Your desires are immense, almost infinite. Because of your desires life becomes a competition, and wherever there is competition, there is anxiety and angst and at the end everybody is aware deep down there is death.
Rajneesh

More quotes by Rajneesh
From birth to death you go on living, groping in darkness with no light - and you could have created the light. You cannot find it in the scriptures nobody can hand it to you. It is not purchased or sold it is nontransferable. But you can create it - you can put all your energies together. You can start living consciously from this very moment.
Rajneesh
Celebration never need depend on outside circumstances. We need not wait for a special holiday or a formal occasion, nor a sunny and cloudless day. True celebration arises from a joy that is first experienced deep within, and spills over into an overflow of song and dance and laughter, and yes, even tears of gratitude.
Rajneesh
Who am I? is not really a question because it has no answer to it it is unanswerable. It is a device, not a question.
Rajneesh
Marriage is very secure. It is safe. There is no growth in it. One is simply stuck. Marriage is a sexual arrangement intimacy is a search for love. Marriage is a sort of prostitution, a permanent sort. One has got married to a woman or to a man - it is a permanent prostitution. The arrangement is economical, not psychological, not of the heart.
Rajneesh
The more meditation goes deep, the more you will become master of your own thoughts. You will say, Stop! and the mind stops. You will say, Move! and the mind begins to move. Once this capacity comes to you, you will not fall down again. Unless this is achieved, if you discontinue meditation, soon every result will be washed away.
Rajneesh
Whatsoever you hide goes on growing, and whatsoever you expose, if it is wrong it disappears, evaporates in the sun, and if it is right it is nourished.
Rajneesh
The whole existence is a temple...the trees are continously in worship, the clouds are in prayer and the mountains are in meditation.
Rajneesh
Each individual`s way is going to be different. Never follow anybody. That is the greatest calamity that can happen to a man. Once you start following somebody else, you become a carbon copy. You become an imitation.
Rajneesh
If you meditate, sooner or later you will come upon love. If you meditate deeply, sooner or later you will start feeling a tremendous love arising in you that you have never known before.
Rajneesh
There is great difference between trust and belief. Trust is personal, Belief is social.
Rajneesh
The fundamental thing is to drop the split, to become one. Be one, and then all else is possible even the impossible is possible.
Rajneesh
Watch, witness. Your body is not you your mind is not you. You are just a pure witness.
Rajneesh
A witnessing consciousness lives in life but with tremendous non-attachment, with great non-possessiveness it possesses nothing. It lives totally, it lives passionately, but still knowing that I don't possess anything.
Rajneesh
In the East, all the religions preach egolessness. So in the East, everybody is against the ego from the very beginning.
Rajneesh
In life you may be poor or rich, but death is the great equalizer. The greatest communism is in death. Howsoever you live, it makes no difference death happens equally. In life, equality is impossible in death, inequality is impossible. Become aware of it, contemplate it.
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
My love is unconditional. Your action is irrelevant.
Rajneesh
A mature mind is one who understands the impossibility of knowing the ultimate, and with this understanding there is a new dimension: the dimension of being.
Rajneesh
The innocence of children is their wisdom, the simplicity of children is their egolessness. The freshness of the child is the freshness of your consciousness, which never becomes old, which always remains young.
Rajneesh
Hence my insistence that music and meditation should go together. That adds a new dimension to both. Both are enriched by it.
Rajneesh
