More quotes by Rajneesh
There is no greater magic than meditation. To transform the negative into the positive. To transform darkness into light-that is the miracle of meditation.
Rajneesh
Drop the idea that attachment and love are one thing. They are enemies. It is attachment that destroys all love.
Rajneesh
Existence does not listen to your desires, and does not follow your desires, however beautiful and however pious. Existence goes on in its own way.
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
Start from the body, and then go, slowly slowly, deeper. And don't start with anything else unless you have first solved the primary. If your body is tense, don't start with the mind. Wait. Work on the body. And just small things are of immense help.
Rajneesh
Even trees are creative, rocks are creative. You are man, the very culmination of this existence. You are at the top, you are conscious. Never think with wrong beliefs, and never be attached to wrong beliefs, that you are uncreative.
Rajneesh
Die - you will have to die. But die gracefully. I am not saying die like a stoic, I am not saying die like a very controlled man. No, I'm saying die gracefully, beautifully, as if a friend is coming, knocks at your door, and you are happy. And you embrace the friend and invite him in, and you have been waiting for him so long.
Rajneesh
Anger will come and go and the watcher abides. Sadness comes and passes by and the witness remains
Rajneesh
I say with my own authority that if you go on questioning without accepting anybody's answer, including mine, by and by you will find that the answer is not found but the question disappears.
Rajneesh
Happiness is the death of the ego. If you want to remain a separate entity from existence as almost everybody is trying to do, you will be afraid of being blissful, cheerful. You will feel guilty in being blissful. You will feel suicidal because you are committing suicide on the psychological level, on the level of the ego.
Rajneesh
If you were only to listen, it becomes meditation. Without meditation you cannot hear. What is the meaning of meditation? Meditation exists only where mind is not where the internal dialogue is gone.
Rajneesh
The miserable person is easily enslaved.The cheerful person,the blissful person,cannot be enslaved.
Rajneesh
Unless a man learns how to create, he never becomes a part of existence, which is constantly creative. By being creative one becomes divine creativity is the only prayer.
Rajneesh
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously then there will not be any darkness.
Rajneesh
But there is a world of difference between dancing and watching a dance performed by a group of professionals who are paid for it. You work hard during the day, and when you are tired in the evening you go to a concert to watch others dancing. It is all you can do, but it is not even an apology for celebration.
Rajneesh
If you are absolutely without mind, just pure consciousness, time stops completely, disappears, leaving no trace behind.
Rajneesh
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.
Rajneesh
Misery nourishes your ego - that's why you see so many miserable people in the world. The basic, central point is the ego.
Rajneesh
Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.
Rajneesh
Sannyas is the art of flying... the art that stops the process of gravitation and starts the process of grace. All that is needed is a state of let-go. All that is needed is a readiness to be possessed by the upward dimension, a readiness to open to the sky.
Rajneesh
