More quotes by Rajneesh
Walk, but make walking a meditation walk knowingly Breathe, but let your breathing become a constant meditation breathe knowingly. The breath going in: watch it. The breath going out: watch it. Eat, but eat with full awareness. Take a bite, chew it, but go on watching. Let the watcher be there in every moment, whatsoever you are doing.
Rajneesh
Without possessions, success, fame who are you?
Rajneesh
Illusions are bound to be shattered
Rajneesh
Advice is like food, and teaching is a menu.
Rajneesh
Meditate, become more aware and then you will see: choices disappear, a choicelessness arises. And it is such a tremendous joy to have a choiceless spontaneity. It is such a freedom. Choice is such a burden.
Rajneesh
Destroying something, any idiot can do. Creating needs intelligence.
Rajneesh
Jesus moved in a very poor world. People were seeking their own solutions. Many were helped - not that Jesus was helping - they were helped. And Jesus says again and again: It is your faith that has healed you. When you have faith, compassion can pour into you. When you have faith, you are open to compassion.
Rajneesh
When all the faces have been rejected and emptiness is left, you have found the original face. Emptiness is the original face. Zero is the ultimate experience. Nothingness - or more accurately NO-THINGNESS - is your original face.
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
Unless you drop your personality you will not be able to find your individuality. Individuality is given by existence personality is imposed by the society.
Rajneesh
It is the deep urge to be one with the whole, the deep urge to dissolve I and thou into one unity. Love is that because we are separated from our own source, out of that separation the desire arises to fall back into the whole, to become one with it.
Rajneesh
Zen people love Buddha so tremendously that they can even play jokes upon him. It is out of great love they are not afraid.
Rajneesh
This is the sleep: being absent, being not present to the present moment, being somewhere else.
Rajneesh
To me there is nothing more sacred than love and laughter, and there is nothing more prayerful than playfulness.
Rajneesh
Try vegetarianism and you will be surprised: meditation becomes far easier. Love becomes more subtle, loses its grossness — becomes more sensitive but less sensuous, becomes more prayerful and less sexual. And your body also starts taking on a different vibe. You become more graceful, softer, more feminine, less aggressive, more receptive.
Rajneesh
Love can make a great celebration out of your life - but only love, not lust, not ego, not possessiveness, not jealousy, not dependence.
Rajneesh
Those who miss meditation miss the whole dance of life.
Rajneesh
My own observation is: lovers don't surrender to each other, they surrender to something unknown that exists between them. They surrender to love - call it the 'god of love' - they both surrender to the god of love. Hence nobody's ego is fulfilled by your surrender both the egos disappear in love.
Rajneesh
The ego does not, cannot live in the present, because the present is real and the ego is false - they never meet.
Rajneesh
I love, because my love is not dependent on the object of love. My love is dependent on my state of being. So whether the other person changes, becomes different, friend turns into a foe, does not matter, because my love was never dependent on the other person. My love is my state of being. I simply love.
Rajneesh
