More quotes by Rajneesh
And through meditation comes wisdom - not through studying books, not through scriptures. Through scriptures one can become knowledgeable but no wise. and knowledgeable people are sad, they are bound to be sad because all their knowledge is borrowed. There can be no song in it.
Rajneesh
Nobody asked you about being born, nobody is going to ask you when the time comes for you to be taken away. Then why be worried? Birth happened to you death will happen to you who are you to come in between?
Rajneesh
I want my people to understand that because only man is capable to laugh, that means laughter is the highest point of consciousness, the highest point of understanding, the highest point of evolution. That's why I have started calling laughter the prayer time.
Rajneesh
You will come closer and closer to perfection, but you will never be perfect. Perfection is not the way of existence. Growth is the way.
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
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
In the East, all the religions preach egolessness. So in the East, everybody is against the ego from the very beginning.
Rajneesh
If you go on condemning, your condemnation shows that somewhere there is a wound, and you are feeling jealous - because without jealousy there can be no condemnation. You condemn people because somehow, somewhere, unconsciously you feel they are enjoying themselves and you have missed.
Rajneesh
Miss the present and you live in boredom. BE in the present and you will be surprised that there is no boredom at all. Start by looking around a little more like a child. Be a child again! That's what meditation is all about: being a child again - a rebirth, being innocent again, not-knowing.
Rajneesh
Whatever you do, do with deep alertness, then even small things become sacred.
Rajneesh
Love never hurts anybody. And if you feel you have been hurt by love, it is something else in you, not your loving quality that feels hurt.
Rajneesh
Drop the fear. Fear was taken up by you in your childhood, unconsciously. Now consciously drop it and be mature. Then the life can be a light which goes on deepening as you go on growing.
Rajneesh
Religion can be condensed in a single phrase: total freedom to be oneself.
Rajneesh
Find ecstasy within yourself. It is not out there. It is in your innermost flowering. The one you are looking for is you.
Rajneesh
You want a love which is born out of meditation, not born out of the mind.
Rajneesh
Be in relaxation a few moments. It can be any kind of situations - swimming in the river, relax with the river, or sunning on the beach, relax with the sun - anything. Life is full of opportunities.
Rajneesh
The authentic religion teaches you to discover your immortality, to discover the god within you.
Rajneesh
Love is the lotus, lust is the mud the lotus arises out of.
Rajneesh
The body has to be looked after: one has to be very caring about the body and very loving to the body. And then, its very spontaneity purifies it, makes it holy.
Rajneesh
Through true love, you touch inner completeness.
Rajneesh
