More quotes by Rajneesh
Only very few people are born with awareness. Those are the people who die in awareness. If the death was conscious, then the birth will be conscious, because the death is the one side and the birth is the other side of the same coin.
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
Every moment you are different because you are not-- and unless you are, the divine cannot happen to you. To whom can it happen? You are not there.
Rajneesh
Sannyas is only a declaration. The work is meditation. In one single word, my religion is complete, and that is meditation.
Rajneesh
Getting love is a very small experience. It is the experience of beggar.
Rajneesh
Only disciplined people become free, but their discipline is not obedience to others: their discipline is obedience to their own inner voice. And they are ready to risk anything for it.
Rajneesh
In the space of no-mind, truth descends like light
Rajneesh
Don't try to force anything. Let life be a deep let-go. God opens millions of flowers everyday without forcing their buds
Rajneesh
It all depends on you. You can go on sleeping forever, you can wake up right this moment.
Rajneesh
In the East a man becomes divine only when he is no longer jealous, a man is thought to be enlightened only when he is no longer jealous. Jealousy is a by-product of the ego and when the ego disappears jealousy disappears. You cannot offend a buddha. Whatsoever you do you cannot offend him.
Rajneesh
With effort, reach to effortlessness. With seeking, reach to a state of no-seeking. With mind, arrive at no-mind.
Rajneesh
Zen says: be empty. Look without any idea. Look into the nature of things but with no idea, with no prejudice, with no presupposition.
Rajneesh
Choice is bondage, choicelessness freedom. The moment you choose something, you have fallen in the trap of the world. If you can resist the temptation to choose, if you can remain choicelessly aware, the trap disappears on its own accord, because when you don`t choose you don`t help the trap to be there - the trap is also created by your choice.
Rajneesh
We never ask the meaning of life when we are in love.
Rajneesh
That is one of the great secrets of life, that life is a movement. And if you are stuck somewhere you lose contact with life.
Rajneesh
Only a man of inner silences becomes a creator. And we need more and more creative people in the world. Their very creativity, their very silence, their very love, their very peace will be the only way to protect this beautiful planet.
Rajneesh
Misery is nothing but the shadow of attachment. And hence all stagnancy. The attached person becomes a stagnant pool - sooner or later he will stink. He flows no more.
Rajneesh
People are not things, you cannot have ownership.
Rajneesh
The mind is just like a crowd thoughts are the individuals. And because thoughts are there continuously you think the process is substantial. Drop each individual thought and finally nothing is left. There is no mind as such, only thinking.
Rajneesh
Let this be the criterion always: anything that makes you festive, anything that gives you celebration, anything that makes you dance and sing to such an extent that you disappear in your dancing, in your singing, in your celebration... is the only true religion I know of.
Rajneesh
