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

More quotes by Rajneesh
Zen is the only religion in the world that teaches sudden enlightenment. It says that enlightenment takes no time, it can happen in a single, split second.
Rajneesh
Never obey anyone's command unless it is coming from within you also.
Rajneesh
Devotion has its own strange ways. It is not something rational, logical, something that can be explained to you. But it is something, if you go on growing from a student into a disciple, from a disciple into a devotee, and you come so close to the master that there is no distinction at all.
Rajneesh
The word relationship is beautiful. The original meaning of the root from which the word to relate comes is exactly the same as to respond. Relationship comes from that word respond. If you have any image of your wife or husband, you cannot respond, and hence relate, to the truth of the person. And we all go on carrying images.
Rajneesh
Your absence is the presence of godliness.
Rajneesh
Mind is just in the middle. You are nothing but a mess. If you can go beyond it, intelligence grows in you if you go below it, any intelligence that you had disappears.
Rajneesh
Drop the mind and the divine. God is not an object, it is a merger. The mind resists a merger, the mind is against surrender the mind is very cunning and calculating.
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
You have to be whole: rich in the body, rich in science rich in meditation, rich in consciousness.
Rajneesh
Individuality is that which you bring into the world.
Rajneesh
Why wait for reasons to laugh? Life as it is should be reason enough to laugh. It is so absurd, it is so ridiculous. It is so beautiful, so wonderful! It is all sorts of things together. It is a great cosmic jokŠµ.
Rajneesh
Tomorrow never comes.
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
To come across a Master and to miss the Master is the greatest accident, very unfortunate, that can happen to a man.
Rajneesh
Each moment brings new surprises to the one who has no expectations, who comes with an absolutely open mind. Then incredible things start happening. Even if you had wanted them you could not have expected them you could not have found yourself worthy enough to expect them.
Rajneesh
Religion can be condensed in a single phrase: total freedom to be oneself.
Rajneesh
You cease totally and only then you arrive. You enter into the world of God, or godliness, only when you are no more.
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
All your knowledge is dust. Knowing is your purity, knowledge is dust.
Rajneesh
You have to pull all your energy back to the present moment. And the moment the whole energy becomes a pool, here and now, the explosion of light happens and you are, for the first time, absolutely yourself - an eternal being, an immortal being, who knows nothing of death, who has never come across any darkness.
Rajneesh
