I am all in favor of the skeptical mind. Do not believe anything unless you have experienced it. Do not believe anything - go on questioning, however long it takes.

More quotes by Rajneesh
Vegetarianism is a conscious effort, a deliberate effort, to get out of the heaviness that keeps you tethered to the earth so that you can fly - so that the flight from the alone to the alone becomes possible.
Rajneesh
The more mind is filled with chattering, more sex has appeal.
Rajneesh
'I am' is nothing but another name for the ego. Now you will be getting into trouble. If the ego is convinced that the only way is to drop the ego, then who is going to drop whom? And how? It will be like pulling yourself up by your own shoestrings. You will look just silly. Watch each word that you use. 'I am' is nothing but the ego.
Rajneesh
To be present is to be prayerful.
Rajneesh
Real love makes you more of an individual. It does not efface your individuality, it gives you individuality. Real love is very respectful.
Rajneesh
Try to understand the ego. Analyze it, dissect it, watch it, observe it, from as many angles as possible. And don't be in a hurry to sacrifice it, otherwise the greatest egoist is born: the person who thinks he is humble, the person who thinks that he has no ego.
Rajneesh
Intelligence is dangerous. Intelligence means you will start thinking on your own you will start looking around on your own. You will not believe in the scriptures you will believe only in your own experience.
Rajneesh
In the East, all the religions preach egolessness. So in the East, everybody is against the ego from the very beginning.
Rajneesh
Whatever you are doing, don't let past move your minddon't let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet.
Rajneesh
Be - don't try to become.
Rajneesh
You and your brain are two things. The brain is your machinery just like everything else is your machinery. This hand is my mechanism I use it. My brain is my mechanism I use it.
Rajneesh
Life is a continuity always and always. There is no final destination it is going towards. Just the pilgrimage, just the journey in itself is life, not reaching to some point, no goal - just dancing and being in pilgrimage, moving joyously, without bothering about any destination.
Rajneesh
Will power is nothing but another name of ego power. A man of wisdom has no will, just as he has no mind - because to will means to keep yourself separate from existence. It is a little subtle, but try to feel it. The moment you will it means you are always willing against things as they are. You want them to be some other way.
Rajneesh
Life is a balance between rest and movement.
Rajneesh
Awareness means you come with an inner light, you move fully alert. Each step is taken in awareness - the walking, the coming, the sitting - everything is done in full awareness.
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
I am not interested in communicating something to you, I am interested in communion. Communication means my mind talking to your mind. Communion means I am not a mind, you are not a mind - just your heart melting into my heart, no words.
Rajneesh
Attachment is the root cause of all misery - and our mind is such that it starts clinging to each and everything. It starts becoming identified, attached, it does not know how to keep a distance hence the misery.
Rajneesh
In meditation, once you are gone in, you are gone in. Then, even when you resurrect you are a totally different person. The old personality is nowhere to be found. You have to start your life again from abc. You have to learn everything with fresh eyes, with a totally new heart. That's why meditation creates fear.
Rajneesh
Bliss follows witnessing - and that is going to be your meditation. Witness your body as separate, witness your mind as separate. Remain rooted in witnessing: I am only a watcher. That is going to transform your whole life, it is going to give you the ultimate.
Rajneesh
