The family gives you ambition, and ambition is one of the hindrances for enlightenment. It gives you desires, it gives you a longing to be successful, and all these things create your tensions, your anxieties: how to be a celebrity?

Rajneesh

Rajneesh

Rajneesh

Rajneesh
Eyes which have lost their tears have lost their most beautiful, their most glorious treasure.
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
Anger is fear in disguise.
Rajneesh
Relationship is a mirror.. Every moment the other reveals you, exposes you. The closer the relationship, the clearer is the mirror.
Rajneesh
Vegetarianism functioned as a purification. When you eat animals you are more under the law of necessity. You are heavy, you gravitate more towards the earth. When you are a vegetarian you are light and you are more under the law of grace, under the law of power, and you start gravitating towards the sky.
Rajneesh
Find ecstasy within yourself. It is not out there. It is in your innermost flowering. The one you are looking for is you.
Rajneesh
Once you have tasted meditation, it is impossible for you to be in any misery. Bliss becomes inevitable.
Rajneesh
