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

More quotes by Rajneesh
Giving love is the real beautiful experience, because then you are an emperor.
Rajneesh
If you clean the floor with love, you have done an invisible painting. Live each moment in such delight that it gives you something inner.
Rajneesh
Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.
Rajneesh
Experience life in all possible ways -- good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light, summer-winter. Experience all the dualities. Don't be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become.
Rajneesh
When sadness comes, just sit by the side and look at it and say, I am the watcher, I am not sadness, and see the difference. Immediately you have cut the very root of sadness. It is no more nourished. It will die of starvation. We feed these emotions by being identified with them.
Rajneesh
We never ask the meaning of life when we are in love.
Rajneesh
Never imitate. The mind is an imitator, because imitation is very easy. To be someone is very difficult. To become someone is very easy - all that you need is to be a hypocrite, which is not much of a problem. Deep down you remain the same, but on the surface you go on painting yourself according to some image.
Rajneesh
In relationship, be blissful, in aloneness be aware and they will help each other, like two wings of a bird.
Rajneesh
Learn to laugh. Seriousness is a sin, and it is a disease. Laughter has tremendous beauty, a lightness. It will bring lightness to you, and it will give you wings to fly.
Rajneesh
The fool knows nothing of God he never comes across anything divine. He remains part of the stupid collectivity. Remember, the society, the collective has no soul the soul belongs to the individual. Hence, those who belong to the collective are destroying every possibility of being souls.
Rajneesh
Life is a balance between rest and movement.
Rajneesh
Meditation is not doing something. But you cannot take a jump immediately into non-doing. So I suggest that you make your doing total. Move into it so deeply, and so totally that suddenly the doing drops, and you alone are left, just existing.
Rajneesh
Love has these three stages, and compassion accordingly has three stages, and both can exist in different combinations.
Rajneesh
As long as the I is there, love cannot be. All that we call love is only desire, longing, passion and attachment as long as ego is there, all these bind one.
Rajneesh
Drop all ideas of achieving in meditation, just do it naturally what happens happens on its own. One day, effortlessly, everything starts happening by itself.
Rajneesh
To be and to be creative are synonymous. It is impossible to be and not to be creative. But that impossible thing has happened, that ugly phenomenon has happened, because all your creative sources have been plugged, blocked, destroyed, and your whole energy has been forced into some activity that the society thinks is going to pay.
Rajneesh
Love is born in sexuality but sexuality is not love. The lotus is born in the mud, but the lotus is not just mud. And if mud remains mud of course there are bound to be tears on the cheeks.
Rajneesh
Truth cannot be defined, although it can certainly be experienced. But experience is not a definition. A definition is made by the mind, experience comes through participating. If somebody asks, What is a dance? how can you define it? But you can dance and you can know the inner feel of it. God is the ultimate dance.
Rajneesh
Sadness comes, joy comes, and everything passes by. What remains always is the witness. The witness is beyond all polarities.
Rajneesh
Every child is so helpless - just to survive he has to be political, he has to accept whatsoever the parents are saying.
Rajneesh
