Zen is not morality, it is aesthetics. It does not impose a code of morality. it does not give you any commandments: do this, don't do that.

More quotes by Rajneesh
Zen has no theory. It is a non-theoretical approach into reality. It has no doctrine and no dogma - hence it has no church, no priest, no pope.
Rajneesh
You become that which you think you are. Or, it is not that you become it, but that the idea gets very deeply rooted and that's what all conditioning is.
Rajneesh
The guru is just trying to help you, to bring you to a point where you can at least surrender the ego. Then a deep ecstasy will happen between you and your master. Wherever there is a `let-go', ecstasy happens - that is the law.
Rajneesh
Don't be bothered by perfection. Replace the word 'Perfection' by 'Totality. Totality will give you a different dimension.
Rajneesh
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously then there will not be any darkness.
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
There is nothing ugly about death but man, out of his fear, has made even the word, death ugly and unutterable. People don't like to talk about it. They won't even listen to the word death.
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
Life is not a tragedy, it is a comedy. To be alive means to have a sense of humor.
Rajneesh
The whole effort of a Jesus or a Buddha or a Bodhidharma is nothing but how to undo that which society has done to you.
Rajneesh
And remember, that is the criterion. If a person can enjoy and celebrate his death, that shows he has lived rightly there is no other criterion. Your death will prove how you have lived.
Rajneesh
It is not a question of sitting silently, it is not a question of chanting a mantra. It is a question of understanding the subtle workings of the mind. As you understand those workings of the mind a great awareness arises in you, which is not of the mind. That awareness arises in your being, in your soul, in your consciousness.
Rajneesh
And this sensitivity will create new friendships for you - friendships with trees, with birds, with animals, with mountains, with rivers, with oceans, with stars. Life becomes richer as love grows.
Rajneesh
Whatsoever you are doing...be double-arrowed.
Rajneesh
Love is not manageable, it is simply something that happens, and the moment you try to manage it everything misfire.
Rajneesh
Your mind is a constant traffic of thoughts, and it is always rush hour, day in, day out. Meditation means to watch the movement of thoughts in the mind.
Rajneesh
All that this world needs is a good cleansing of the heart of all the inhibitions of the past. And laughter and tears can do both. Tears will take out all the agony that is hidden inside you and laughter will take all that is preventing your ecstasy. Once you have learned the art you will be immensely surprised.
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
Getting love is a very small experience. It is the experience of beggar.
Rajneesh
In life you may be poor or rich, but death is the great equalizer. The greatest communism is in death. Howsoever you live, it makes no difference death happens equally. In life, equality is impossible in death, inequality is impossible. Become aware of it, contemplate it.
Rajneesh
