True freedom is always spiritual. It has something to do with your innermost being, which cannot be chained, handcuffed, or put into a jail.
Rajneesh

More quotes by Rajneesh
When a man's life becomes poetry, becomes a song, becomes a work of art, a creativity, he has become a sannyasin. Whether he knows it or not, it does not matter. The word 'sannyas' does not matter what matters is the content.
Rajneesh
Nobody else can destroy you except you nobody else can save you except you. You are the Judas and you are the Jesus.
Rajneesh
Paradise is not somewhere else... it is within you. And it is not in some other time, after death... It is in you right now.
Rajneesh
If you are a man of prayer, existence appears as God, as personal. If you are a man of meditation, existence is impersonal, just a wholeness, a divineness. For the man of prayer there is God for the man of awareness there is godliness but no God.
Rajneesh
When I say be creative I don't mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.
Rajneesh
The West is concentration of the mind: the East is meditation of the mind. The West is thinking: the East is non-thinking. The West is mind: the East is no-mind.
Rajneesh
Don't seek, don't search, don't ask, don't knock, don't demand - relax. If you relax, it comes. If you relax, it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it.
Rajneesh
Hence the Bible has no record of his years of preparation the record is very abrupt. Something about his childhood is said, very fragmentary. And only once is he mentioned: when he was twelve years of age and he started arguing with the priests in the temple - that's all. Then there is a gap of eighteen years... nothing is mentioned.
Rajneesh
Freedom is a ladder: one side of the ladder reaches hell, the other side touches heaven. It is the same ladder the choice is yours.
Rajneesh
Create inner freedom through witnessing. Sannyas is only for the inner freedom. And live out of inner freedom.
Rajneesh
The perfectionist is bound to be a neurotic, he cannot enjoy life, until he is perfect. And perfection as such never happens, it is not in the nature of things. Totality is possible, perfection is not possible.
Rajneesh
If your creativity comes out of your silence, out of your Zen, out of your meditations, then it is authentic, original. If it comes only as an occupation because you are feeling lost and there is nothing to do - a long holiday, so you start doing something... That is not coming out of your silences, it is coming out of your crazy mind.
Rajneesh
Meditation is enough. Everything else follows on its own.
Rajneesh
At its highest, love is a religious state of consciousness. I love you too, Buddha loves, Jesus loves, but their love demands nothing in return.
Rajneesh
You will not become dependent on the people you love. You will share - and sharing is beautiful.
Rajneesh
Zen lives in the present. The Whole teaching is: how to be in the present how to get out of the past which is no more and how not to get involved in the future which is not yet, and just to be rooted, centered, in that which is.
Rajneesh
When becoming disappears, all the smoke of becoming disappears, there is the flame of being, and that very flame is celebration.
Rajneesh
Don't call it uncertainty-call it wonder.
Rajneesh
Find ecstasy within yourself. It is not out there. It is in your innermost flowering. The one you are looking for is you.
Rajneesh
Yesterday you were thinking about today because then it was tomorrow now it is today and you are thinking about tomorrow, and when the tomorrow comes, it will become today- because anything that exists, exists here and now, it cannot exist otherwise.
Rajneesh
