The Truth Is That Existence Wants Your Life To Become A Festival Because When You Are Unhappy, You Also Throw Unhappiness All Around.
Rajneesh
Misery nourishes your ego - that's why you see so many miserable people in the world. The basic, central point is the ego.
Rajneesh
If you live with alertness, you live rightly. If you live in imitation, you live wrongly. To me there is only one sin: And that is not to be yourself. And to me there is only one virtue: And that is to know yourself.
Rajneesh
Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.
Rajneesh
Anger is temporary madness.
Rajneesh
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
Love and respect yourself and never compromise for anything. And then you will be surprised how much growth starts happening of its own accord.. as if rocks have been removed and the river has started flowing.
Rajneesh
Doing brings ego. Ego is the shadow of action. And there is only one thing that is not doing and that is awareness, watchfulness. The only thing that is not part of the world of action is pure awareness. No shadow is created by pure awareness. It is so pure that light can pass through it - it is transparent and no shadow is created.
Rajneesh
Logic ridicules love, and love smiles knowingly at the whole foolishness of logic.
Rajneesh
Anybody who says that love is a hindrance on the path of self-realization is not a sage.
Rajneesh
Once two persons are tied together freedom is lost and anger arises. When freedom is lost everything becomes ugly. Love means that freedom remains intact: marriage means that freedom has been dropped. You have bargained for permanence, for security, and you have paid for it with freedom.
Rajneesh
Tantra is the science of transforming ordinary lovers into soul mates. And that is the grandeur of Tantra. It can transform the whole earth it can transform each couple into soul mates.
Rajneesh
From birth to death you go on living, groping in darkness with no light - and you could have created the light. You cannot find it in the scriptures nobody can hand it to you. It is not purchased or sold it is nontransferable. But you can create it - you can put all your energies together. You can start living consciously from this very moment.
Rajneesh
Zen is the only religion in the world that teaches sudden enlightenment. It says that enlightenment takes no time, it can happen in a single, split second.
Rajneesh
Medicine heals the body, meditation heals the soul. Medicine is outwardly, meditation is inwardly. And man is whole only when medicine and meditation are together in deep harmony.
Rajneesh
As you are now you are just a liquid phenomenon, changing every moment, nothing stable. Really you cannot claim any I -- you don't have one. You are many Is just in a flow, a riverlike flow. You are a crowd, not an individual yet. But meditation can make you an individual.
Rajneesh
God is your very being. So the first thing is, don't think about enlightenment as a goal.
Rajneesh
But everybody is afraid of death that too is contagious. Your parents are afraid of death, your neighbors are afraid of death. Small children start getting infected by this constant fear all around. Everybody is afraid of death. People don't even want to talk about death.
Rajneesh
When a man's life becomes poetry, becomes a song, becomes a work of art, a creativity, he has become a sannyasin. Whether he knows it or not, it does not matter. The word 'sannyas' does not matter what matters is the content.
Rajneesh
Art for art's sake, and creation for creation's sake, and love for love's sake
Rajneesh
