More quotes by Rajneesh
Try to force celibacy upon yourself and your dreams will become sexual, they will have a quality of sexuality.
Rajneesh
Those who miss meditation miss the whole dance of life.
Rajneesh
Because we cling to the past we become unavailable to the present.
Rajneesh
When there is nothing to desire, there is nothing to dream about either, because dreams are reflections of your desires. Dreams are reflections of your frustrations, dreams are reflections of your repressions, dreams reflect your day-life.
Rajneesh
Remember: life is a rhythm between day and night, summer and winter. It is a continuous rhythm. Never stop anywhere! Be moving! And the bigger the swing, the deeper your experience will be.
Rajneesh
You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty.
Rajneesh
Surrender is just like love. That's why I say only lovers can become sannyasins - because they know a little of how to surrender. Love is the first step towards the divine, surrender is the last. And two steps is the whole journey.
Rajneesh
Intelligence is dangerous. Intelligence means you will start thinking on your own you will start looking around on your own. You will not believe in the scriptures you will believe only in your own experience.
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
All duality is a mind creation, all duality is created by the clinging and attached mind. When there is no attachment there is no duality.
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
You don't know what beauty is. You use the word, certainly, but your word is empty. Beauty is known only by one who has known the inner beauty, one who has known the inner flower opening. Then whenever a flower is seen, it reminds you of your inner beauty.
Rajneesh
The western mind is linear, the eastern mind is circular.
Rajneesh
Meditation is enough. Everything else follows on its own.
Rajneesh
My whole teaching consists of two words, meditation and love. Meditate so that you can feel immense silence, and love so that your life can become a song, a dance, a celebration. You will have to move between the two, and if you can move easily, if you can move without any effort, you have learned the greatest thing in life.
Rajneesh
Nobody else can destroy you except you nobody else can save you except you. You are the Judas and you are the Jesus.
Rajneesh
Move as a total being, and accept things. Just for twenty-four hours, try it - total acceptance, whatsoever happens. Someone insults you, accept it don't react, and see what happens. Suddenly you will feel an energy flowing in you that you have not felt before.
Rajneesh
Philosophers are never happy here. Now is not their time, and here is not their space. They live there, they live somewhere else.
Rajneesh
Your desires are immense, almost infinite. Because of your desires life becomes a competition, and wherever there is competition, there is anxiety and angst and at the end everybody is aware deep down there is death.
Rajneesh
Your honesty, Your love, Your compassion should come from your inner being, not from teachings and scriptures.
Rajneesh
