Quote

Even great travelers of the inner world have got stuck in beautiful experiences, and have become identified with those experiences, thinking, I have found myself. They have stopped before reaching the final stage where all experiences disappear. Enlightenment is not an experience.

Why wait for reasons to laugh? Life as it is should be reason enough to laugh. It is so absurd, it is so ridiculous. It is so beautiful, so wonderful! It is all sorts of things together. It is a great cosmic jokе.
Rajneesh
Image
From birth to death you go on living, groping in darkness with no light - and you could have created the light. You cannot find it in the scriptures nobody can hand it to you. It is not purchased or sold it is nontransferable. But you can create it - you can put all your energies together. You can start living consciously from this very moment.
Rajneesh
Image
They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then think as much as you want!
Rajneesh
Image
By and by... there are more and more gaps of silence. Through those gaps, windows will open to the divine.
Rajneesh
Image
I am less interested in your chain-smoking I am more interested in your habit. Any habit that becomes a force, a dominating force over you, is a sin. One should live more in freedom. One should be able to do things not according to habits but according to the situations.
Rajneesh
Image
All duality is a mind creation, all duality is created by the clinging and attached mind. When there is no attachment there is no duality.
Rajneesh
Image
Become more watchful and anger will be less and greed will be less and jealousy will be less.
Rajneesh
Image
So I am not teaching you to be good, I am not teaching you to be bad I am teaching you only to be whole. To be whole is to be healthy and to be healthy is to be holy.
Rajneesh
Image
When a man's life becomes poetry, becomes a song, becomes a work of art, a creativity, he has become a sannyasin. Whether he knows it or not, it does not matter. The word 'sannyas' does not matter what matters is the content.
Rajneesh
Image
NOW is the only reality. All else is either memory or imagination.
Rajneesh
Image
Meditation should not be a thing apart from life it should be amidst life, it should be a part of life an organic part, nothing 'put separate'. The temple should exist exactly in the middle of the market, and all distinctions between the sacred and the secular should be dissolved.
Rajneesh
Image
To remain absolutely free is what a true and authentic life is. So never gather any character - remain characterless.
Rajneesh
Image
Spirituality belongs to the eternal, and religion belongs to the temporal. Religion belongs to people's behavior. It is really what Pavlov, Skinner, Delgado and others call a conditioning of the behavior. The child is brought up by Christians - then he is conditioned in one way, he becomes a Christian.
Rajneesh
Image
Be ordinary, but bring a quality of awareness to your ordinary life. Bring God to your ordinary life introduce God into your ordinary life. Sleep, eat, love, pray, meditate, but don’t think that you are making or doing something special—and then you will be special.
Rajneesh
Image
I teach you celebration. And laughter has certainly to be one of the major ingredients in this celebration.
Rajneesh
Image
Remain in wonder if you want the mysteries to open up for you.
Rajneesh
Image
Just try walking very slowly, and you will be surprised - a new quality of awareness starts happening in the body. Eat slowly, and you will be surprised - there is great relaxation. Do everything slowly... just to change the old pattern, just to come out of old habits.
Rajneesh
Image
Only very few people are born with awareness. Those are the people who die in awareness. If the death was conscious, then the birth will be conscious, because the death is the one side and the birth is the other side of the same coin.
Rajneesh
Image
I say with my own authority that if you go on questioning without accepting anybody's answer, including mine, by and by you will find that the answer is not found but the question disappears.

A woman is more humble, more grateful, more loving.
