More quotes by Rajneesh
Meditation is not doing anything directly to your violence, not doing anything to your jealousy, to your hate. It is simply brining light into your house, and the darkness disappears.
Rajneesh
Every child is so helpless - just to survive he has to be political, he has to accept whatsoever the parents are saying.
Rajneesh
Seriousness is a sickness... Existense is pure playfulness
Rajneesh
Everybody knows from his own experience that after laughter, good laughter, a belly laugh, you almost feel that you have taken an ice-cold shower a peace, a silence, a freshness... The same is true about crying, but very few people know the secret of crying because it is more repressed than laughter.
Rajneesh
The sannyasin knows what it means to be an emperor, because he simply gives he enjoys giving, he loves sharing. And the miracle of life is: the more you give the more you have.
Rajneesh
The perfectionist is bound to be a neurotic, he cannot enjoy life, until he is perfect. And perfection as such never happens, it is not in the nature of things. Totality is possible, perfection is not possible.
Rajneesh
Only disciplined people become free, but their discipline is not obedience to others: their discipline is obedience to their own inner voice. And they are ready to risk anything for it.
Rajneesh
The experience of bliss will give you an insight into the very phenomenon of beauty. Not only does it make you beautiful, it suddenly transforms the whole world. The whole world becomes beautiful because the world reflects you, it is a mirror.
Rajneesh
That's why children look so beautiful because they are yet full of hope, full of dreams, and they have not yet known frustration.
Rajneesh
Meditation is to get out of your psychosis and to get out of your neurosis it is simply to slip out of them.
Rajneesh
It is a way to avoid difficulties, but whenever you avoid difficulties and challenges you have avoided growth also. Married people never grow. Lovers grow, because they have to meet the challenge every moment - and with no security. They have to create an inner phenomenon. With security you need not bother to create anything the society helps.
Rajneesh
Will power is nothing but another name of ego power. A man of wisdom has no will, just as he has no mind - because to will means to keep yourself separate from existence. It is a little subtle, but try to feel it. The moment you will it means you are always willing against things as they are. You want them to be some other way.
Rajneesh
Repressed anger becomes a temporary madness. Something happens which is beyond your control. If you could have controlled, you would have controlled it still -- but suddenly it was overflowing. Suddenly it was beyond you. You couldn't do anything, you felt helpless -- and it came out. Such a person may not be angry, but he moves and lives in anger.
Rajneesh
You will not become dependent on the people you love. You will share - and sharing is beautiful.
Rajneesh
Through meditation one has to achieve a dreamless sleep with full alertness. Once this happens, the drop falls into the ocean and becomes the ocean.
Rajneesh
How can one become enlightened in one single moment? One can, because one is enlightened -- one just has to recognize the fact. It is not something that happens from the outside, it is something that arises from the inside. It has always been there but you were clouded, you were full of thoughts.
Rajneesh
There is no need to be more - you are enough. Everybody is enough.
Rajneesh
The serious person becomes handicapped, he creates barriers. He cannot dance, he cannot sing, he cannot celebrate. The very dimension of celebration disappears from his life. He becomes desert-like. And if you are a desert, you can go on thinking and pretending that you are religious but you are not.
Rajneesh
It's not a question of learning much.On the contrary.It's a question of UNLEARNING much.' Osho
Rajneesh
[M]ental peace is not meditation. Meditation is the flight beyond the mind. It has nothing to do with mental peace.
Rajneesh
