You have to drop all your defenses, only then is intimacy possible. We are all hiding a thousand and on things, not only from others but from ourselves.

More quotes by Rajneesh
The experience of bliss will give you an insight into the very phenomenon of beauty. Not only does it make you beautiful, it suddenly transforms the whole world. The whole world becomes beautiful because the world reflects you, it is a mirror.
Rajneesh
Yes, it is better to look from the window than not to look at all, but to look through the window cannot be compared to the windowless sky.
Rajneesh
Do not cling to anything, to any idea because clinging is the bondage, even to the idea of enlightenment.
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 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
Each individual`s way is going to be different. Never follow anybody. That is the greatest calamity that can happen to a man. Once you start following somebody else, you become a carbon copy. You become an imitation.
Rajneesh
Enlightenment is always through surrender, but surrender is achieved through intelligence. Only idiots cannot surrender. To surrender you need great intelligence. To see the point of surrender is the climax of insight to see the point that you are not separate from existence is the highest that intelligence can give to you.
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
Your honesty, Your love, Your compassion should come from your inner being, not from teachings and scriptures.
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
Zen lives in the present. The Whole teaching is: how to be in the present how to get out of the past which is no more and how not to get involved in the future which is not yet, and just to be rooted, centered, in that which is.
Rajneesh
So awareness and enjoying this life can grow together simultaneously. And this is my vision of the whole man.
Rajneesh
All the buddhas of all the ages have been telling you a very simple fact: Be — don´t try to become. Within these two words, be and becoming, your whole life is contained. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance. Osho
Rajneesh
One has to love unconditionally - the trees and the rocks and the sun and the moon and the people.
Rajneesh
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.
Rajneesh
I am here to help you unburden all your guilt feelings. I am here to help you to start trusting yourself again. Once you start trusting your own being, no politician, no priest can exploit you. Man is always exploited through fear.
Rajneesh
Zen is non-serious. Zen has a tremendous sense of humor. No other religion has evolved so much that it can have that sense of humor.
Rajneesh
Meditation is the art of living with yourself. It is nothing else than that, simply that: the art of being joyously alone. A meditator can sit joyously alone for months, for years. He does not hanker for the other, because his own inner ecstasy is so much, is so overpowering, that who bothers about the other?
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
To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic.
Rajneesh
