever. There is no other way.
Rajneesh
What I am teaching is religiousness, a quality. Religion is a dead dogma, fixed principles, frozen fossils. What I am teaching to you is a living, flowing religiousness - an experience like love.
Rajneesh
So the first thing: become aware of death. Think about it, look at it, contemplate it. Do not be afraid, do not escape the fact. It is there and you cannot escape it! It has come into existence with you.
Rajneesh
Right awareness is awareness of one's own being in its totality: all that is good and all that is bad. But as you become aware, the bad starts disappearing - just as when you bring light into the room, the darkness disappears. When light is in the room, darkness cannot exist there. Sin is darkness, forgetfulness, unconsciousness.
Rajneesh
Always remember to judge everything by your inner feeling of bliss.
Rajneesh
You have to pull all your energy back to the present moment. And the moment the whole energy becomes a pool, here and now, the explosion of light happens and you are, for the first time, absolutely yourself - an eternal being, an immortal being, who knows nothing of death, who has never come across any darkness.
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
Anxiety comes into existence only when we become identified with small things. And they all pass.
Rajneesh
The first thing to be understood: effort is needed, but effort alone is not enough - effort and then effortlessness, effort plus effortlessness. Effort precedes, and then effortlessness follows. Effortlessness is the peak of effort, it comes only when you have reached the peak
Rajneesh
In the name of celibacy, sex has been repressed for centuries and you have become just full of sexuality. Rather than transcending it you are boiling within.
Rajneesh
When your desires drop, the world is there, but it is a totally new world. It is so fresh, it is so colorful, it is so beautiful! But a mind attached to things cannot see it because eyes are closed with attachment.
Rajneesh
Past and future are two aspects of the same coin. The name of the coin is mind.
Rajneesh
Death is the most misunderstood phenomenon. People have thought of death as the end of life. That is the first, basic misunderstanding.
Rajneesh
It's not a question of learning much.On the contrary.It's a question of UNLEARNING much.' Osho
Rajneesh
It has nothing to do with your desires and their fulfillment, with your hopes and their fulfillment it is already the case. But to see the celebration that is already happening at the deepest core of your being you will have to drop becoming, you will have to understand the futility of becoming.
Rajneesh
Drop all ideas of achieving in meditation, just do it naturally what happens happens on its own. One day, effortlessly, everything starts happening by itself.
Rajneesh
Needs can be fulfilled, desires never. Needs are natural, desires are perverted.
Rajneesh
The people who crucified Jesus were not able to see his godliness at all they could only see the mischief in him.
Rajneesh
Remember, meditation cannot be result-oriented you simply meditate, that's all.
Rajneesh
