Quote

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.

More quotes by Rajneesh

Image
Begin with dhyana, with meditation, and end in samadhi, in ecstasy, and you will know what God is. It is not a hypothesis, it is an experience. You have to LIVE it - that is the only way to know it.
Rajneesh
Image
NOW is the only reality. All else is either memory or imagination.
Rajneesh
Image
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously then there will not be any darkness.
Rajneesh
Image
God is the collective ego of the world
Rajneesh
Image
Your ego is just an idea implanted in your mind. It is poisonous. Your ego keeps driving you madder and madder.
Rajneesh
Image
Consciousness means choicelessness, and to be choiceless is to be free from all desire, is to be free from all projection, is to be free from all imagination, is to be free from future.
Rajneesh
Image
Creativity means enjoying any work as meditation doing any work with deep love.
Rajneesh
Image
My whole effort here is to keep you as non-serious as possible, for the simple reason that meditation, all kinds of meditation, can make you too serious and that seriousness will create a spiritual disease and nothing else. Unless a meditation brings you more laughter, more joy, more playfulness, avoid it. It is not for you.
Rajneesh
Image
The guru is just trying to help you, to bring you to a point where you can at least surrender the ego. Then a deep ecstasy will happen between you and your master. Wherever there is a `let-go', ecstasy happens - that is the law.
Rajneesh
Image
If you cannot love yourself, you don't know even the taste of love or what love means.
Rajneesh
Image
The West has enough technology, enough science, enough affluence, enough money, but something of the inner is missing. There is no peace, no silence, no joy, no bliss, no meditativeness, no experience of godliness.
Rajneesh
Image
Learn to laugh. Seriousness is a sin, and it is a disease. Laughter has tremendous beauty, a lightness. It will bring lightness to you, and it will give you wings to fly.
Rajneesh
Image
A woman is more humble, more grateful, more loving.
Rajneesh
Image
My meditation is a method of being aware - of whatever you are doing, thinking, feeling.
Rajneesh
Image
No, I don't want to give my people sticks. I want to give them eyes.
Rajneesh
Image
Love is a state of being it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not in love, one is love.
Rajneesh
Image
Why wait for reasons to laugh? Life as it is should be reason enough to laugh. It is so absurd, it is so ridiculous. It is so beautiful, so wonderful! It is all sorts of things together. It is a great cosmic jokŠµ.
Rajneesh
Image
Those otherworldly desires were just as foolish as the worldly desires.
Rajneesh
Image
First meditate, be blissful, then much love will happen of its own accord. Then being with others is beautiful and being alone is also beautiful. Then it is simple, too. You dont depend on others and you dont make others dependent on you.
Rajneesh
Image
If you move in the present moment, the whole eternity is in your hands.
Rajneesh
