Quote

The ego is goal-oriented. The ego is hankering for the future. It can hanker even for the other life, it can hanker for heaven, it can hanker for nirvana. It doesn`t matter what it hankers for - hankering is what it is, desiring is what it is, projecting into the future is what it is.

Buddah says once you understand that you are lost and you have to find your own way and there is no help coming, you become responsible. Prayer is irresponsible. To pray is just to avoid responsibility, to pray is to be lazy. To pray is just an escape. Buddha says effort is needed. It is an insult to pray.

Do the small things of life with a relaxed awareness. When you are eating, eat totally - chew totally, taste totally, smell totally. Touch your bread, feel the texture. Smell the bread, smell the flavor. Chew it, let it dissolve into your being.
Rajneesh

The heart is always right - if there's a question of choosing between the mind and the heart - because mind is a creation of society. It has been educated. You have been given it by society, not by existence. The heart is unpolluted.

Rajneesh

Nothing has to be changed, because all is beautiful - that is enlightenment. All is as it should be, everything is perfect. This is the most perfect world, this moment lacks nothing - the experience of this is what enlightenment is.
Rajneesh

God is nothing but creativity. So wherever there is a sign of creativity, God has a signature there. He has already been there. Maybe even the poet does not know, but he has been touched by something from the beyond.
Rajneesh

Bravery does not mean being fearless. It means to be full of fear but still not being dominated by it.
Rajneesh
Image
You will not become dependent on the people you love. You will share - and sharing is beautiful.
Rajneesh

Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance.
Rajneesh
Image
Here, fire turns into water Here, the dancing of the rain declares the sun. There's no opposition in existence, no contradiction Everything supports everything else.
Rajneesh
Image
Tantra is the science of transforming ordinary lovers into soul mates. And that is the grandeur of Tantra. It can transform the whole earth it can transform each couple into soul mates.
Rajneesh

The real religion is not imitation of anybody else, it is a search to find out your own authentic self, who you are.

Love is the goal, life is the journey.
