Quote

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.

More quotes by Rajneesh

Image
People can live tremendously rich, blissful, ecstatic lives. But the first thing is, we have to accept our responsibility.
Rajneesh
Image
Religion has only one answer and that answer is meditation. And meditation means how to empty yourself.
Rajneesh
Image
Zen is a kind of unlearning. It teaches you how to drop that which you have learned, how to become unskillful again, how to become a child again, how to start existing without mind again, how to be here without any mind.
Rajneesh
Image
I have never been a celibate. If people believe so, that is their foolishness.
Rajneesh
Image
Everybody is born with the capacity to enjoy, but not with the art. People think just because they are alive and they breathe and they exist, they know how to enjoy. That is sheer stupidity. Enjoyment is a great art, it is a great discipline. It is as subtle a discipline as music or poetry or painting. It is the greatest creativity.
Rajneesh
Image
Your absence is the presence of godliness.
Rajneesh
Image
All your seriousness is about sandcastles. And you yourself will leave them one day, trampling them down, and you will not look back. The people who take it seriously miss the beauty of playfulness.
Rajneesh
Image
No, I don't want to give my people sticks. I want to give them eyes.
Rajneesh
Image
Here, fire turns into water Here, the dancing of the rain declares the sun. There's no opposition in existence, no contradiction Everything supports everything else.
Rajneesh
Image
Every moment you are different because you are not-- and unless you are, the divine cannot happen to you. To whom can it happen? You are not there.
Rajneesh
Image
To me the greatest problem with humanity is that they don't know anything of meditation.
Rajneesh
Image
Once you have known the generosity of existence you will never feel miserable.
Rajneesh
Image
First meditate, be blissful, then much love will happen of its own accord. Then being with others is beautiful and being alone is also beautiful. Then it is simple, too. You dont depend on others and you dont make others dependent on you.
Rajneesh
Image
The heart is always right - if there's a question of choosing between the mind and the heart - because mind is a creation of society. It has been educated. You have been given it by society, not by existence. The heart is unpolluted.
Rajneesh
Image
If you become capable of relaxing the body voluntarily, then you will be able to help your mind relax voluntarily. Mind is a more complex phenomenon. Once you have become confident that the body listens to you, you will have a new trust in yourself. Now even the mind can listen to you. It will take a little longer with the mind, but it happens.
Rajneesh
Image
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
Image
To be present is to be prayerful.
Rajneesh
Image
Forget the dancer, the center of the ego become the dance. That is meditation.
Rajneesh
Image
Love knows how to forgive. Love cannot hurt and cannot be violent.
Rajneesh
Image
Love has these three stages, and compassion accordingly has three stages, and both can exist in different combinations.
Rajneesh
