The West is concentration of the mind: the East is meditation of the mind. The West is thinking: the East is non-thinking. The West is mind: the East is no-mind.

More quotes by Rajneesh
Love is born in sexuality but sexuality is not love. The lotus is born in the mud, but the lotus is not just mud. And if mud remains mud of course there are bound to be tears on the cheeks.
Rajneesh
Remember, meditation will bring you more and more intelligence, infinite intelligence, a radiant intelligence. Meditation will make you more alive and sensitive your life will become richer
Rajneesh
Needs can be fulfilled, desires never. Needs are natural, desires are perverted.
Rajneesh
Mind is a crowd of many desires it is not a single desire. Mind is multi-psychic, and all the fragments are falling apart in different directions. It is a miracle how we go on keeping ourselves together it is a hard struggle to keep oneself together. Somehow we manage, but that togetherness remains only on the surface. Deep down there is turmoil.
Rajneesh
Your religions are boring you, your philosophies are boring you, your scriptures are boring you. Thousands of years of the past are the cause of your boredom. You cannot dance - you are chained to the past, you are imprisoned in the past.
Rajneesh
Because of Christianity the West has missed many things, and one of them is meditation, the rarest flowering of a human being, because they have made it equivalent to contemplation. Contemplation is thinking. Meditation is no-thinking.
Rajneesh
The perfectionist is another name for someone who is getting ready to become mad.
Rajneesh
Find godliness and good will come on its own accord. And when good comes on its own accord, it has a beauty, a grace, a simplicity, a humbleness.
Rajneesh
Once you have known the generosity of existence you will never feel miserable.
Rajneesh
Mind is knowledge, meditation is non-knowledge. Mind knows, meditation experiences. Mind can only give you a certain acquaintance but not the taste. If you want the taste of the Tao you have to move to no-mind, to Meditation.
Rajneesh
Your real being only flowers with unconditional love. Ambition is against love. Anything that is against love is against you and your real life.
Rajneesh
Die each moment so that you are renewed each moment.
Rajneesh
Even trees are creative, rocks are creative. You are man, the very culmination of this existence. You are at the top, you are conscious. Never think with wrong beliefs, and never be attached to wrong beliefs, that you are uncreative.
Rajneesh
People can live tremendously rich, blissful, ecstatic lives. But the first thing is, we have to accept our responsibility.
Rajneesh
Meditation means to be in non-doing. Meditation is not a doing but a state of being. It is a state of being in one's own self.
Rajneesh
Here, fire turns into water Here, the dancing of the rain declares the sun. There's no opposition in existence, no contradiction Everything supports everything else.
Rajneesh
Don't call it uncertainty-call it wonder.
Rajneesh
If you go on condemning, your condemnation shows that somewhere there is a wound, and you are feeling jealous - because without jealousy there can be no condemnation. You condemn people because somehow, somewhere, unconsciously you feel they are enjoying themselves and you have missed.
Rajneesh
Love is the goal, life is the journey.
Rajneesh
So I am not teaching you to be good, I am not teaching you to be bad I am teaching you only to be whole. To be whole is to be healthy and to be healthy is to be holy.
Rajneesh
