More quotes by Rajneesh
If you are courageous, listen to the heart. If you are a coward, listen to the head.
Rajneesh
Only very few people are born with awareness. Those are the people who die in awareness. If the death was conscious, then the birth will be conscious, because the death is the one side and the birth is the other side of the same coin.
Rajneesh
This art of participating in happiness is one of the foundations if you want to be happy.
Rajneesh
One just needs a little alertness to see and find out: Life is really a great cosmic laughter.
Rajneesh
If you go on loving a person deeply, by and by sex disappears. Intimacy becomes so fulfilling, then there is no need for sex love is enough unto itself. When that moment comes then there is the possibility of prayer dawning upon you.
Rajneesh
Freedom is the basic thing. Consciousness grows in freedom and starts dying, becomes paralyzed and crippled, when things are forced. And up to now, this has been done. This is the greatest crime that parents have always committed against children. They go on forcing the child.
Rajneesh
[M]ental peace is not meditation. Meditation is the flight beyond the mind. It has nothing to do with mental peace.
Rajneesh
This word 'individual' is beautiful it means indivisible. Right now as you are, you are divided. You are only many fragments clinging together anyhow without any center being there, without any master in the house, with only servants. And for a moment any servant can become the master.
Rajneesh
The only thing that matters in life, is your own opinion about yourself.
Rajneesh
Art for art's sake, and creation for creation's sake, and love for love's sake
Rajneesh
Happiness is an art that one has to learn. It has nothing to do with your doing or not doing.
Rajneesh
In the name of celibacy, sex has been repressed for centuries and you have become just full of sexuality. Rather than transcending it you are boiling within.
Rajneesh
Once two persons are tied together freedom is lost and anger arises. When freedom is lost everything becomes ugly. Love means that freedom remains intact: marriage means that freedom has been dropped. You have bargained for permanence, for security, and you have paid for it with freedom.
Rajneesh
When you feel angry, there is no need to be angry against someone just be angry. Let it be a meditation. Close the room, sit by yourself, and let the anger come up as much as it can. If you feel like beating, beat a pillow.
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
A Zen master used to say, It is clear and so it is hard to see. A dunce once searched for a fire with a lighted lantern. Had he known what fire was, he could have cooked his rice much sooner.
Rajneesh
The moment you go in, all connections with the outside world are broken all bridges are broken. In fact, the whole world disappears.
Rajneesh
A man becomes a Buddha the moment he accepts all that life brings with gratitude.
Rajneesh
'What is celebration?' Rather than dancing, rather than laughing, rather than loving, rather than enjoying this silence, the mind asks: 'What is celebration?'
Rajneesh
Meditation, witnessing, silently sitting and looking at the mind, will be of much help. Not forcing, simply sitting and looking. Not doing much, just watching as one watches birds flying in the sky. Just Lying down on the ground and watching, nothing to do, indifferent. Not your concern really, where they are going they are going on their own.
Rajneesh
