Only those persons who have lived, really lived, are ready, welcoming, receptive, thankful to death. Then death is not the enemy. Then death becomes the fulfillment.

More quotes by Rajneesh
What is discipline? Discipline means creating an order within you. As you are, you are a chaos.
Rajneesh
The world is not religious because religion is imposed upon us. The parents are in a hurry to impose the church, the state, the country - everybody is in a hurry to impose a certain religion on the child. How foolish! How stupid! Religion needs maturity, great understanding, before one can choose.
Rajneesh
Tantra says be real, be authentic to yourself. Your happiness is not bad it is good. It is not sin! Only sadness is sin, only to be miserable is sin. To be happy is virtue because a happy person will not create unhappiness for others. Only a happy person can be a ground for others' happiness.
Rajneesh
A man of many seasons and many rainbows - there are so many dimensions of celebration.
Rajneesh
[M]ental peace is not meditation. Meditation is the flight beyond the mind. It has nothing to do with mental peace.
Rajneesh
The more mind is filled with chattering, more sex has appeal.
Rajneesh
Man is certainly not creative, but his creativity should not be concerned with God. His creativity should be concerned with making a better world, a better society, better literature, better poetry, better paintings, better sculpture, better human beings.
Rajneesh
Sometimes happiness comes, sometimes sadness, anger, jealousy - you need not make them your problems
Rajneesh
Deep love creates deep fear. It looks like death because the I disappears, the you disappears - and it is a sort of death. And when you die, only then do you enter into the divine.
Rajneesh
The whole existence is a temple...the trees are continously in worship, the clouds are in prayer and the mountains are in meditation.
Rajneesh
Zen says: be empty. Look without any idea. Look into the nature of things but with no idea, with no prejudice, with no presupposition.
Rajneesh
My people worship, but not in a church. They worship the beauty of existence.
Rajneesh
The first thing to be understood: effort is needed, but effort alone is not enough - effort and then effortlessness, effort plus effortlessness. Effort precedes, and then effortlessness follows. Effortlessness is the peak of effort, it comes only when you have reached the peak
Rajneesh
Sex has become more and more attractive because of its condemnation by priests
Rajneesh
The guru is just trying to help you, to bring you to a point where you can at least surrender the ego. Then a deep ecstasy will happen between you and your master. Wherever there is a `let-go', ecstasy happens - that is the law.
Rajneesh
Walk, with awareness. Eat, with awareness. Breathe, with awareness.
Rajneesh
Attachment is the root cause of all misery - and our mind is such that it starts clinging to each and everything. It starts becoming identified, attached, it does not know how to keep a distance hence the misery.
Rajneesh
The deeper you surrender to existence, life, nature, the more loving, more understanding, more insightful you become.
Rajneesh
Meditation is the art of cleaning your mirror from all the dust that the society, the religion, the educational system has poured on you, to take away everything that has not been born with you, to bring you to your absolute innocence as you were born as a child.
Rajneesh
Intelligence is dangerous. Intelligence means you will start thinking on your own you will start looking around on your own. You will not believe in the scriptures you will believe only in your own experience.
Rajneesh
