Wakefulness is the only saintliness there is, and sleepiness, unconsciousness, is the only sin there is all other sins are born out of it. Cut the root, cut the very root! Don't go on pruning the leaves.
Rajneesh

More quotes by Rajneesh
Hence my insistence that music and meditation should go together. That adds a new dimension to both. Both are enriched by it.
Rajneesh
Each individual`s way is going to be different. Never follow anybody. That is the greatest calamity that can happen to a man. Once you start following somebody else, you become a carbon copy. You become an imitation.
Rajneesh
These are only outer symptoms. Death is the transfer of the soul from one body to another body, or in cases when a man is fully awakened, from one body to the body of the whole universe. It is a great journey, but you cannot know it from the outside. From outside, only symptoms are available and those symptoms have made people afraid.
Rajneesh
And through meditation comes wisdom - not through studying books, not through scriptures. Through scriptures one can become knowledgeable but no wise. and knowledgeable people are sad, they are bound to be sad because all their knowledge is borrowed. There can be no song in it.
Rajneesh
Very few people are accepted as creative: A few painters, a few poets - one in a million. This is foolish! Every human being is a born creator. Watch children and you will see: all children are creative. By and by, we destroy their creativity.
Rajneesh
Anywhere everywhere! Anything anyhow! just dance!
Rajneesh
You cannot drop the ego. Once you start trying to drop the ego you will get in a very deep mess you will become more and more worried and puzzled. And this is not the way to get rid of the ego. The only way to get rid of the ego is to look at it.
Rajneesh
The authentic pagan has no need of religion because, whatever religion can provide, he already has it.
Rajneesh
Meditation is nothing but coming to terms with your inner emptiness: recognizing it, not escaping living through it, not escaping being through it, not escaping. Then suddenly the emptiness becomes the fullness of life.
Rajneesh
All methods of meditation are nothing but methods to help you to remember the art of let-go.
Rajneesh
There is only one courage and that is the courage to go on dying to the past, not to collect it, not to accumulate it, not to cling to it. We all cling to the past and because we cling to the past we become unavailable to the present.
Rajneesh
The mind exists in time, in fact the mind is time it exists in the past and the future. And remember, time consists of only two tenses, the past and the future. The present is not part of time, the present is part of eternity.
Rajneesh
Tantra is the science of transforming ordinary lovers into soul mates. And that is the grandeur of Tantra. It can transform the whole earth it can transform each couple into soul mates.
Rajneesh
Love makes you empty - empty of jealousy, empty of power trips, empty of anger, empty of competitiveness, empty of your ego and all its garbage. But love also makes you full of things which are unknown to you right now it makes you full of fragrance, full of light, full of joy.
Rajneesh
Meditation is the most significant because it opens the door for all other significant things: love, prayer, God, light, music, poetry.
Rajneesh
I am all for love, because love fails. You will be surprised - I have my own logic. I am all for love, because love fails. I am not for marriage, because marriage succeeds it gives you a permanent settlement. And that is the danger: you become satisfied with a toy, you become satisfied with something plastic, artificial, man-made.
Rajneesh
A life of both sadness and blissfulness is multi-dimensional it moves in all dimensions together. Watch the statue of Buddha or sometimes look into my eyes and you will find both together - a blissfulness, a peace, a sadness also.
Rajneesh
I am not saying renounce sex, I am saying transform it. It need not remain just biological: bring some spirituality to it. While making love, meditate too. While making love, be prayerful. Love should not be just a physical act pour your soul into it.
Rajneesh
Through meditation one discovers one's own light. That light you can call your soul, your self, your God—whatsoever word you choose—or you can remain just silent because it has no name. It is a nameless experience, tremendously beautiful, ecstatic, utterly silent, but it gives you the taste of eternity, of timelessness, of something beyond death.
Rajneesh
The highest art one can learn is the art of loving, and that the ultimate creativity and the highest art are born out of a knack - meditation.
Rajneesh
