Freedom is a ladder: one side of the ladder reaches hell, the other side touches heaven. It is the same ladder the choice is yours.

More quotes by Rajneesh
I am not against marriage - without marriage, ninety-nine percent jokes will disappear from the world. How I can be against marriage? I am all for it.
Rajneesh
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
A life of both sadness and blissfulness is multi-dimensional it moves in all dimensions together. Watch the statue of Buddha or sometimes look into my eyes and you will find both together - a blissfulness, a peace, a sadness also.
Rajneesh
A mature mind is one who understands the impossibility of knowing the ultimate, and with this understanding there is a new dimension: the dimension of being.
Rajneesh
Creativity means enjoying any work as meditation doing any work with deep love.
Rajneesh
You will find meaning in life only if you create it.It is a poetry to be composed. It is a song to be sung.It is a dance to be danced.
Rajneesh
If you find a saint who has no sense of humour, then he is not a saint at all. Impossible. His very seriousness says that he has not achieved. Once you have some inner experiences of your own you become very playful, you become very innocent, childlike.
Rajneesh
When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised.
Rajneesh
Awareness is an inner quality of consciousness it has nothing to do with closed or open eyes.
Rajneesh
Love never hurts anybody. And if you feel you have been hurt by love, it is something else in you, not your loving quality that feels hurt.
Rajneesh
That's what I call meditation. You simply stand aloof and just see the mind disappearing, like a cloud on a faraway horizon, leaving the sky clean and pure. And in that state arises your consciousness in its full glory, in its full celebration.
Rajneesh
Never obey anyone's command unless it is coming from within you also.
Rajneesh
When you become centered, suddenly there is great freedom because you know you are not the mind and you are not the body.
Rajneesh
In the East all the religions preach egolessness. So in the East everybody is against the ego from the very beginning. Because of this anti attitude, ego never becomes strong, never comes to a point of integration from where it can be thrown. It is never ripe. So in the East it is very difficult to dissolve the ego, almost impossible.
Rajneesh
A man who loves himself takes the first step towards real love.
Rajneesh
You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty.
Rajneesh
The fundamental thing is to drop the split, to become one. Be one, and then all else is possible even the impossible is possible.
Rajneesh
Don't cling to anything. Clinging is the cause of our being unconscious.
Rajneesh
The very essence of meditation is to be so silent that there is no stirring of thoughts in you, that words don't come between you and reality, that the whole net of words falls down, that you are left alone. This aloneness, this purity, this unclouded sky of your being is meditation.
Rajneesh
Why is it so? If live is a gift, all that belongs to and is intrinsic to life is going to be a gift. You can wait for it, you can be receptive to it, you can remain in a surrendered mood, waiting, patient, but you cannot demand, and you cannot force.
Rajneesh
