Quote

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.

This is what I mean by becoming religious: no guilt, no ego, no trip of any kind...just being herenow...being with the trees and the birds and the rivers and the mountains and the stars.
Rajneesh
Image
Your ego is just an idea implanted in your mind. It is poisonous. Your ego keeps driving you madder and madder.
Rajneesh
Image
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
Image
When your consciousness becomes a still mirror, a still lake, a silent reservoir of energy, God is reflected in it.
Rajneesh
Image
Zorba is beautiful, but something is missing. The earth is his, but the heaven is missing. He is earthly, rooted, like a giant cedar, but he has no wings. He cannot fly into the sky. He has roots but no wings.
Rajneesh
Image
I am all for love, because love fails. You will be surprised - I have my own logic. I am all for love, because love fails. I am not for marriage, because marriage succeeds it gives you a permanent settlement. And that is the danger: you become satisfied with a toy, you become satisfied with something plastic, artificial, man-made.
Rajneesh
Image
If you really want to create peace on the earth, create peace in your heart, in your being. That is the right place to begin with... and then spread and radiate peace and love.
Rajneesh
Image
Because of Christianity the West has missed many things, and one of them is meditation, the rarest flowering of a human being, because they have made it equivalent to contemplation. Contemplation is thinking. Meditation is no-thinking.
Rajneesh
Image
God is not a person but creativity, not a creator but creativity.
Rajneesh
Image
If you are unconscious, unaware, you are living only in the body, the mortal. And a person who lives for the body, in the body, and only for the body, lives in sin.
Rajneesh
Image
Always choose the new, the less travelled by. Always choose the unknown, the less travelled by.
Rajneesh
Image
Eyes which have lost their tears have lost their most beautiful, their most glorious treasure.
Rajneesh
Image
When you are self-conscious you are in trouble. When you are self-conscious you are really showing symptoms that you don't know who you are. Your very self-consciousness indicates that you have not come home yet.
Rajneesh
Image
Giving love is the real beautiful experience, because then you are an emperor.
Rajneesh
Image
What is envy? It is nothing but passive jealousy. Maybe jealousy is too strong a phenomenon envy is a little passive. The difference may be of degrees, but it is not of quality, it is only of quantity. Envy can become jealousy at any moment envy is just jealousy in progress. Mind has to drop all envies and jealousies.
Rajneesh
Image
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
Image
The heart knows nothing of the past, nothing of the future it knows only of the present.
Rajneesh
Image
First the husband tried to make the wife his possession, and once she is a possession he loses interest. There is some hidden logic in it: his whole interet was to possess now that is finished, and he would like to try some other woman so he can again go on another trip of possesion.
Rajneesh

Watch,witness,observe your thoughts-without any judgement,without any condemnation or evaluation.
Rajneesh
Image
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
