More quotes by Rajneesh
Bring awareness to each act. Walking on the road, walk fully alert eating, eat with awareness. Whatsoever you are doing, don't let the past and the future interfere. Be in the present. That's what awareness is all about.
Rajneesh
Never imitate. The mind is an imitator, because imitation is very easy. To be someone is very difficult. To become someone is very easy - all that you need is to be a hypocrite, which is not much of a problem. Deep down you remain the same, but on the surface you go on painting yourself according to some image.
Rajneesh
Doing brings ego. Ego is the shadow of action. And there is only one thing that is not doing and that is awareness, watchfulness. The only thing that is not part of the world of action is pure awareness. No shadow is created by pure awareness. It is so pure that light can pass through it - it is transparent and no shadow is created.
Rajneesh
Real love is not an escape from loneliness, real love is an overflowing aloneness. One is so happy in being alone that one wud like to share.
Rajneesh
Don't choose. If you choose, you will be in the quagmire. Don't choose! A choiceless awareness is the goal. Just remain aloof don't choose. The moment you choose, you have fallen into the trap of the world, or into the trap of the mind.
Rajneesh
Meditation is nothing but putting the mind aside, putting the mind out of the way, and bringing a witnessing which is always there but hidden underneath the mind. This witnessing will reach to your center, and once you have become enlightened, then there is no problem. Then bring the mind in tune with you
Rajneesh
Spirituality is rebellion religiousness is orthodoxy. Spirituality is individuality religiousness is just remaining part of the crowd psychology. Religiousness keeps you a sheep, and spirituality is a lion's roar.
Rajneesh
The fragrance of the heart is made up of the qualities and virtues of our spirit. Most of us have learned how to keep our heart closed in a world that would trample all over us if we let it. Being open hearted today seems to require tremendous courage.
Rajneesh
Attachment brings misery, unattachment brings blissfulness. So use things, but don't be used by them. Live life but don't be lived by it. Possess things, but don't be possessed by them. Have things - that's not a problem. I am not for renunciation. Enjoy everything that life gives, but always remain free.
Rajneesh
Only those persons who have lived, really lived, are ready, welcoming, receptive, thankful to death. Then death is not the enemy. Then death becomes the fulfillment.
Rajneesh
The whole of life has become an institution, a madhouse in which duties are to be fulfilled not love in which you have to behave, not be spontaneous in which a pattern has to be followed, not the overflow of life and energy. That's why the mind thinks and decides everything, because there is danger.
Rajneesh
I have been teaching you all the methods of meditation. You can choose any method that suits you. There are only one hundred and twelve methods there is no possibility of adding more. It is exhaustive. All the methods possible have been explored. The simplest is witnessing.
Rajneesh
The more you are possession oriented, the less happy you will be. The less happy you are, the farther away from the Divine, from prayer, from gratitude you will be. Be austere. Live with the necessary and forget about desires they are fantasies in the mind, ripples in the lake. They only disturb you, they can never lead you to any contentment.
Rajneesh
Who am I? is not really a question because it has no answer to it it is unanswerable. It is a device, not a question.
Rajneesh
Just get out of your own way.
Rajneesh
Start from the body, and then go, slowly slowly, deeper. And don't start with anything else unless you have first solved the primary. If your body is tense, don't start with the mind. Wait. Work on the body. And just small things are of immense help.
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
Anger simply shows that something in you is hurt, some wound is there.
Rajneesh
If you are aware, you speak with awareness. But the awareness comes from the inward being. It flows from the inner being towards others.
Rajneesh
Unless you become alert and aware in life, unless you change the quality of your living, you will not die consciously. And only a conscious death can bring you to a conscious birth and then a far more conscious life opens its doors.
Rajneesh
