There are a few things that can be done only by experiencing them. Love is one of them. There is no way to learn it you have to do it. And by trial and error one learns.

More quotes by Rajneesh
Needs can be fulfilled, desires never. Needs are natural, desires are perverted.
Rajneesh
Man wants two contradictory things together: he wants peace and he is ambitious. It is impossible. If you are ambitious, then your mind is bound to remain restless. If you want peace, then the first requirement is to drop all ambition. Unless you drop ambition you cannot be at ease, at peace, you cannot be relaxed.
Rajneesh
Meditation is enough. Everything else follows on its own.
Rajneesh
But Jesus has been depicted as a serious man. And Christians say he never laughed. Then what is the function of an Enlightened man? If Jesus cannot laugh, then who is going to laugh in this world?
Rajneesh
All desiring is desiring for the futile. It leads only into frustration.
Rajneesh
The man who is egoless is the man who has no ideals. Let this be the criterion, and you have stumbled upon a fundamental. The man of no ego is the man of no ideals. Then how can the ego be created? - the very energy is missing. The energy comes out of friction, conflict, struggle, will.
Rajneesh
Meditation is nothing but coming to terms with your inner emptiness: recognizing it, not escaping living through it, not escaping being through it, not escaping. Then suddenly the emptiness becomes the fullness of life.
Rajneesh
You have to be whole: rich in the body, rich in science rich in meditation, rich in consciousness.
Rajneesh
To be alone and to be drunk with your own aloneness is what meditation is all about. Be in the world, but don't be of it.
Rajneesh
I resolve never to make any resolutions because all resolutions are restrictions for the future. All resolutions are imprisonments.
Rajneesh
I have never been a celibate. If people believe so, that is their foolishness.
Rajneesh
In the name of celibacy, sex has been repressed for centuries and you have become just full of sexuality. Rather than transcending it you are boiling within.
Rajneesh
If you take the responsibility for your life you can start changing it. Slow will be the change, only in the course of time will you start moving into the world of light and crystallization, but once you are crystallized you will know what real revolution is. Then share your revolution with others it has to go that way, from heart to heart.
Rajneesh
When mind knows, we call it knowledge. When heart knows, we call it love. And when being knows, we call it meditation.
Rajneesh
So the patient went to the mountains, and do you know what? Next day a telegram arrived for the psychiatrist. The patient said in the telegram, 'I am feeling very happy - why?'
Rajneesh
Coming to the master is coming in search of your innocence, in search of your lost childhood, in search of your originality... in search of your individuality, in search of freedom.
Rajneesh
The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.
Rajneesh
The whole art of ecstasy, meditation, samadhi, is: How to become one with the rhythm of the universe. When it exhales, you exhale. When it inhales, you inhale. You live in it, are not separate, are one with it.
Rajneesh
The meditation I am talking about is not a meditation on something. If you light a lamp and remove all the objects surrounding it, the lamp will still go on giving light. In the same way, if you remove all objects from your consciousness, all thoughts, all imagination, what will happen? – only consciousness will remain.
Rajneesh
Die - you will have to die. But die gracefully. I am not saying die like a stoic, I am not saying die like a very controlled man. No, I'm saying die gracefully, beautifully, as if a friend is coming, knocks at your door, and you are happy. And you embrace the friend and invite him in, and you have been waiting for him so long.
Rajneesh
