And remember, that is the criterion. If a person can enjoy and celebrate his death, that shows he has lived rightly there is no other criterion. Your death will prove how you have lived.

More quotes by Rajneesh
Find the light and it will show you the path. The path that is shown by your own light is the only path that is right.
Rajneesh
In meditation you are not unconscious, you are conscious - more conscious than ever.
Rajneesh
Everybody is born with the capacity to enjoy, but not with the art. People think just because they are alive and they breathe and they exist, they know how to enjoy. That is sheer stupidity. Enjoyment is a great art, it is a great discipline. It is as subtle a discipline as music or poetry or painting. It is the greatest creativity.
Rajneesh
Zen is not a philosophy, it is poetry. It does not propose, it simply persuades. It does not argue, it simply sings its own song.
Rajneesh
Be open, and God starts pouring into you like wine from every nook and corner of existence. Then wherever you look, you find God. Then whatsoever you touch, you find God. Then whatsoever you drink and eat, you find God. And when God pours from everywhere, then life is a celebration.
Rajneesh
Look at the flowers-for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are.
Rajneesh
Zen is not effort. Effort is tension, effort is work, effort is to achieve something. Zen is not something to achieve. You are already that. Just relax, relax so deeply that you become a revelation to yourself.
Rajneesh
To me a man of meditation is bound to be immensely loving.
Rajneesh
There is no God other than life itself.
Rajneesh
There is great difference between trust and belief. Trust is personal, Belief is social.
Rajneesh
To me the greatest problem with humanity is that they don't know anything of meditation.
Rajneesh
Anger is temporary madness.
Rajneesh
Love can exist only after meditation, not before it. That is a simple existential law. Before meditation - only lust, only sexuality. Before meditation you are an animal and not really a human being. With meditation a transformation comes: you become human, and out of your humanness, love flows.
Rajneesh
Meditation cannot be purchased and no one can give it to you. You have to achieve it. It is not something outer, it is something inner, a growth, and that growth comes through awareness.
Rajneesh
Remember, meditation cannot be result-oriented you simply meditate, that's all.
Rajneesh
If you become capable of relaxing the body voluntarily, then you will be able to help your mind relax voluntarily. Mind is a more complex phenomenon. Once you have become confident that the body listens to you, you will have a new trust in yourself. Now even the mind can listen to you. It will take a little longer with the mind, but it happens.
Rajneesh
Live in this world, because this world gives a ripening, maturity, integrity. The challenges of this world give you a centering, an awareness. And that awareness becomes the ladder. Then you can move from Zorba to Buddha.
Rajneesh
My people worship, but not in a church. They worship the beauty of existence.
Rajneesh
Knowledge is also borrowed. It is not a flower that grows in your soul, it is something plastic that has been imposed upon you.
Rajneesh
Why do people hanker for the home? - security, safety. But in the name of security and safety, they don't make homes, they make prisons - and they are the jailed and they are the jailers, but because they have the keys in their own hands, they think they are free.
Rajneesh
