Zorba is beautiful, but something is missing. The earth is his, but the heaven is missing. He is earthly, rooted, like a giant cedar, but he has no wings. He cannot fly into the sky. He has roots but no wings.
Rajneesh

They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then think as much as you want!
Rajneesh
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
Ego cannot bring anything extraordinary into the world the extraordinary comes only through egolessness. And so is the case with the musician and the poet and the dancer. So is the case with everybody.
Rajneesh
Life is a garden. It is an opportunity. You can grow weeds, you can grow roses it all depends on you.
Rajneesh
Love never hurts anybody. And if you feel you have been hurt by love, it is something else in you, not your loving quality that feels hurt.
Rajneesh
Because of Christianity the West has missed many things, and one of them is meditation, the rarest flowering of a human being, because they have made it equivalent to contemplation. Contemplation is thinking. Meditation is no-thinking.
Rajneesh
And then certainly, whatsoever you do - your character, your behaviour - is yours, authentically yours. It has your signature on it. Then you are not a carbon copy, you are original. The Zen people call it finding the original face.
Rajneesh
The body has to be looked after: one has to be very caring about the body and very loving to the body. And then, its very spontaneity purifies it, makes it holy.
Rajneesh
The ego is exploitation love is service. And the service that flows from love, freely and spontaneously, is non-violence.
Rajneesh
In the name of celibacy, sex has been repressed for centuries and you have become just full of sexuality. Rather than transcending it you are boiling within.
Rajneesh
Truth is not found by knowledge, it is found by silence. And knowledge is noisy.
Rajneesh
Effortlessness is a great phenomenon. Once you know it, many millions of things become possible to you. Through effort the market through effortlessness the God. Through effort you can never reach to nirvana - you can reach lo New Delhi, but not to nirvana.
Rajneesh
Whatsoever you are waiting for, you are waiting in vain. It is not going to happen, and what is going to happen has nothing to do with your expectations and your desires. You just let it come in don't block the way. Remove yourself out of your own way. This time, with no expectations, no desires, no hopes, just meditate.
Rajneesh
Watch,witness,observe your thoughts-without any judgement,without any condemnation or evaluation.
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
By and by... there are more and more gaps of silence. Through those gaps, windows will open to the divine.
Rajneesh
Die each moment so that you are renewed each moment.
Rajneesh
The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.
Rajneesh
You are angry, and you watch it. You are not just angry, a new element is introduced into it: you are watching it. And the miracle is that if you can watch anger, the anger disappears without being repressed.
Rajneesh
I want my people to understand that because only man is capable to laugh, that means laughter is the highest point of consciousness, the highest point of understanding, the highest point of evolution. That's why I have started calling laughter the prayer time.
Rajneesh
