Zen is not effort. Effort is tension, effort is work, effort is to achieve something. Zen is not something to achieve. You are already that. Just relax, relax so deeply that you become a revelation to yourself.

More quotes by Rajneesh
The mind always hankers for more and more. If you have money, it hankers for more money if you have prestige, it hankers for more prestige if you have knowledge, it hankers for more knowledge. Mind lives in the 'more.'
Rajneesh
I would like the whole world to be full of feminine qualities. Then only can wars disappear.
Rajneesh
Man is always exploited through fear.
Rajneesh
While one is asleep one cannot do anything that is good. Virtue is impossible in unconsciousness, only sin is possible. Unconsciousness is the source of sin.
Rajneesh
Meditation is enough. Everything else follows on its own.
Rajneesh
The authentic pagan has no need of religion because, whatever religion can provide, he already has it.
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
Live without expectations and there will be no frustration.
Rajneesh
Meditation means to be in non-doing. Meditation is not a doing but a state of being. It is a state of being in one's own self.
Rajneesh
When you feel angry, there is no need to be angry against someone just be angry. Let it be a meditation. Close the room, sit by yourself, and let the anger come up as much as it can. If you feel like beating, beat a pillow.
Rajneesh
Life is a balance between rest and movement.
Rajneesh
To be alone and to be drunk with your own aloneness is what meditation is all about. Be in the world, but don't be of it.
Rajneesh
Sin is a technique of the pseudo-religions. A true religion has no need of the concept at all. The pseudo-religion cannot live without the concept of sin, because sin is the technique of creating guilt in people.
Rajneesh
Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.
Rajneesh
It was Heraclitus' ideas that seized Nietzsche so totally that he became completely mad.
Rajneesh
Drop the mind and the divine. God is not an object, it is a merger. The mind resists a merger, the mind is against surrender the mind is very cunning and calculating.
Rajneesh
Life is not a tragedy, it is a comedy. To be alive means to have a sense of humor.
Rajneesh
Mind is a door that leads you outside in the world meditation is the door that leads you to your interiority - to the very innermost shrine of your being.
Rajneesh
Relationship is the need of those who cannot be alone. Two alone persons relate, communicate, commune, and yet they remain alone.
Rajneesh
Through meditation one discovers one's own light. That light you can call your soul, your self, your God—whatsoever word you choose—or you can remain just silent because it has no name. It is a nameless experience, tremendously beautiful, ecstatic, utterly silent, but it gives you the taste of eternity, of timelessness, of something beyond death.
Rajneesh
