More quotes by 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
It is beautiful to be alone, it is also beautiful to to be in love, to be with people. And they are complementary, not contradictory.
Rajneesh
The freedom from something is not true freedom. The freedom to do anything you want to do is also not the freedom I am talking about. My vision of freedom is to be yourself.
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
When you feel angry, there is no need to be angry against someone just be angry. Let it be a meditation. Close the room, sit by yourself, and let the anger come up as much as it can. If you feel like beating, beat a pillow.
Rajneesh
Drop the mind and the divine. God is not an object, it is a merger. The mind resists a merger, the mind is against surrender the mind is very cunning and calculating.
Rajneesh
People say love is blind because they do not know what love is. I say unto you, only love has eyes other than love, everything is blind.
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
The ordinary marriage is an unconscious bondage: you cannot live alone so you become dependent on the other the other cannot live alone so he or she becomes dependent on you. And we hate the person on which we are dependent nobody likes to depend on anybody. Our deepest desire is to have freedom, total freedom - and dependence is against freedom.
Rajneesh
Bring everything up to the surface. Accept your humanity, your animality. Whatsoever is there, accept it without any condemnation. Acceptance is transformation, because through acceptance awareness becomes possible.
Rajneesh
'I am' is nothing but another name for the ego. Now you will be getting into trouble. If the ego is convinced that the only way is to drop the ego, then who is going to drop whom? And how? It will be like pulling yourself up by your own shoestrings. You will look just silly. Watch each word that you use. 'I am' is nothing but the ego.
Rajneesh
Whatever you are doing, don't let past move your minddon't let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet.
Rajneesh
Just think: you cannot find a single misery for which you are not responsible. It may be jealousy, it may be anger, it may be greed - but something in you must be the reason that is creating the misery.
Rajneesh
All methods of meditation are nothing but methods to help you to remember the art of let-go.
Rajneesh
In the East a man becomes divine only when he is no longer jealous, a man is thought to be enlightened only when he is no longer jealous. Jealousy is a by-product of the ego and when the ego disappears jealousy disappears. You cannot offend a buddha. Whatsoever you do you cannot offend him.
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
Destroying something, any idiot can do. Creating needs intelligence.
Rajneesh
That is one of the great secrets of life, that life is a movement. And if you are stuck somewhere you lose contact with life.
Rajneesh
Remember: ego can create misery, ego can create anguish, ego can create hate, ego can create jealousy. Ego can never become a vehicle for the divine, it can never become the passage for the beyond.
Rajneesh
There are a few activities which are immensely valuable: laughter is one of these activities. Singing, dancing, are also of the same quality, but laughter is the quickest.
Rajneesh
