There is only one courage and that is the courage to go on dying to the past, not to collect it, not to accumulate it, not to cling to it. We all cling to the past and because we cling to the past we become unavailable to the present.
Rajneesh

More quotes by Rajneesh
When desiring ceases, the other world opens. The other world is hidden in this world. But because your eyes are full of desire, full of the ego, you cannot see it.
Rajneesh
Two persons can be very loving together. The more loving they are, the less is the possibility of any relationship. The more loving they are, the more freedom exists between them. The more loving they are, the less is the possibility of any demand, any domination, any expectation. And naturally, there is no question of any frustration
Rajneesh
This is what enlightenment is all about - a deep understanding that there is no problem. Then, with no problem to solve, what will you do? Immediately you start living. You will eat, you will sleep, you will love, you will work, you will have a chit-chat, you will sing, you will dance - what else is there to do?
Rajneesh
The moment you enter into the world of words you start falling away from that which is. The more you enter into language, the farther you are away from existence.
Rajneesh
Enlightenment is when all hope disappears. Enlightenment is disappearance of hope.
Rajneesh
I am here be nourished by me. Eat me, drink me be nourished by me. Let me become a part of your being, then I will be available forever and forever. There is no other way.
Rajneesh
First the body has to become utterly relaxed, like a small child, then only start with the mind. Move scientifically: first the simplest, then the complex, then the more complex. And then only can you relax at the ultimate core.
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
Yes, it is better to look from the window than not to look at all, but to look through the window cannot be compared to the windowless sky.
Rajneesh
At its highest, love is a religious state of consciousness. I love you too, Buddha loves, Jesus loves, but their love demands nothing in return.
Rajneesh
Only a fulfilled heart can pray, because only a fulfilled heart can be grateful and can feel the grace descending.
Rajneesh
Truth is not to be found outside. No teacher, no scripture can give it to you. It is inside you and if you wish to attain it, seek your own company. Be with yourself.
Rajneesh
Religion is not a result of something that you practice. Religion enters in you any moment you relax. Religion is a flowering of relaxation, not a result of practicing. Remember the difference because when you practice you become more tense.
Rajneesh
Respect man, love man. Respect his individuality, respect his differences. And that is possible only if you respect your individuality. That is possible only if you are grounded in your own being and you are unafraid.
Rajneesh
Don't look for God in the sky look within your own body.
Rajneesh
Love is a wine you have to taste it, you have to drink it, you have to become drunk with it, only then do you know what it is.
Rajneesh
Life as such has to be taken as a cosmic joke - and then suddenly you relax because there is nothing to be tense about. And in that very relaxation something starts changing in you - a radical change, a transformation - and the small things of life starts having new meaning, new significance. One learns only one thing, how to rejoice in life.
Rajneesh
Awareness is an inner quality of consciousness it has nothing to do with closed or open eyes.
Rajneesh
Truth cannot be defined, although it can certainly be experienced. But experience is not a definition. A definition is made by the mind, experience comes through participating. If somebody asks, What is a dance? how can you define it? But you can dance and you can know the inner feel of it. God is the ultimate dance.
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
