Virtue is virtue only when it is spontaneous virtue is virtue only when it is natural, unpractised - when it comes out of your vision, out of your awareness, out of your understanding.

More quotes by Rajneesh
No, I don't want to give my people sticks. I want to give them eyes.
Rajneesh
The mind is the world and the no-mind is freedom from the world. The mind is misery and no-mind is the end of misery and the beginning of ecstasy.
Rajneesh
Beware of dreams! And watch your dreams day in, day out, because they are continuously there. You can watch them, and by watching them you will become unidentified with them, you will become a mirror reflecting them. And this brings great freedom. Freedom from dreams is freedom from the world.
Rajneesh
All the buddhas of all the ages have been telling you a very simple fact: Be — don´t try to become. Within these two words, be and becoming, your whole life is contained. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance. Osho
Rajneesh
But there is a world of difference between dancing and watching a dance performed by a group of professionals who are paid for it. You work hard during the day, and when you are tired in the evening you go to a concert to watch others dancing. It is all you can do, but it is not even an apology for celebration.
Rajneesh
When there is no mind, you are in yoga when there is mind you are not in yoga. So you may do all the postures, but if the mind goes on functioning, if you go on thinking, you are not in yoga.
Rajneesh
Why do you dream? - because there are so many desires unfulfilled, and to live with unfulfilled desires is painful. In dream you try to fulfill them in dream you create a false feeling of fulfillment. Hence your dreams show much about you: what your desires are, what you want to become. But if you want to become anything in life, you are asleep.
Rajneesh
Nobody can teach you love. Love you have to find yourself, within your being, by raising your consciousness to higher levels.
Rajneesh
Remember, if you have not known sadness together with happiness you have not known anything yet. Then your happiness is superficial your sadness is also superficial. Then you have been living on the surface then you have known only the waves you have not known the depth of the ocean that you are.
Rajneesh
When sadness comes, accept it. Listen to its song. It has something to give to you. It has a gift which no happiness can give to you, only sadness can give it.
Rajneesh
When you listen with perfect awareness, then listening becomes possible.
Rajneesh
The real religion is not imitation of anybody else, it is a search to find out your own authentic self, who you are.
Rajneesh
Create the way by your walking you will not find a ready-made path
Rajneesh
Find the light and it will show you the path. The path that is shown by your own light is the only path that is right.
Rajneesh
Love and respect yourself and never compromise for anything. And then you will be surprised how much growth starts happening of its own accord.. as if rocks have been removed and the river has started flowing.
Rajneesh
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously then there will not be any darkness.
Rajneesh
It is a way to avoid difficulties, but whenever you avoid difficulties and challenges you have avoided growth also. Married people never grow. Lovers grow, because they have to meet the challenge every moment - and with no security. They have to create an inner phenomenon. With security you need not bother to create anything the society helps.
Rajneesh
Freedom is a ladder: one side of the ladder reaches hell, the other side touches heaven. It is the same ladder the choice is yours.
Rajneesh
Life in its infinite forms exists as one organic unity. We are part of it: the part should feel reverence for the whole. That is the idea of vegetarianism. It simply means: don't destroy life. It simply means: life is God - avoid destroying it, otherwise you will be destroying the very ecology.
Rajneesh
Zen lives in the present. The Whole teaching is: how to be in the present how to get out of the past which is no more and how not to get involved in the future which is not yet, and just to be rooted, centered, in that which is.
Rajneesh
