The ego is exploitation love is service. And the service that flows from love, freely and spontaneously, is non-violence.

More quotes by Rajneesh
When there is nothing to desire, there is nothing to dream about either, because dreams are reflections of your desires. Dreams are reflections of your frustrations, dreams are reflections of your repressions, dreams reflect your day-life.
Rajneesh
Move inwards! Contentment is a quality of your center it is not found on the circumference. Fulfillment is when you have arrived at your real, authentic being it is not found in the ego.
Rajneesh
A witnessing consciousness lives in life but with tremendous non-attachment, with great non-possessiveness it possesses nothing. It lives totally, it lives passionately, but still knowing that I don't possess anything.
Rajneesh
Individuality is that which you bring into the world.
Rajneesh
But everybody is afraid of death that too is contagious. Your parents are afraid of death, your neighbors are afraid of death. Small children start getting infected by this constant fear all around. Everybody is afraid of death. People don't even want to talk about death.
Rajneesh
Whenever there is love the woman blossoms. Without love, the woman shrinks. The men who love power never fall in love. Even if they fall in love they keep themselves at a distance.
Rajneesh
Die! Die to the ego, die to your past, and you will be resurrected. That resurrection will make you go beyond death, beyond time, beyond misery.
Rajneesh
Remember, meditation cannot be result-oriented you simply meditate, that's all.
Rajneesh
This is what enlightenment is all about - a deep understanding that there is no problem. Then, with no problem to solve, what will you do? Immediately you start living. You will eat, you will sleep, you will love, you will work, you will have a chit-chat, you will sing, you will dance - what else is there to do?
Rajneesh
Meditation is not of the body, not of the mind, not of the soul. Meditation simply means your body, your mind, your soul, all functioning in such a harmony, in such wholeness, humming so beautifully... that they are in a melody, they are one. Your whole being - body, mind, soul - is involved in meditation.
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
Mind only thinks, meditation lives.
Rajneesh
You cannot drop the ego. Once you start trying to drop the ego you will get in a very deep mess you will become more and more worried and puzzled. And this is not the way to get rid of the ego. The only way to get rid of the ego is to look at it.
Rajneesh
You are daydreaming about the future because you have not tasted the present. Start tasting the present. Find out a few moments where you are simply delighting. Looking at the trees, just be the look. Listening to the birds, just be a listening ear. Let them reach to your deepest core. Let their song spread all over your being.
Rajneesh
Take it easy, and remember Easy is Right.
Rajneesh
Whatever you are doing, don't let past move your minddon't let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet.
Rajneesh
No thought, no mind, no choice — just being silent, rooted in yourself.
Rajneesh
In the East a man becomes divine only when he is no longer jealous, a man is thought to be enlightened only when he is no longer jealous. Jealousy is a by-product of the ego and when the ego disappears jealousy disappears. You cannot offend a buddha. Whatsoever you do you cannot offend him.
Rajneesh
The ego does not, cannot live in the present, because the present is real and the ego is false - they never meet.
Rajneesh
Unless your life arises from your spontaneity, from your very empty heart, it is going to be just superficial. And with the superficial you cannot be blissful.
Rajneesh
