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.

More quotes by Rajneesh
Only man has become an outsider - and because of his own efforts. On his own, he has separated himself from existence.
Rajneesh
Nobody is here to fulfill your dream. Everybody is here to fulfill his own destiny, his own reality.
Rajneesh
To me, man means awareness of death. I am not saying become afraid of death that is not awareness. Just be aware of the fact that death is coming nearer and nearer and you have to be prepared for it.
Rajneesh
The inner emptiness is the door to God.
Rajneesh
Death is the greatest illusion of all.
Rajneesh
Each moment brings new surprises to the one who has no expectations, who comes with an absolutely open mind. Then incredible things start happening. Even if you had wanted them you could not have expected them you could not have found yourself worthy enough to expect them.
Rajneesh
Nobody can teach you love. Love you have to find yourself, within your being, by raising your consciousness to higher levels.
Rajneesh
NOW is the only reality. All else is either memory or imagination.
Rajneesh
Only people who want to be somewhere, somebody, have to suffer the sadness of failure. But a person who never wants to be anybody, never wants to be anywhere else, cannot suffer the sadness of failure - he is always successful, just like me.
Rajneesh
Right awareness is awareness of one's own being in its totality: all that is good and all that is bad. But as you become aware, the bad starts disappearing - just as when you bring light into the room, the darkness disappears. When light is in the room, darkness cannot exist there. Sin is darkness, forgetfulness, unconsciousness.
Rajneesh
Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. . . . Easy is right means natural is right, effortlessness is right, egolessness is right.
Rajneesh
My meditation is a method of being aware - of whatever you are doing, thinking, feeling.
Rajneesh
There is nothing ugly about death but man, out of his fear, has made even the word, death ugly and unutterable. People don't like to talk about it. They won't even listen to the word death.
Rajneesh
There is no greater magic than meditation. To transform the negative into the positive. To transform darkness into light-that is the miracle of meditation.
Rajneesh
A Zen master used to say, It is clear and so it is hard to see. A dunce once searched for a fire with a lighted lantern. Had he known what fire was, he could have cooked his rice much sooner.
Rajneesh
Take hold of your own life. See that the whole existence is celebrating. These trees are not serious, these birds are not serious. The rivers and the oceans are wild, and everywhere there is fun, everywhere there is joy and delight. Watch existence, listen to the existence and become part of it.
Rajneesh
If you move in the present moment, the whole eternity is in your hands.
Rajneesh
As the witnessing deepens, you start becoming drunk with the divine. This is what is called ecstasy.
Rajneesh
There is no one lonelier than God!
Rajneesh
There is no separate art of life. If you know how to allow poetry, if you know how to allow dance, if you know how to allow love - if you know how to ALLOW, then you know the art of life. In the allowing, in the let-go, in the surrender, is the art of life. How not to be and to let God be - that is the only art of life.
Rajneesh
