Meditation is nothing but coming to terms with your inner emptiness: recognizing it, not escaping living through it, not escaping being through it, not escaping. Then suddenly the emptiness becomes the fullness of life.
Rajneesh

More quotes by 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
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.
Rajneesh
The mind is constantly talking. If the inner talk can drop even for a single moment you will be able to have a glimpse of no-mind. That's what meditation is all about. The state of no-mind is the right state. It is your state.
Rajneesh
Zen is a kind of unlearning. It teaches you how to drop that which you have learned, how to become unskillful again, how to become a child again, how to start existing without mind again, how to be here without any mind.
Rajneesh
Wakefulness is the only saintliness there is, and sleepiness, unconsciousness, is the only sin there is all other sins are born out of it. Cut the root, cut the very root! Don't go on pruning the leaves.
Rajneesh
Meditation is the art of living with yourself. It is nothing else than that, simply that: the art of being joyously alone. A meditator can sit joyously alone for months, for years. He does not hanker for the other, because his own inner ecstasy is so much, is so overpowering, that who bothers about the other?
Rajneesh
Guilt simply says that you are a sinner. And the feeling of shame simply shows you that you need not be a sinner, that you are meant to be a saint. If you are a sinner it is only because of your unconsciousness you are not a sinner because the society follows a certain morality and you are not following it.
Rajneesh
Love respects the other. It is a give-and-take relationship. Love enjoys giving, and love enjoys taking. It is a sharing, it is a communication. Both are equal in love in a sexual relationship both are not equal. Love has a totally different beauty to it.
Rajneesh
God is not repetitive His creativity is infinite.
Rajneesh
I want my people to laugh like a lion's roar. Then even laughter becomes a tremendous experience, because it is intelligence at its peak.
Rajneesh
Bliss follows witnessing - and that is going to be your meditation. Witness your body as separate, witness your mind as separate. Remain rooted in witnessing: I am only a watcher. That is going to transform your whole life, it is going to give you the ultimate.
Rajneesh
Be open, and God starts pouring into you like wine from every nook and corner of existence. Then wherever you look, you find God. Then whatsoever you touch, you find God. Then whatsoever you drink and eat, you find God. And when God pours from everywhere, then life is a celebration.
Rajneesh
Our mind is a machine, it is not a mystery. And the mind always wants to know the how, the why. And because of this persistent inquiry about how and why, it goes on missing all that is beyond the boundaries of machines. Life is beyond the boundaries of machines.
Rajneesh
Remain in wonder if you want the mysteries to open up for you.
Rajneesh
When all the faces have been rejected and emptiness is left, you have found the original face. Emptiness is the original face. Zero is the ultimate experience. Nothingness - or more accurately NO-THINGNESS - is your original face.
Rajneesh
My friends, I tell you repeatedly that the illusion that Life creates is very, very intelligent. The illusion itself is intelligent! Just understand how intelligent the intelligence must be in order to create an intelligent illusion. The intelligent illusion is so intelligent it will appear real to man every moment of his daily life!
Rajneesh
God is the collective ego of the world
Rajneesh
To me, creativity is God. But it will be better if you allow me to change the word god into godliness, because I don`t want to be misunderstood. There is no person like God, but there is tremendous energy - exploding, unending, expanding. This expanding, unending, exploding energy, this creativity, is divine.
Rajneesh
The ego is exploitation love is service. And the service that flows from love, freely and spontaneously, is non-violence.
Rajneesh
Each individual`s way is going to be different. Never follow anybody. That is the greatest calamity that can happen to a man. Once you start following somebody else, you become a carbon copy. You become an imitation.
Rajneesh
