Quote

In the East all the religions preach egolessness. So in the East everybody is against the ego from the very beginning. Because of this anti attitude, ego never becomes strong, never comes to a point of integration from where it can be thrown. It is never ripe. So in the East it is very difficult to dissolve the ego, almost impossible.

You are angry, and you watch it. You are not just angry, a new element is introduced into it: you are watching it. And the miracle is that if you can watch anger, the anger disappears without being repressed.
Rajneesh
Image
God is your very being. So the first thing is, don't think about enlightenment as a goal.
Rajneesh
Image
Death is more important than life. Life is just the trivial, just the superficial death is deeper. Through death you grow to the real life, and through life you only reach death and nothing else.
Rajneesh
Image
Humanity will never be religious unless all organized religions disappear and religion becomes an individual commitment towards existence.
Rajneesh
Image
Your life sparks fires from within your innermost temple. No one can reach there but you, it is your inner sanctum. You are your own master there, only you can reach and ignite the fire.
Rajneesh
Image
Love is a wine you have to taste it, you have to drink it, you have to become drunk with it, only then do you know what it is.
Rajneesh

And then comes unhappiness, and one does not become unhappy either. One says, 'A black cloud passing. I am the witness, the watcher.'
Rajneesh
Image
This is the secret, THE secret ... De-automatize.

A small room is enough a small quantity of food is enough a few clothes are enough one lover, a very ordinary man
Rajneesh
Image
Walk, but make walking a meditation walk knowingly Breathe, but let your breathing become a constant meditation breathe knowingly. The breath going in: watch it. The breath going out: watch it. Eat, but eat with full awareness. Take a bite, chew it, but go on watching. Let the watcher be there in every moment, whatsoever you are doing.
Rajneesh
Image
As the witnessing deepens, you start becoming drunk with the divine. This is what is called ecstasy.
Rajneesh
Image
Life is a continuity always and always. There is no final destination it is going towards. Just the pilgrimage, just the journey in itself is life, not reaching to some point, no goal - just dancing and being in pilgrimage, moving joyously, without bothering about any destination.
Rajneesh
Image
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.

Only the rich can achieve enlightenment because the poor are too busy looking for fridge freezers.
Rajneesh
Image
The ego is nothing but condensed unawareness. When you become aware by and by that condensed unawareness we call 'ego' disappears. Just as if you bring a lamp into the room - and the darkness disappears. Awareness is the lamp, the lamp we were talking about the first day. Be a lamp unto yourself.
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.

Seeking you go astray seeking you go in dreams seeking you go somewhere else and truth is here. Seeking, you go then and truth is NOW
