More quotes by Rajneesh
Only in sex the noise sometimes stops. I say sometimes. If you have become habitual in sex also, as husbands and wives become, then it never stops. The whole act becomes automatic and the mind goes on its own. Then sex also is a boredom.
Rajneesh
Man wants two contradictory things together: he wants peace and he is ambitious. It is impossible. If you are ambitious, then your mind is bound to remain restless. If you want peace, then the first requirement is to drop all ambition. Unless you drop ambition you cannot be at ease, at peace, you cannot be relaxed.
Rajneesh
If you clean the floor with love, you have done an invisible painting. Live each moment in such delight that it gives you something inner.
Rajneesh
If you love money and you want to be creative, you cannot become creative. The very ambition for money is going to destroy your creativity. If you want fame, then forget about creativity. Fame comes easier if you are destructive.
Rajneesh
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
The real religion is not imitation of anybody else, it is a search to find out your own authentic self, who you are.
Rajneesh
Nobody else can destroy you except you nobody else can save you except you. You are the Judas and you are the Jesus.
Rajneesh
Unless you become alert and aware in life, unless you change the quality of your living, you will not die consciously. And only a conscious death can bring you to a conscious birth and then a far more conscious life opens its doors.
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
Whatsoever you are waiting for, you are waiting in vain. It is not going to happen, and what is going to happen has nothing to do with your expectations and your desires. You just let it come in don't block the way. Remove yourself out of your own way. This time, with no expectations, no desires, no hopes, just meditate.
Rajneesh
Jealousy is almost like a shadow of love. If we can grow our love, it takes over the whole energy of jealousy and transforms it into love. It is an alchemical change.
Rajneesh
There are a few things that can be done only by experiencing them. Love is one of them. There is no way to learn it you have to do it. And by trial and error one learns.
Rajneesh
Through true love, you touch inner completeness.
Rajneesh
Die each moment so that you are renewed each moment.
Rajneesh
Knowledge is the barrier to knowing. When knowledge is dropped, knowing flowers.
Rajneesh
The western mind is linear, the eastern mind is circular.
Rajneesh
It does not matter whether you paint, sculpt, or make shoes, whether you are a gardener, a farmer, a fisherman, a carpenter-it does not matter. What matters is, are you putting your very soul into what you are creating? Then your creative products have something of the quality of divine.
Rajneesh
Meditate, become more aware and then you will see: choices disappear, a choicelessness arises. And it is such a tremendous joy to have a choiceless spontaneity. It is such a freedom. Choice is such a burden.
Rajneesh
I have been teaching you all the methods of meditation. You can choose any method that suits you. There are only one hundred and twelve methods there is no possibility of adding more. It is exhaustive. All the methods possible have been explored. The simplest is witnessing.
Rajneesh
It is impossible to pursue happiness. Nobody has ever pursued it. One has to wait for it. And it is not a right at all. No law court can force you to be happy or force happiness to be with you. No government violence is capable of making you happy. No power can make you happy.
Rajneesh
