Only an acceptance of both the flowers and the thorns can bring you peace. Peace, after all, is the fruit of total acceptance.

More quotes by Rajneesh
Religion can be condensed in a single phrase: total freedom to be oneself.
Rajneesh
If you live with unhealthy people, to be healthy is dangerous. If you live with insane people, then to be sane is dangerous. If you live in a madhouse, even if you are not mad at least pretend that you are mad otherwise those mad people will kill you.
Rajneesh
It has happened, women have helped their husbands, sacrificed their whole lives, never thought about themselves. Their surrender, their devotion to their lovers has been total. In this totality, they have achieved before their lover has.
Rajneesh
The ego and the personality have to be dropped, then you will find individuality arising...a feeling of uniqueness. Yes, you are unique. Everybody else is also unique. In this world only unique people exist, so comparison is just stupid, because you alone are like yourself. There is nobody like you, so how to compare?
Rajneesh
Life should be a continual celebration, a festival of lights the whole year round. Only then can you grow up, can you blossom.
Rajneesh
This is the secret, THE secret ... De-automatize.
Rajneesh
To come across a Master and to miss the Master is the greatest accident, very unfortunate, that can happen to a man.
Rajneesh
Drop the fear. Fear was taken up by you in your childhood, unconsciously. Now consciously drop it and be mature. Then the life can be a light which goes on deepening as you go on growing.
Rajneesh
I'll never make any resolutions. Drop all resolutions! Let life be a natural spontaneity. The only golden rule is that there are no golden rules.
Rajneesh
Why do you dream? - because there are so many desires unfulfilled, and to live with unfulfilled desires is painful. In dream you try to fulfill them in dream you create a false feeling of fulfillment. Hence your dreams show much about you: what your desires are, what you want to become. But if you want to become anything in life, you are asleep.
Rajneesh
Mind is the illusion that which is not but appears, and appears so much that you think that you are the mind.
Rajneesh
The parents, the society, the state, the church, the educational system, they all depend on lies. As the child is born they start trapping it into lies. And the child is helpless. He cannot escape his parents, he is utterly dependent. You can exploit his dependence...and it has been exploited down the ages.
Rajneesh
Here, fire turns into water Here, the dancing of the rain declares the sun. There's no opposition in existence, no contradiction Everything supports everything else.
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
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
To me there is nothing more sacred than love and laughter, and there is nothing more prayerful than playfulness.
Rajneesh
There is no need to be more - you are enough. Everybody is enough.
Rajneesh
Mind is a crowd of many desires it is not a single desire. Mind is multi-psychic, and all the fragments are falling apart in different directions. It is a miracle how we go on keeping ourselves together it is a hard struggle to keep oneself together. Somehow we manage, but that togetherness remains only on the surface. Deep down there is turmoil.
Rajneesh
A man who can do everything fully consciously becomes a luminous phenomenon. He is all light, and his whole life is full of fragrance and flowers. The mechanical man lives in dark holes, dirty holes. He does not know the world of light he is like a blind man. The man of watchfulness is really the man who has eyes.
Rajneesh
Rajneeshism is creating a Noahs Ark of consciousness, remaining centered exactly in the middle of the cyclone. You can only escape within, and thats what I teach. I do not teach worship of God or any other ritual but only a scientific way of coming to your innermost core.
Rajneesh
