Quote

The ordinary marriage is an unconscious bondage: you cannot live alone so you become dependent on the other the other cannot live alone so he or she becomes dependent on you. And we hate the person on which we are dependent nobody likes to depend on anybody. Our deepest desire is to have freedom, total freedom - and dependence is against freedom.

The word devil is very beautiful, if you read it backwards it becomes lived.
Rajneesh
Image
Drop the idea of being Extraordinary! It's keeping you mediocre. To be Ordinary is the most extraordinary thing in the world. The Ordinary person has light in his eyes he has become extraordinary but he has no idea of it.
Rajneesh
Image
First become a Zorba, a flower of this earth, and earn the capacity through it to become a Buddha - the flower of the other world. The other world is not away from this world the other world is not against this world: the other world is hidden in this. This is only a manifestataion of the other, and the other is the unmanifest part of this.
Rajneesh

Transcendence of sex is a totally different phenomenon from the suppression of it. But suppression can give you the feeling that you have transcended.
Rajneesh
Image
People say love is blind because they do not know what love is. I say unto you, only love has eyes other than love, everything is blind.
Rajneesh
Image
If you ask Zen people they will say tea is not something that you pour with unawareness and drink like any other drink. It is not a drink, it is meditation it is prayer. So they listen to the kettle creating a melody, and in that listening they become more silent, more alert.
Rajneesh

The sannyasin knows what it means to be an emperor, because he simply gives he enjoys giving, he loves sharing. And the miracle of life is: the more you give the more you have.
Rajneesh
Image
If you really want to create peace on the earth, create peace in your heart, in your being. That is the right place to begin with... and then spread and radiate peace and love.
Rajneesh
Image
You have to be whole: rich in the body, rich in science rich in meditation, rich in consciousness.
Rajneesh
Image
I would like the whole world to be full with authentic art, throbbing with it, living with it, because that is the only way: through authentic art, real art, you transcend it. If the music is real, soon you will move into meditation, because the music will only give you a little glimpse of meditation, nothing more.
Rajneesh

Man is always exploited through fear.
Rajneesh
Image
When your desires drop, the world is there, but it is a totally new world. It is so fresh, it is so colorful, it is so beautiful! But a mind attached to things cannot see it because eyes are closed with attachment.
Rajneesh
Image
Walk, with awareness. Eat, with awareness. Breathe, with awareness.
Rajneesh
Image
Buddah says once you understand that you are lost and you have to find your own way and there is no help coming, you become responsible. Prayer is irresponsible. To pray is just to avoid responsibility, to pray is to be lazy. To pray is just an escape. Buddha says effort is needed. It is an insult to pray.

The more mind is filled with chattering, more sex has appeal.
Rajneesh
Image
Whatsoever you are waiting for, you are waiting in vain. It is not going to happen, and what is going to happen has nothing to do with your expectations and your desires. You just let it come in don't block the way. Remove yourself out of your own way. This time, with no expectations, no desires, no hopes, just meditate.

Seriousness is a sickness... Existense is pure playfulness
Rajneesh
Image
Choose one meditation and then put all your effort in it. That effort has to be very regular because will is created only out of regularity. It has to be very persistent and a continuity has to be maintained. Even to miss for one day is to destroy much - and at least one hour every day has to be given to it.
Rajneesh

If you feel you are the body type, then running can be very beautiful for you: a four, five mile run every day. And make it a meditation. It will transform you completely.

Laughter relaxes. And relaxation is spiritual.
