Don't choose. If you choose, you will be in the quagmire. Don't choose! A choiceless awareness is the goal. Just remain aloof don't choose. The moment you choose, you have fallen into the trap of the world, or into the trap of the mind.
Rajneesh

More quotes by Rajneesh
Meditation is neither of the body nor of the mind, but belongs to the third within you—your being.
Rajneesh
Once you have known the generosity of existence you will never feel miserable.
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
Mind is memory, not intelligence.
Rajneesh
How can one become enlightened? One can, because one is enlightened - one just has to recognize the fact.
Rajneesh
Mind is the illusion that which is not but appears, and appears so much that you think that you are the mind.
Rajneesh
Knowledge is the barrier to knowing. When knowledge is dropped, knowing flowers.
Rajneesh
Find the light and it will show you the path. The path that is shown by your own light is the only path that is right.
Rajneesh
Belief is a deception you play upon yourself.
Rajneesh
You exist in time, but you belong to eternity.
Rajneesh
Remember, if you have not known sadness together with happiness you have not known anything yet. Then your happiness is superficial your sadness is also superficial. Then you have been living on the surface then you have known only the waves you have not known the depth of the ocean that you are.
Rajneesh
This has to be your first lesson in sannyas: accept yourself, love yourself, drop all guilt, don`t divide yourself. There is nothing higher, nothing lower all of you is divine. The lowest is as divine as the highest.
Rajneesh
Life as such has to be taken as a cosmic joke - and then suddenly you relax because there is nothing to be tense about. And in that very relaxation something starts changing in you - a radical change, a transformation - and the small things of life starts having new meaning, new significance. One learns only one thing, how to rejoice in life.
Rajneesh
Choose one meditation and then put all your effort in it. That effort has to be very regular because will is created only out of regularity. It has to be very persistent and a continuity has to be maintained. Even to miss for one day is to destroy much - and at least one hour every day has to be given to it.
Rajneesh
Meditation is not something you do once and you are done with. It is something that is like breathing, like blood circulating. It is not that once the blood has circulated it is finished, once you breathe there is no more need of it. No, you have to breathe and you have to go on meditating every moment you will need it.
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
What is discipline? Discipline means creating an order within you. As you are, you are a chaos.
Rajneesh
The people who crucified Jesus were not able to see his godliness at all they could only see the mischief in him.
Rajneesh
Every moment you are different because you are not-- and unless you are, the divine cannot happen to you. To whom can it happen? You are not there.
Rajneesh
To be a criminal needs great unconsciousness. Meditation destroys your unconsciousness, opens the doors of light and suddenly what you were doing in the darkness starts disappearing.
Rajneesh
