The mind is the world and the no-mind is freedom from the world. The mind is misery and no-mind is the end of misery and the beginning of ecstasy.

More quotes by Rajneesh
Truth cannot be defined, although it can certainly be experienced. But experience is not a definition. A definition is made by the mind, experience comes through participating. If somebody asks, What is a dance? how can you define it? But you can dance and you can know the inner feel of it. God is the ultimate dance.
Rajneesh
All our attachments are outward oriented and hence this illusion.
Rajneesh
Those who miss meditation miss the whole dance of life.
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
Just look at life with more playful eyes. Don't be serious. Seriousness becomes like a blindness. Don't pretend to be a thinker, a philosopher. Just simply be a human being. The whole world is showering its joy on you in so many ways, but if you are too serious, you cannot open your heart.
Rajneesh
Thinking goes on in your head. It is not really deep into the roots of your being it is not your totality.
Rajneesh
To me there is nothing more sacred than love and laughter, and there is nothing more prayerful than playfulness.
Rajneesh
And remember, that is the criterion. If a person can enjoy and celebrate his death, that shows he has lived rightly there is no other criterion. Your death will prove how you have lived.
Rajneesh
God has a tremendous sense of humor! Religion remains something dead without a sense of humor as a foundation to it. God would not have been able to create the world if he had no sense of humor. God is not serious at all. Seriousness is a state of disease humor is health. Love, laughter, life, they are aspects of the same energy.
Rajneesh
Ecstasy is our very nature, not to be ecstatic is simply unnecessary. To be ecstatic is natural, spontaneous. It needs no effort to be ecstatic, it needs great effort to be miserable. That's why you look so tired, because misery is real hard work to maintain it is really difficult, because you are doing something against the nature.
Rajneesh
Your life sparks fires from within your innermost temple. No one can reach there but you, it is your inner sanctum. You are your own master there, only you can reach and ignite the fire.
Rajneesh
Life is happiness and unhappiness. Life is day and night, life is life and death. You have to be aware of both.
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
The future of humanity will move closer and closer toward the approach of Zen, because the meeting of the East and West is possible only through something like Zen, which is earthly and yet unearthly.
Rajneesh
How does one earn innocence? - by learning from frustration, by going deep into frustrations and realizing the fact that each frustration is an outcome of a certain dream. If you don`t want frustrations, drop dreaming. Life is not frustrating, dreaming is frustrating.
Rajneesh
Awareness means you come with an inner light, you move fully alert. Each step is taken in awareness - the walking, the coming, the sitting - everything is done in full awareness.
Rajneesh
Anywhere everywhere! Anything anyhow! just dance!
Rajneesh
Happy people continuously change and because they change they become more and more happy and then more and more change is possible.
Rajneesh
Love respects the other. It is a give-and-take relationship. Love enjoys giving, and love enjoys taking. It is a sharing, it is a communication. Both are equal in love in a sexual relationship both are not equal. Love has a totally different beauty to it.
Rajneesh
Happiness happens when you fit with your life, when you fit so harmoniously that whatsoever you are doing is your joy. Then suddenly you will come to know: meditation follows you. If you love the work that you are doing, if you love the way you are living, then you are meditative.
Rajneesh
