More quotes by Rajneesh
You want a love which is born out of meditation, not born out of the mind.
Rajneesh
Life cannot be possessed. You cannot have it in your fist. If you want to have it, you have to keep your hands open.
Rajneesh
When becoming disappears, all the smoke of becoming disappears, there is the flame of being, and that very flame is celebration.
Rajneesh
Whatsoever you can be you are. There is no goal. And we are not going anywhere. We are simply celebrating here. Existence is not a journey, it is a celebration. Think of it as a celebration, as a delight, as a joy! Don't turn it into a suffering, don't turn it into a duty, a work. Let it be play.
Rajneesh
In relationship, be blissful, in aloneness be aware and they will help each other, like two wings of a bird.
Rajneesh
I love this world because it is imperfect. It is imperfect, and that's why it is growing if it was perfect it would have been dead.
Rajneesh
Mind can only desire, and each desire is going to be frustrated. Instead of bringing more meditation, it will bring you more frustration. Instead of bringing you more love, it will bring to you more anger. Instead of silence and peace, it will bring more traffic of thoughts.
Rajneesh
When you love, love as if the person is a god, not less than that. Never love a woman as a woman and never love a man as a man.
Rajneesh
Modern art is childish - not childlike, remember, childish not innocent but stupid, insane, pathological. We have to get rid of this trend. We have to create a new kind of art, a new kind of creativity. We have to bring to the world again what Gurdjieff calls objective art.
Rajneesh
For a prayer oriented religion the concept of a personal God is needed - to relate to. For meditation-oriented religions God is a useless hypothesis it can be discarded easily into the dustbin. It is not needed.
Rajneesh
Love with eyes knows when to say no, when to say yes. Love neither interferes in anybody`s life nor allows anybody else to interfere into one`s own life. Love gives individuality to others, but does not lose its own individuality.
Rajneesh
Watch,witness,observe your thoughts-without any judgement,without any condemnation or evaluation.
Rajneesh
Why do people hanker for the home? - security, safety. But in the name of security and safety, they don't make homes, they make prisons - and they are the jailed and they are the jailers, but because they have the keys in their own hands, they think they are free.
Rajneesh
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
The fundamental thing is to drop the split, to become one. Be one, and then all else is possible even the impossible is possible.
Rajneesh
It is the deep urge to be one with the whole, the deep urge to dissolve I and thou into one unity. Love is that because we are separated from our own source, out of that separation the desire arises to fall back into the whole, to become one with it.
Rajneesh
Try vegetarianism and you will be surprised: meditation becomes far easier. Love becomes more subtle, loses its grossness — becomes more sensitive but less sensuous, becomes more prayerful and less sexual. And your body also starts taking on a different vibe. You become more graceful, softer, more feminine, less aggressive, more receptive.
Rajneesh
The man of control lives in choice, and the man of understanding lives in choicelessness.
Rajneesh
Be in relaxation a few moments. It can be any kind of situations - swimming in the river, relax with the river, or sunning on the beach, relax with the sun - anything. Life is full of opportunities.
Rajneesh
Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance.
Rajneesh
