Freedom is not to be destroyed in the name of love. Freedom is a far higher value than your so-called love.

More quotes by Rajneesh
Just look at life with more playful eyes. Don't be serious. Seriousness becomes like a blindness. Don't pretend to be a thinker, a philosopher. Just simply be a human being. The whole world is showering its joy on you in so many ways, but if you are too serious, you cannot open your heart.
Rajneesh
Unless you have the courage to doubt you will never come to know the truth.
Rajneesh
Laughter is more sacred than prayer, dancing more spiritual than chanting mantras, loving existence more cosmic than going to a church.
Rajneesh
Remember: ego can create misery, ego can create anguish, ego can create hate, ego can create jealousy. Ego can never become a vehicle for the divine, it can never become the passage for the beyond.
Rajneesh
God is always joking. Look at your own life - it is a joke! Look at other people's lives, and you will find jokes and jokes and jokes. Seriousness is illness seriousness has nothing spiritual about it. Spirituality is laughter, spirituality is joy, spirituality is fun.
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
To be able to celebrate life is religion. In that very celebration you come close to God. If one is able to celebrate, God is not far away if one is not able to celebrate life, then God does not exist for him. God appears only in deep celebration, when you are so full of joy that all misery has left you, all darkness has left you.
Rajneesh
Yes, it is better to look from the window than not to look at all, but to look through the window cannot be compared to the windowless sky.
Rajneesh
You come to the master only in deep humbleness, because learning is possible only in humbleness. You have come to surrender, not to perform, not to manipulate, not to impress.
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
Love has these three stages, and compassion accordingly has three stages, and both can exist in different combinations.
Rajneesh
It is beautiful that there are three hundred religions in the world more are needed. ... Each person should have his own religion - there should be as many religions as there are people!
Rajneesh
As I see it, out of a hundred marriages ninety-nine marriages are just licensed prostitution. They are not marriages. A marriage is only a real marriage when it grows out of love. Legal, illegal, does not matter. The real thing that matters is love.
Rajneesh
Marriage is a plastic flower - marriage is an institution. And who wants to live in an institution?
Rajneesh
`Freedom` means freedom from the mind. Then you are simply in a silence, and in that silence you melt, you merge with the whole. And to melt and merge with the whole is to be holy. Not by fasting, not by torturing, but by becoming one with the whole, one becomes holy.
Rajneesh
When you are self-conscious you are in trouble. When you are self-conscious you are really showing symptoms that you don't know who you are. Your very self-consciousness indicates that you have not come home yet.
Rajneesh
The idea of vegetarianism is of immense value it is based on great reverence for life.
Rajneesh
To me the greatest problem with humanity is that they don't know anything of meditation.
Rajneesh
When you love, love as if the person is a god, not less than that. Never love a woman as a woman and never love a man as a man.
Rajneesh
The whole play of existence is so beautiful that laughter can be the only response to it. Only laughter can be the real prayer, gratitude.
Rajneesh
