Quote

Remember the word bodhichitta, because Atisha says the whole effort of religion, the whole science of religion, is nothing but an endeavor to create bodhichitta, buddha-consciousness: a mind which functions as a no-mind, a mind which dreams no more, thinks no more, a mind which is just awareness, pure awareness.

Image
The whole play of existence is so beautiful that laughter can be the only response to it. Only laughter can be the real prayer, gratitude.
Rajneesh
Image
Love and respect yourself and never compromise for anything. And then you will be surprised how much growth starts happening of its own accord.. as if rocks have been removed and the river has started flowing.
Rajneesh
Image
This has to be your first lesson in sannyas: accept yourself, love yourself, drop all guilt, don`t divide yourself. There is nothing higher, nothing lower all of you is divine. The lowest is as divine as the highest.
Rajneesh
Image
Remember, meditation cannot be result-oriented you simply meditate, that's all.
Rajneesh
Image
Truth needs meditative eyes. If you don't have meditative eyes, then the whole life is just dull dead facts, unrelated to each other, accidental, meaningless, a jumble, just a chance phenomenon. If you see the truth, everything falls into line, everything falls together in a harmony, everything starts having significance.
Rajneesh
Image
Death is the most misunderstood phenomenon. People have thought of death as the end of life. That is the first, basic misunderstanding.
Rajneesh
Image
Individuality is that which you bring into the world.
Rajneesh
Image
Meditation is neither of the body nor of the mind, but belongs to the third within you—your being.
Rajneesh
Image
All that is great cannot be possessed - and that is one of the most foolish things man goes on doing. We want to possess.
Rajneesh
Image
I am teaching you to live simply. To live with an idea is a very complicated living, it is cunning. To live simply, just like trees and birds.
Rajneesh
Image
Chaung Tzu was one of the most natural men the world has seen. He has not given any discipline, he has not given any doctrine, he has not given any catechism. He has simply explained one thing: that if you can be natural and ordinary, just like the birds and trees, you will blossom, you will have your wings open in the vast sky.
Rajneesh
Image
What is wrong with enjoying yourself? What is wrong in being happy? If there is anything wrong it is always in your unhappiness, because an unhappy person creates ripples of unhappiness all around him. Be happy!
Rajneesh
Image
They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then think as much as you want!
Rajneesh
Image
Unless your sexuality rises and reaches to love it is mundane, it has nothing sacred about it. When your sex becomes love, then it is entering into a totally different dimension - the dimension of the mysterious and the miraculous. Now it is becoming religious, sacred, it is no longer profane.
Rajneesh
Image
Spirituality belongs to the eternal, and religion belongs to the temporal. Religion belongs to people's behavior. It is really what Pavlov, Skinner, Delgado and others call a conditioning of the behavior. The child is brought up by Christians - then he is conditioned in one way, he becomes a Christian.
Rajneesh
Image
Unless you love yourself, you can't love anybody. Be selfish.
Rajneesh
Image
During the first seven years, every society tries to condition the mind - and conditioning means nothing but hypnosis: forcing authority, law, tradition, religion, scripture, the priest, the church, into the innermost unconscious of the child so that from there you can control him.
Rajneesh
Image
[M]ental peace is not meditation. Meditation is the flight beyond the mind. It has nothing to do with mental peace.
Rajneesh
Image
Love is born in sexuality but sexuality is not love. The lotus is born in the mud, but the lotus is not just mud. And if mud remains mud of course there are bound to be tears on the cheeks.
Rajneesh
Image
Don't be bothered by perfection. Replace the word 'Perfection' by 'Totality. Totality will give you a different dimension.
