More quotes by Rajneesh
Through meditation one discovers one's own light. That light you can call your soul, your self, your God—whatsoever word you choose—or you can remain just silent because it has no name. It is a nameless experience, tremendously beautiful, ecstatic, utterly silent, but it gives you the taste of eternity, of timelessness, of something beyond death.
Rajneesh
If you ask Zen people they will say tea is not something that you pour with unawareness and drink like any other drink. It is not a drink, it is meditation it is prayer. So they listen to the kettle creating a melody, and in that listening they become more silent, more alert.
Rajneesh
If you find a saint who has no sense of humour, then he is not a saint at all. Impossible. His very seriousness says that he has not achieved. Once you have some inner experiences of your own you become very playful, you become very innocent, childlike.
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
It's not a question of learning much.On the contrary.It's a question of UNLEARNING much.' Osho
Rajneesh
You are daydreaming about the future because you have not tasted the present. Start tasting the present. Find out a few moments where you are simply delighting. Looking at the trees, just be the look. Listening to the birds, just be a listening ear. Let them reach to your deepest core. Let their song spread all over your being.
Rajneesh
respect life,revere life.there is nothing more holy than life,nothing more divine than life.
Rajneesh
To be present is to be prayerful.
Rajneesh
The fool knows nothing of God he never comes across anything divine. He remains part of the stupid collectivity. Remember, the society, the collective has no soul the soul belongs to the individual. Hence, those who belong to the collective are destroying every possibility of being souls.
Rajneesh
When you become centered, suddenly there is great freedom because you know you are not the mind and you are not the body.
Rajneesh
Life is a mystery, and there is nothing to explain everything is just open, it is in front of you. Encounter it! Meet it! Be courageous!
Rajneesh
Once you have started seeing the beauty of life, ugliness starts disappearing. If you start looking at life with joy, sadness starts disappearing. You cannot have heaven and hell together, you can have only one. It is your choice.
Rajneesh
Beyond mind, there is an awareness that is intrinsic, that is not given to you by the outside, and is not an idea - and there is no experiment up to now that has found any center in the brain which corresponds to awareness.
Rajneesh
Meditation makes you innocent, it makes you childlike. In that state, miracles are possible. That state is pure magic. A great transformation happens - in innocence you transcend the mind, and to transcend the mind is to become the Awakened One, the Enlightened One.
Rajneesh
Do not cling to anything, to any idea because clinging is the bondage, even to the idea of enlightenment.
Rajneesh
Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.
Rajneesh
I am going to be contradictory to myself many times for the simple reason that I am trying to bring all the religions to a higher synthesis. Different approaches have to be joined together. I am creating an orchestra.
Rajneesh
Paradise is not somewhere else... it is within you. And it is not in some other time, after death... It is in you right now.
Rajneesh
Every moment you are different because you are not-- and unless you are, the divine cannot happen to you. To whom can it happen? You are not there.
Rajneesh
Drop the idea that attachment and love are one thing. They are enemies. It is attachment that destroys all love.
Rajneesh
