Quote

First you have to do all that you can do, and then you have to learn non-doing. The doing of the non-doing is the greatest doing, and the effort of effortlessness is the greatest effort.

The technique of positive thinking is not a technique that transforms you. It is simply repressing the negative aspects of your personality. It is a method of choice. It cannot help awareness it goes against awareness. Awareness is always choiceless.
Rajneesh
Image
Find godliness and good will come on its own accord. And when good comes on its own accord, it has a beauty, a grace, a simplicity, a humbleness.
Rajneesh
Image
Watch,witness,observe your thoughts-without any judgement,without any condemnation or evaluation.
Rajneesh
Image
Remember: ego can create misery, ego can create anguish, ego can create hate, ego can create jealousy. Ego can never become a vehicle for the divine, it can never become the passage for the beyond.
Rajneesh

To me a man of meditation is bound to be immensely loving.
Rajneesh
Image
Be a witness of sex too. Don't be the controller of it. Don't try to forcibly bring it under control, remain a witness of it too. Just as you are a witness of everything else, remain a witness of sex too.
Rajneesh

What I am teaching is religiousness, a quality. Religion is a dead dogma, fixed principles, frozen fossils. What I am teaching to you is a living, flowing religiousness - an experience like love.
Rajneesh
Image
Responsibility is awareness, alertness, consciousness. Ego is just unconsciousness. They cannot coexist. As you grow more conscious you grow more towards light, and anything belonging to the world of darkness starts disappearing. Ego is nothing but darkness.
Rajneesh
Image
Death is more important than life. Life is just the trivial, just the superficial death is deeper. Through death you grow to the real life, and through life you only reach death and nothing else.
Rajneesh
Image
Witnessing can be called the seed and enlightenment can be called the flowers. But begin from witnessing, and then it starts growing. Go on nourishing it, go on caring for it, go on watering it, strengthen it in every possible way - and one day it is going to blossom. That day will be the greatest day of your life.
Rajneesh
Image
Laughter relaxes. And relaxation is spiritual.
Rajneesh
Image
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
Image
My meditation is not something separate from life, it is something that has to be spread all over life.
Rajneesh
Image
The ego does not, cannot live in the present, because the present is real and the ego is false - they never meet.
Rajneesh
Image
Your ego is just an idea implanted in your mind. It is poisonous. Your ego keeps driving you madder and madder.
Rajneesh
Image
With me, illusions are bound to be shattered. I am here to shatter all illusions. Yes, it will irritate you, it will annoy you - that's my way of functioning and working. I will sabotage you from your very roots! Unless you are totally destroyed as a mind, there is no hope for you.
Rajneesh
Image
Surrender is just like love. That's why I say only lovers can become sannyasins - because they know a little of how to surrender. Love is the first step towards the divine, surrender is the last. And two steps is the whole journey.
Rajneesh
Image
Destroying something, any idiot can do. Creating needs intelligence.
Rajneesh

Your absence is the presence of godliness.

When movement becomes ecstatic, then this is dance. When the movement is so total there is no ego, then it is dance.
