Surrender is just like love. That's why I say only lovers can become sannyasins - because they know a little of how to surrender. Love is the first step towards the divine, surrender is the last. And two steps is the whole journey.
Rajneesh

More quotes by Rajneesh
You will come closer and closer to perfection, but you will never be perfect. Perfection is not the way of existence. Growth is the way.
Rajneesh
What I am teaching is religiousness, a quality. Religion is a dead dogma, fixed principles, frozen fossils. What I am teaching to you is a living, flowing religiousness - an experience like love.
Rajneesh
The ego can exist only with goals, ambitions, desires.
Rajneesh
As long as the I is there, love cannot be. All that we call love is only desire, longing, passion and attachment as long as ego is there, all these bind one.
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
Nature has come to a point where now, unless you take individual responsibility, you cannot grow.
Rajneesh
You cannot possess all and everything. Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.
Rajneesh
When mind knows, we call it knowledge. When heart knows, we call it love. And when being knows, we call it meditation.
Rajneesh
There is nothing ugly about death but man, out of his fear, has made even the word, death ugly and unutterable. People don't like to talk about it. They won't even listen to the word death.
Rajneesh
Society is just a structure with no soul. The soul is of the individual. One individual outweighs all societies. And, one individual's revolution outweighs all revolutions in the whole of history, because one man can become the womb for God to be reborn.
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
It is beautiful to be alone, it is also beautiful to to be in love, to be with people. And they are complementary, not contradictory.
Rajneesh
All methods of meditation are nothing but methods to help you to remember the art of let-go.
Rajneesh
But then you become closed. Then you start dying as far as your intelligence is concerned because intelligence needs the open sky, the wind, the air, the sun in order to grow, to expand, to flow. To remain alive it needs a constant flow if it becomes stagnant it becomes slowly slowly a dead phenomenon.
Rajneesh
Only man has become an outsider - and because of his own efforts. On his own, he has separated himself from existence.
Rajneesh
Our mind is a machine, it is not a mystery. And the mind always wants to know the how, the why. And because of this persistent inquiry about how and why, it goes on missing all that is beyond the boundaries of machines. Life is beyond the boundaries of machines.
Rajneesh
Even great travelers of the inner world have got stuck in beautiful experiences, and have become identified with those experiences, thinking, I have found myself. They have stopped before reaching the final stage where all experiences disappear. Enlightenment is not an experience.
Rajneesh
There are a few activities which are immensely valuable: laughter is one of these activities. Singing, dancing, are also of the same quality, but laughter is the quickest.
Rajneesh
Buddha introduced the idea that young people should become sannyasins. Then it is something significant. When a young person goes beyond sex, when a young person goes beyond desires, when a young person goes beyond greed, ambition, the longing to be powerful, the ambition to be famous, then it is something tremendously meaningful, significant.
Rajneesh
Your absence is the presence of godliness.
Rajneesh
