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
In the name of celibacy, sex has been repressed for centuries and you have become just full of sexuality. Rather than transcending it you are boiling within.
Rajneesh
Live without expectations and there will be no frustration.
Rajneesh
When one is total, life flowers - and that flowering is spirituality. Spirituality is not an attitude, it is not a discipline. It is an outcome of a life lived totally, joyfully, delightfully of a life of no complaint of a life lived courageously, intensely. Then this flowering happens.
Rajneesh
Don't be angry at life. It is not life that is frustrating you, it is you who are not listening to life.
Rajneesh
In the East, all the religions preach egolessness. So in the East, everybody is against the ego from the very beginning.
Rajneesh
Every child is so helpless - just to survive he has to be political, he has to accept whatsoever the parents are saying.
Rajneesh
The present gives you the opportunity to dive deep into the water of life, or to fly high into the sky of life. But on both the sides there are dangers - 'past' and ´future´ are the most dangerous words in human language.
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
Marriage is an institution that teaches a man regularity, frugality, temperance, forbearance and many other splendid virtues he would not need had he stayed single.
Rajneesh
If this is understood then things become very clear. Misery makes you special. Happiness is a universal phenomenon, there is nothing special about it.
Rajneesh
Your desires are immense, almost infinite. Because of your desires life becomes a competition, and wherever there is competition, there is anxiety and angst and at the end everybody is aware deep down there is death.
Rajneesh
No, I don't want to give my people sticks. I want to give them eyes.
Rajneesh
The ego is nothing but condensed unawareness. When you become aware by and by that condensed unawareness we call 'ego' disappears. Just as if you bring a lamp into the room - and the darkness disappears. Awareness is the lamp, the lamp we were talking about the first day. Be a lamp unto yourself.
Rajneesh
Vegetarianism is a conscious effort, a deliberate effort, to get out of the heaviness that keeps you tethered to the earth so that you can fly - so that the flight from the alone to the alone becomes possible.
Rajneesh
It is impossible to pursue happiness. Nobody has ever pursued it. One has to wait for it. And it is not a right at all. No law court can force you to be happy or force happiness to be with you. No government violence is capable of making you happy. No power can make you happy.
Rajneesh
Love is an infinite sky!
Rajneesh
I love, because my love is not dependent on the object of love. My love is dependent on my state of being. So whether the other person changes, becomes different, friend turns into a foe, does not matter, because my love was never dependent on the other person. My love is my state of being. I simply love.
Rajneesh
Be a loving person rather than in a love relationship - because relationships happen one day and disappear another day. They are flowers in the morning they bloom, by the evening they are gone.
Rajneesh
As long as the I is there, love cannot be. All that we call love is only desire, longing, passion and attachment as long as ego is there, all these bind one.
Rajneesh
What is wrong with enjoying yourself? What is wrong in being happy? If there is anything wrong it is always in your unhappiness, because an unhappy person creates ripples of unhappiness all around him. Be happy!
Rajneesh
