Quote

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.

More quotes by Rajneesh

Image
There is no separate art of life. If you know how to allow poetry, if you know how to allow dance, if you know how to allow love - if you know how to ALLOW, then you know the art of life. In the allowing, in the let-go, in the surrender, is the art of life. How not to be and to let God be - that is the only art of life.
Rajneesh
Image
In the East, all the religions preach egolessness. So in the East, everybody is against the ego from the very beginning.
Rajneesh
Image
Zen has no theory. It is a non-theoretical approach into reality. It has no doctrine and no dogma - hence it has no church, no priest, no pope.
Rajneesh
Image
Unless you drop your personality you will not be able to find your individuality. Individuality is given by existence personality is imposed by the society.
Rajneesh
Image
My whole teaching consists of two words, meditation and love. Meditate so that you can feel immense silence, and love so that your life can become a song, a dance, a celebration. You will have to move between the two, and if you can move easily, if you can move without any effort, you have learned the greatest thing in life.

Life begins where fear ends.
Rajneesh
Image
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
Image
I live my life based on 2 principles. One, I live as if today was my last day on earth. Two, I live today as if I am going to live forever.
Rajneesh
Image
The beauty is in finding, not in what you find that is just an excuse.
Rajneesh
Image
Do not cling to anything, to any idea because clinging is the bondage, even to the idea of enlightenment.
Rajneesh
Image
Remember the word bodhichitta, because Atisha says the whole effort of religion, the whole science of religion, is nothing but an endeavor to create bodhichitta, buddha-consciousness: a mind which functions as a no-mind, a mind which dreams no more, thinks no more, a mind which is just awareness, pure awareness.
Rajneesh
Image
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
Image
There is only one courage and that is the courage to go on dying to the past, not to collect it, not to accumulate it, not to cling to it. We all cling to the past and because we cling to the past we become unavailable to the present.
Rajneesh
Image
People are afraid, very much afraid of those who know themselves. They have a certain power, a certain aura and a certain magnetism.
Rajneesh
Image
Those who have known death from inside lose all fear of death.
Rajneesh
Image
At its highest, love is a religious state of consciousness. I love you too, Buddha loves, Jesus loves, but their love demands nothing in return.
Rajneesh
Image
Choose one meditation and then put all your effort in it. That effort has to be very regular because will is created only out of regularity. It has to be very persistent and a continuity has to be maintained. Even to miss for one day is to destroy much - and at least one hour every day has to be given to it.
Rajneesh

Tomorrow never comes.
Rajneesh

Zen people love Buddha so tremendously that they can even play jokes upon him. It is out of great love they are not afraid.
Rajneesh
Image
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
