Quote

My own observation is: lovers don't surrender to each other, they surrender to something unknown that exists between them. They surrender to love - call it the 'god of love' - they both surrender to the god of love. Hence nobody's ego is fulfilled by your surrender both the egos disappear in love.

Forget the dancer, the center of the ego become the dance. That is meditation.
Rajneesh

I have never been a celibate. If people believe so, that is their foolishness.
Rajneesh

Transcendence of sex is a totally different phenomenon from the suppression of it. But suppression can give you the feeling that you have transcended.
Rajneesh
Image
Love is not a relationship, love is a state of being it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not in love, one is love. And of course when one is love, one is in love – but that is an outcome, a by-product, that is not the source. The source is that one is love.
Rajneesh

Life is not static. If life were static there would be no need for meditation. The mind would do. Then you could think, and whenever, after many lives, you knocked at the door, the girl would be waiting for you. But life is a flux, a movement. Every moment it is changing and becoming new. If you miss a moment, you have missed.

I am less interested in your chain-smoking I am more interested in your habit. Any habit that becomes a force, a dominating force over you, is a sin. One should live more in freedom. One should be able to do things not according to habits but according to the situations.
Rajneesh
Image
The fool knows nothing of God he never comes across anything divine. He remains part of the stupid collectivity. Remember, the society, the collective has no soul the soul belongs to the individual. Hence, those who belong to the collective are destroying every possibility of being souls.
Rajneesh
Image
Being is so significant that it is irreplaceable. You are just yourself. Do something that comes out of you - not to assert, but to express! Sing your song, dance your dance, rejoice in being whatever nature has chosen you to be.
Rajneesh
Image
Knowledge is not information, it's transformation.
Rajneesh
Image
The innermost core is witnessing, awareness, watchfulness. You can call it anything, but it will be another meaning of witnessing. Truth is pure awareness.
Rajneesh
Image
All alternatives are open. Choose to be blissful. And then there are people who can be blissful even when they are imprisoned, and there are people who remain miserable even when they are living in marble palaces. It all depends on you.
Rajneesh
Image
Drop all ideas of achieving in meditation, just do it naturally what happens happens on its own. One day, effortlessly, everything starts happening by itself.
Rajneesh
Image
God is not repetitive His creativity is infinite.
Rajneesh
Image
Love respects the other. It is a give-and-take relationship. Love enjoys giving, and love enjoys taking. It is a sharing, it is a communication. Both are equal in love in a sexual relationship both are not equal. Love has a totally different beauty to it.
Rajneesh
Image
You can change your attachment from this to that, but you will be in misery. Attachment creates misery.
Rajneesh
Image
For a prayer oriented religion the concept of a personal God is needed - to relate to. For meditation-oriented religions God is a useless hypothesis it can be discarded easily into the dustbin. It is not needed.
Rajneesh
Image
When I say be creative I don't mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.
Rajneesh
Image
Choicelessness is the alchemy of transformation, of inner mutation. A new being is born who has nothing to do with the past, who is absolutely discontinuous with the past. He has no desire. And when there is no desire, for the first time you live
Rajneesh
Image
And remember, that is the criterion. If a person can enjoy and celebrate his death, that shows he has lived rightly there is no other criterion. Your death will prove how you have lived.
Rajneesh

Without zest, what is life? Just waiting for death?
