Quote

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.

Image
Bravery does not mean being fearless. It means to be full of fear but still not being dominated by it.
Rajneesh
Image
Zen is the most scientific method to inquire into your consciousness. It takes you beyond mind into a space called no-mind. No self, but pure awareness, and you have a taste of eternity and immortality.
Rajneesh
Image
Anger will come and go and the watcher abides. Sadness comes and passes by and the witness remains
Rajneesh
Image
Even great travelers of the inner world have got stuck in beautiful experiences, and have become identified with those experiences, thinking, I have found myself. They have stopped before reaching the final stage where all experiences disappear. Enlightenment is not an experience.
Rajneesh
Image
The moment you go in, all connections with the outside world are broken all bridges are broken. In fact, the whole world disappears.
Rajneesh
Image
Those otherworldly desires were just as foolish as the worldly desires.
Rajneesh
Image
Mind is the absence of meditation. The moment meditation arises in you, mind is found nowhere.
Rajneesh
Image
When there is no mind, you are in yoga when there is mind you are not in yoga. So you may do all the postures, but if the mind goes on functioning, if you go on thinking, you are not in yoga.
Rajneesh
Image
Destroying something, any idiot can do. Creating needs intelligence.
Rajneesh
Image
People have judged you you have accepted their idea without any scrutiny. And you are suffering from all kinds of people's judgments, and you are throwing those judgments on other people. And this game has become out of proportion. The whole humanity is suffering from it. If you want to get out of it, the first thing is: Don't judge yourself.
Rajneesh
Image
There is no sorrow except in captivity.
Rajneesh
Image
To me there is nothing more sacred than love and laughter, and there is nothing more prayerful than playfulness.
Rajneesh
Image
The only way to know something absolutely is to experience it for yourself anything less is theory, speculation, and belief. .
Rajneesh
Image
For a prayer oriented religion the concept of a personal God is needed - to relate to. For meditation-oriented religions God is a useless hypothesis it can be discarded easily into the dustbin. It is not needed.
Rajneesh
Image
The word devil is very beautiful, if you read it backwards it becomes lived.
Rajneesh
Image
Ego cannot bring anything extraordinary into the world the extraordinary comes only through egolessness. And so is the case with the musician and the poet and the dancer. So is the case with everybody.
Rajneesh
Image
Misery is nothing but the shadow of attachment. And hence all stagnancy. The attached person becomes a stagnant pool - sooner or later he will stink. He flows no more.
Rajneesh
Image
Whatsoever you are doing, be absorbed in it so utterly that the mind thinks nothing, is just there, is just a presence. And more and more totality will be coming.
Rajneesh
Image
Meditation is not of the body, not of the mind, not of the soul. Meditation simply means your body, your mind, your soul, all functioning in such a harmony, in such wholeness, humming so beautifully... that they are in a melody, they are one. Your whole being - body, mind, soul - is involved in meditation.
Rajneesh

Marriage is an institution that teaches a man regularity, frugality, temperance, forbearance and many other splendid virtues he would not need had he stayed single.
