As long as the I is there, love cannot be. All that we call love is only desire, longing, passion and attachment as long as ego is there, all these bind one.

More quotes by Rajneesh
Consciousness means choicelessness, and to be choiceless is to be free from all desire, is to be free from all projection, is to be free from all imagination, is to be free from future.
Rajneesh
The only way to know something absolutely is to experience it for yourself anything less is theory, speculation, and belief. .
Rajneesh
Because we cling to the past we become unavailable to the present.
Rajneesh
Listening means forgetting yourself completely - only then can you listen.
Rajneesh
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
And through meditation comes wisdom - not through studying books, not through scriptures. Through scriptures one can become knowledgeable but no wise. and knowledgeable people are sad, they are bound to be sad because all their knowledge is borrowed. There can be no song in it.
Rajneesh
You will come closer and closer to perfection, but you will never be perfect. Perfection is not the way of existence. Growth is the way.
Rajneesh
Be - don't try to become.
Rajneesh
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
Life should be a continual celebration, a festival of lights the whole year round. Only then can you grow up, can you blossom.
Rajneesh
If you are a parent, open doors to unknown directions to the child so he can explore. Don't make him afraid of the unknown,give him support.
Rajneesh
Lovers have known sometimes what saints have not known.
Rajneesh
Even great travelers of the inner world have got stuck in beautiful experiences, and have become identified with those experiences, thinking, I have found myself. They have stopped before reaching the final stage where all experiences disappear. Enlightenment is not an experience.
Rajneesh
The mind is just like a crowd thoughts are the individuals. And because thoughts are there continuously you think the process is substantial. Drop each individual thought and finally nothing is left. There is no mind as such, only thinking.
Rajneesh
To come across a Master and to miss the Master is the greatest accident, very unfortunate, that can happen to a man.
Rajneesh
I am not saying renounce sex, I am saying transform it. It need not remain just biological: bring some spirituality to it. While making love, meditate too. While making love, be prayerful. Love should not be just a physical act pour your soul into it.
Rajneesh
You will find a blissfulness which contains in it sadness also, because that sadness gives it depth. Watch Buddha's statue - blissful, but still sad. The very word sad gives you wrong connotations - that something is wrong. This is your interpretation. To me, life in its totality is good.
Rajneesh
Never imitate. The mind is an imitator, because imitation is very easy. To be someone is very difficult. To become someone is very easy - all that you need is to be a hypocrite, which is not much of a problem. Deep down you remain the same, but on the surface you go on painting yourself according to some image.
Rajneesh
Remember, don't start trying to relax that is the most absurd thing in the world. And there are many stupid people writing books about relaxation. I have come across one book - the name of the book is YOU MUST RELAX! Now that very word 'must' is enough to keep you tense. Relaxation cannot be a must, it cannot be an effort.
Rajneesh
Walk, but make walking a meditation walk knowingly Breathe, but let your breathing become a constant meditation breathe knowingly. The breath going in: watch it. The breath going out: watch it. Eat, but eat with full awareness. Take a bite, chew it, but go on watching. Let the watcher be there in every moment, whatsoever you are doing.
Rajneesh
