That is the ultimate synthesis - when Zorba becomes a Buddha. I am trying to create here not Zorba the Greek but Zorba the Buddha.

More quotes by Rajneesh
Surrendering means non-desiring.
Rajneesh
If you are unconscious, unaware, you are living only in the body, the mortal. And a person who lives for the body, in the body, and only for the body, lives in sin.
Rajneesh
Intelligence comes from meditation, intelligence comes from rebellion, intelligence does not come from memory
Rajneesh
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously then there will not be any darkness.
Rajneesh
Life is happiness and unhappiness. Life is day and night, life is life and death. You have to be aware of both.
Rajneesh
If you wait for your natural soul mate to meet with you, it will be just like waiting for lightning with which to read your Bible. And you will not be able to read much either. For a moment it is there, and by the time you have opened the Bible it is gone.
Rajneesh
Real love makes you more of an individual. It does not efface your individuality, it gives you individuality. Real love is very respectful.
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
Ecstasy is our very nature, not to be ecstatic is simply unnecessary. To be ecstatic is natural, spontaneous. It needs no effort to be ecstatic, it needs great effort to be miserable. That's why you look so tired, because misery is real hard work to maintain it is really difficult, because you are doing something against the nature.
Rajneesh
It has nothing to do with your desires and their fulfillment, with your hopes and their fulfillment it is already the case. But to see the celebration that is already happening at the deepest core of your being you will have to drop becoming, you will have to understand the futility of becoming.
Rajneesh
When love moves to the fifth center then whatever talents you have, any creative dimension, is possible for you. This is the center of creativity. It is not only for songs, not only for music it is for all creativity.
Rajneesh
How can one become enlightened in one single moment? One can, because one is enlightened -- one just has to recognize the fact. It is not something that happens from the outside, it is something that arises from the inside. It has always been there but you were clouded, you were full of thoughts.
Rajneesh
If you become capable of relaxing the body voluntarily, then you will be able to help your mind relax voluntarily. Mind is a more complex phenomenon. Once you have become confident that the body listens to you, you will have a new trust in yourself. Now even the mind can listen to you. It will take a little longer with the mind, but it happens.
Rajneesh
Zen says: be empty. Look without any idea. Look into the nature of things but with no idea, with no prejudice, with no presupposition.
Rajneesh
God is not a person but creativity, not a creator but creativity.
Rajneesh
The society wants you to have beautiful personalities the society wants you to have personalities which are comfortable for the society, convenient for the society. But the person is not the real thing, the individual is the real thing. The individual is not necessarily always comfortable to the society - in fact he is very inconvenient.
Rajneesh
Meditation is nothing but putting the mind aside, putting the mind out of the way, and bringing a witnessing which is always there but hidden underneath the mind. This witnessing will reach to your center, and once you have become enlightened, then there is no problem. Then bring the mind in tune with you
Rajneesh
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.
Rajneesh
People are afraid, very much afraid of those who know themselves. They have a certain power, a certain aura and a certain magnetism.
Rajneesh
And remember one fundamental law of life. If they are hostile, they have hate towards us, sooner or later they are going to fall into my trap, because hate can turn into love very easily, just as love can become hate very easily.
Rajneesh
