Meditation is simply a strange surgical method that cuts you away from all that is not yours and saves only that which is your authentic being.

More quotes by Rajneesh
But we are such deceivers that we will not look at ourselves in relationship, because there the real face can be seen. So we close our eyes to relationship, and we go on thinking that something is going to be seen inside. You cannot see anything inside.
Rajneesh
If you cannot love yourself, you don't know even the taste of love or what love means.
Rajneesh
Die! Die to the ego, die to your past, and you will be resurrected. That resurrection will make you go beyond death, beyond time, beyond misery.
Rajneesh
Be loving towards yourself, then you will be able to love others too.
Rajneesh
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.
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
All your knowledge is dust. Knowing is your purity, knowledge is dust.
Rajneesh
Anybody who says that love is a hindrance on the path of self-realization is not a sage.
Rajneesh
Sinners live in a sort of hell, and saints imagine themselves in a sort of heaven. And the sage? - for him it is moksha, for him it is the absolute freedom. He is freed from all duality. The secret key, and the only key, is awareness.
Rajneesh
Truth is not found by knowledge, it is found by silence. And knowledge is noisy.
Rajneesh
Truth cannot be defined, although it can certainly be experienced. But experience is not a definition. A definition is made by the mind, experience comes through participating. If somebody asks, What is a dance? how can you define it? But you can dance and you can know the inner feel of it. God is the ultimate dance.
Rajneesh
Who is a god? A god is one who has learned the secret of being happy with the whole universe, with every flower and with every river and with every rock and every star who has become one with this continuous eternal celebration who celebrates, who doesn't bother whose celebration this is. And wherever there is a celebration, he participates.
Rajneesh
I don't teach vegetarianism it is a by-product of meditation. Wherever meditation has happened, people have become vegetarian, always, for thousands of years.
Rajneesh
Meditation is the breath of your soul. Just as breathing is the life of the body, meditation is the life of the soul.
Rajneesh
Meditation is neither of the body nor of the mind, but belongs to the third within you—your being.
Rajneesh
The ego does not, cannot live in the present, because the present is real and the ego is false - they never meet.
Rajneesh
To be able to celebrate life is religion. In that very celebration you come close to God. If one is able to celebrate, God is not far away if one is not able to celebrate life, then God does not exist for him. God appears only in deep celebration, when you are so full of joy that all misery has left you, all darkness has left you.
Rajneesh
Zen says: be empty. Look without any idea. Look into the nature of things but with no idea, with no prejudice, with no presupposition.
Rajneesh
When you open up to the ultimate, immediately it pours into you. You are no longer an ordinary human being - you have transcended. Your insight has become the insight of the whole existence. Now you are no longer separate - you have found your roots.
Rajneesh
Life is not static. If life were static there would be no need for meditation. The mind would do. Then you could think, and whenever, after many lives, you knocked at the door, the girl would be waiting for you. But life is a flux, a movement. Every moment it is changing and becoming new. If you miss a moment, you have missed.
Rajneesh
