If you have found your truth within yourself there is nothing more in this whole existence to find.
Rajneesh
When you listen with perfect awareness, then listening becomes possible.
Rajneesh
As you are now you are just a liquid phenomenon, changing every moment, nothing stable. Really you cannot claim any I -- you don't have one. You are many Is just in a flow, a riverlike flow. You are a crowd, not an individual yet. But meditation can make you an individual.
Rajneesh
Logic ridicules love, and love smiles knowingly at the whole foolishness of logic.
Rajneesh
Meditation, witnessing, silently sitting and looking at the mind, will be of much help. Not forcing, simply sitting and looking. Not doing much, just watching as one watches birds flying in the sky. Just Lying down on the ground and watching, nothing to do, indifferent. Not your concern really, where they are going they are going on their own.
Rajneesh
Tomorrow-drop that word from your vocabulary! Tomorrow does not exist, it cannot exist: it is not in the nature of things. Only this day exists.
Rajneesh
Celebration is my attitude, unconditional to what life brings.
Rajneesh
Without Jesus they were the great priests of the temple with Jesus suddenly they were nobodies. In the presence of Jesus there was God himself and all the priests felt their glory had been taken away.
Rajneesh
Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.
Rajneesh
Meditation is not growth of the ego, it is death of the ego.
Rajneesh
Without love a man is just a body, an empty temple without the deity. With love the deity arrives, the temple is no more empty. That's why love gives such fullness, such deep contentment, such tremendously overflowing joy. Remain in love and let love be the door to the divine.
Rajneesh
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance.
Rajneesh
I am not against marriage - without marriage, ninety-nine percent jokes will disappear from the world. How I can be against marriage? I am all for it.
Rajneesh
I love, because my love is not dependent on the object of love. My love is dependent on my state of being. So whether the other person changes, becomes different, friend turns into a foe, does not matter, because my love was never dependent on the other person. My love is my state of being. I simply love.
Rajneesh
The witnessing soul is like the sky. The birds fly in the sky but they don't leave any footprints....[The] man who is awakened lives in such a way that he leaves no footprints.... He never looks ahead, he never looks back, he lives in the moment.
Rajneesh
Just your laughter will be enough to prevent the war. Your celebration, your dance, will be enough to prevent the war. Your ecstasy, your meditation, will create a tremendous force which will be far higher because it is life-affirmative.
Rajneesh
Mind is just in the middle. You are nothing but a mess. If you can go beyond it, intelligence grows in you if you go below it, any intelligence that you had disappears.
Rajneesh
The more mind is filled with chattering, more sex has appeal.
Rajneesh
Only an acceptance of both the flowers and the thorns can bring you peace. Peace, after all, is the fruit of total acceptance.
Rajneesh
Through true love, you touch inner completeness.
Rajneesh
