Quote

Attachment is misery, but from the very beginning the child is taught for attachment. The mother will say to the child, Love me I am your mother. The father will say, Love me I am your father - as if someone is a father or a mother so he becomes automatically lovable.

Religion has only one answer and that answer is meditation. And meditation means how to empty yourself.
Rajneesh

Tantra says be real, be authentic to yourself. Your happiness is not bad it is good. It is not sin! Only sadness is sin, only to be miserable is sin. To be happy is virtue because a happy person will not create unhappiness for others. Only a happy person can be a ground for others' happiness.

Mind is a crowd of many desires it is not a single desire. Mind is multi-psychic, and all the fragments are falling apart in different directions. It is a miracle how we go on keeping ourselves together it is a hard struggle to keep oneself together. Somehow we manage, but that togetherness remains only on the surface. Deep down there is turmoil.

Let this be the criterion always: anything that makes you festive, anything that gives you celebration, anything that makes you dance and sing to such an extent that you disappear in your dancing, in your singing, in your celebration... is the only true religion I know of.

Illusions are bound to be shattered
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
Image
Your desires are immense, almost infinite. Because of your desires life becomes a competition, and wherever there is competition, there is anxiety and angst and at the end everybody is aware deep down there is death.
Rajneesh
Image
Nobody asked you about being born, nobody is going to ask you when the time comes for you to be taken away. Then why be worried? Birth happened to you death will happen to you who are you to come in between?
