Quote

Attachment brings misery, unattachment brings blissfulness. So use things, but don't be used by them. Live life but don't be lived by it. Possess things, but don't be possessed by them. Have things - that's not a problem. I am not for renunciation. Enjoy everything that life gives, but always remain free.

If this is understood then things become very clear. Misery makes you special. Happiness is a universal phenomenon, there is nothing special about it.
Rajneesh
Image
Meditation has only one meaning, and that is going beyond the mind and becoming a witness. In your witnessing is the miracle - the whole mystery of life
Rajneesh
Image
God has a tremendous sense of humor! Religion remains something dead without a sense of humor as a foundation to it. God would not have been able to create the world if he had no sense of humor. God is not serious at all. Seriousness is a state of disease humor is health. Love, laughter, life, they are aspects of the same energy.
Rajneesh
Image
Enlightenment is choicelessness. But don`t misunderstand me. Before that, you will have to move very cautiously, choosing the right against the wrong, choosing the truer so that you can reach to the ultimate truth.
Rajneesh
Image
When movement becomes ecstatic, then this is dance. When the movement is so total there is no ego, then it is dance.
Rajneesh
Image
You can succeed only with God, never against him. You can succeed only with the whole, never against it.
Rajneesh

Don't try to force anything. Let life be a deep let-go. God opens millions of flowers everyday without forcing their buds
Rajneesh
Image
There is no God other than life itself.
Rajneesh

The only thing that matters in life, is your own opinion about yourself.
Rajneesh
Image
Unless you love yourself, you can't love anybody. Be selfish.
Rajneesh
Image
All that this world needs is a good cleansing of the heart of all the inhibitions of the past. And laughter and tears can do both. Tears will take out all the agony that is hidden inside you and laughter will take all that is preventing your ecstasy. Once you have learned the art you will be immensely surprised.
Rajneesh
Image
There is no greater magic than meditation. To transform the negative into the positive. To transform darkness into light-that is the miracle of meditation.
Rajneesh
Image
Responsibility is awareness, alertness, consciousness. Ego is just unconsciousness. They cannot coexist. As you grow more conscious you grow more towards light, and anything belonging to the world of darkness starts disappearing. Ego is nothing but darkness.
Rajneesh
Image
All duality is a mind creation, all duality is created by the clinging and attached mind. When there is no attachment there is no duality.
Rajneesh
Image
Take hold of your own life. See that the whole existence is celebrating. These trees are not serious, these birds are not serious. The rivers and the oceans are wild, and everywhere there is fun, everywhere there is joy and delight. Watch existence, listen to the existence and become part of it.
Rajneesh
Image
Love makes you empty - empty of jealousy, empty of power trips, empty of anger, empty of competitiveness, empty of your ego and all its garbage. But love also makes you full of things which are unknown to you right now it makes you full of fragrance, full of light, full of joy.
Rajneesh
Image
Only laughter makes a man rich, but the laughter has to be blissful.
Rajneesh

Sex has become more and more attractive because of its condemnation by priests
Rajneesh
Image
When you feel expansion of your consciousness, that is the most ecstatic experience possible, because suddenly you are the whole universe. Stars are within you. The sun rises within you and sets within you. The earth moves within you. The flowers blossom within you.
Rajneesh
