Zen is a totally different kind of religion. It brings humanness to religion. It is not bothered about anything superhuman its whole concern is how to make ordinary life a blessing.

More quotes by Rajneesh
The ego is exploitation love is service. And the service that flows from love, freely and spontaneously, is non-violence.
Rajneesh
Marriage is a formality, a legal bondage. Love is of the heart marriage is of the mind. That's why I am never in favor of marriage.
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
A man who loves himself takes the first step towards real love.
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
Belief is like plastic flowers, which look like flowers from far away. Trust is real rose. It has roots, and roots go deep into your heart and into your being.
Rajneesh
To me there is nothing more sacred than love and laughter, and there is nothing more prayerful than playfulness.
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
Experience life in all possible ways -- good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light, summer-winter. Experience all the dualities. Don't be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become.
Rajneesh
If you clean the floor with love, you have done an invisible painting. Live each moment in such delight that it gives you something inner.
Rajneesh
All that is great cannot be possessed - and that is one of the most foolish things man goes on doing. We want to possess.
Rajneesh
Mind cannot think without duality. Duality is the way of thinking. In silence, all dualities disappear.
Rajneesh
I am not saying renounce sex, I am saying transform it. It need not remain just biological: bring some spirituality to it. While making love, meditate too. While making love, be prayerful. Love should not be just a physical act pour your soul into it.
Rajneesh
My meditation is a method of being aware - of whatever you are doing, thinking, feeling.
Rajneesh
Happiness happens when you fit with your life, when you fit so harmoniously that whatsoever you are doing is your joy. Then suddenly you will come to know: meditation follows you. If you love the work that you are doing, if you love the way you are living, then you are meditative.
Rajneesh
[M]ental peace is not meditation. Meditation is the flight beyond the mind. It has nothing to do with mental peace.
Rajneesh
If you live with unhealthy people, to be healthy is dangerous. If you live with insane people, then to be sane is dangerous. If you live in a madhouse, even if you are not mad at least pretend that you are mad otherwise those mad people will kill you.
Rajneesh
To be unattached is not to renounce the world. If you renounce the world you are attached to the world otherwise why should you renounce it? What is the point in renouncing it if you are not attached to it? Only attachment renounces. If you are really non-attached there is no question of any renunciation.
Rajneesh
If you ask Zen people they will say tea is not something that you pour with unawareness and drink like any other drink. It is not a drink, it is meditation it is prayer. So they listen to the kettle creating a melody, and in that listening they become more silent, more alert.
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
