More quotes by Rajneesh
The world is not a problem the problem is your unawareness.
Rajneesh
1.If you can bring your consciousness, your awareness, your intelligence to the act, if you can be spontaneous, then there is no need for any other religion, life itself will be the religion.
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
Man is born only as a potential. He can become a thorn for himself and for others, he can also become a flower for himself and for others.
Rajneesh
To me a man of meditation is bound to be immensely loving.
Rajneesh
Let me insist and emphasise it because I would like all of my sannyasins to be creative in some way. To me, creativity is of tremendous import. An uncreative person is not a religious person at all.
Rajneesh
In the East all the religions preach egolessness. So in the East everybody is against the ego from the very beginning. Because of this anti attitude, ego never becomes strong, never comes to a point of integration from where it can be thrown. It is never ripe. So in the East it is very difficult to dissolve the ego, almost impossible.
Rajneesh
If you move in the present moment, the whole eternity is in your hands.
Rajneesh
This is what I mean by becoming religious: no guilt, no ego, no trip of any kind...just being herenow...being with the trees and the birds and the rivers and the mountains and the stars.
Rajneesh
Your ego is just an idea implanted in your mind. It is poisonous. Your ego keeps driving you madder and madder.
Rajneesh
Meditation is the most significant because it opens the door for all other significant things: love, prayer, God, light, music, poetry.
Rajneesh
No, I don't want to give my people sticks. I want to give them eyes.
Rajneesh
Anybody who gives you a belief system is your enemy, because the belief system becomes the barrier for your eyes, you cannot see the truth.
Rajneesh
Zen is not morality, it is aesthetics. It does not impose a code of morality. it does not give you any commandments: do this, don't do that.
Rajneesh
What is discipline? Discipline means creating an order within you. As you are, you are a chaos.
Rajneesh
Tantra says be real, be authentic to yourself. Your happiness is not bad it is good. It is not sin! Only sadness is sin, only to be miserable is sin. To be happy is virtue because a happy person will not create unhappiness for others. Only a happy person can be a ground for others' happiness.
Rajneesh
Relationship is a mirror.. Every moment the other reveals you, exposes you. The closer the relationship, the clearer is the mirror.
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
Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars-and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful.
Rajneesh
All the buddhas of all the ages have been telling you a very simple fact: Be — don´t try to become. Within these two words, be and becoming, your whole life is contained. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance. Osho
Rajneesh
