Zen is non-serious. Zen has a tremendous sense of humor. No other religion has evolved so much that it can have that sense of humor.

More quotes by Rajneesh
Spirituality belongs to the eternal, and religion belongs to the temporal. Religion belongs to people's behavior. It is really what Pavlov, Skinner, Delgado and others call a conditioning of the behavior. The child is brought up by Christians - then he is conditioned in one way, he becomes a Christian.
Rajneesh
Just look at life with more playful eyes. Don't be serious. Seriousness becomes like a blindness. Don't pretend to be a thinker, a philosopher. Just simply be a human being. The whole world is showering its joy on you in so many ways, but if you are too serious, you cannot open your heart.
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
Attachment is misery, but from the very beginning the child is taught for attachment. The mother will say to the child, Love me I am your mother. The father will say, Love me I am your father - as if someone is a father or a mother so he becomes automatically lovable.
Rajneesh
I live my life based on 2 principles. One, I live as if today was my last day on earth. Two, I live today as if I am going to live forever.
Rajneesh
The man who is egoless is the man who has no ideals. Let this be the criterion, and you have stumbled upon a fundamental. The man of no ego is the man of no ideals. Then how can the ego be created? - the very energy is missing. The energy comes out of friction, conflict, struggle, will.
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
The western mind is linear, the eastern mind is circular.
Rajneesh
Coming to the master is coming in search of your innocence, in search of your lost childhood, in search of your originality... in search of your individuality, in search of freedom.
Rajneesh
You can go on changing the outer for lives and you will never be satisfied.
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
Why do people hanker for the home? - security, safety. But in the name of security and safety, they don't make homes, they make prisons - and they are the jailed and they are the jailers, but because they have the keys in their own hands, they think they are free.
Rajneesh
Remember, meditation will bring you more and more intelligence, infinite intelligence, a radiant intelligence. Meditation will make you more alive and sensitive your life will become richer
Rajneesh
To be aflame with silence, with joy, is wisdom. It is not through logic but through love. It is not through words but through a wordless state called meditation or a state of no-mind, satori, samadhi.
Rajneesh
You will find meaning in life only if you create it.It is a poetry to be composed. It is a song to be sung.It is a dance to be danced.
Rajneesh
My people. I have given them a sense of individuality, integrity. I have not made them slaves of any god or any religion. Nor of any holy book or any priest. I have certainly not replaced their god. They are all a part of what I call my traveling circus.
Rajneesh
Respect Life and Life will respect You. Love Life and Love will shower Blessings on You.
Rajneesh
All methods of meditation are nothing but methods to help you to remember the art of let-go.
Rajneesh
God cannot be an object. It is deepest depth of your own being. How can you see it.
Rajneesh
I have been teaching you all the methods of meditation. You can choose any method that suits you. There are only one hundred and twelve methods there is no possibility of adding more. It is exhaustive. All the methods possible have been explored. The simplest is witnessing.
