That is one of the great secrets of life, that life is a movement. And if you are stuck somewhere you lose contact with life.

More quotes by Rajneesh
All alternatives are open. Choose to be blissful. And then there are people who can be blissful even when they are imprisoned, and there are people who remain miserable even when they are living in marble palaces. It all depends on you.
Rajneesh
It all depends on you. You can go on sleeping forever, you can wake up right this moment.
Rajneesh
The word 'sin' is beautiful it comes from a root which means 'forgetfulness'. You may not be able to see the connection between forgetfulness and sin, but there IS a connection: forgetfulness means unawareness, unconsciousness.
Rajneesh
I can understand you are really in a mess and there is no way out. I have heard that there are three rings of love: the engagement ring, the wedding ring and the suffer-ring.
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
Celebration is not because some desire is fulfilled - because no desire is ever fulfilled. Desire as such cannot be fulfilled. Desire is only a way to avoid the present moment. Desire creates the future and takes you far away. Desire is a drug it keeps you stoned, it does not allow you to see the reality - that which is herenow.
Rajneesh
You can change your attachment from this to that, but you will be in misery. Attachment creates misery.
Rajneesh
Look deep into your throbbing life and you will find the quality of the divine. You will not find a God but you will find a godliness, a truth, an awakening, a buddha.
Rajneesh
Buddha introduced the idea that young people should become sannyasins. Then it is something significant. When a young person goes beyond sex, when a young person goes beyond desires, when a young person goes beyond greed, ambition, the longing to be powerful, the ambition to be famous, then it is something tremendously meaningful, significant.
Rajneesh
But then you become closed. Then you start dying as far as your intelligence is concerned because intelligence needs the open sky, the wind, the air, the sun in order to grow, to expand, to flow. To remain alive it needs a constant flow if it becomes stagnant it becomes slowly slowly a dead phenomenon.
Rajneesh
Freedom is not to be destroyed in the name of love. Freedom is a far higher value than your so-called love.
Rajneesh
No thought, no mind, no choice — just being silent, rooted in yourself.
Rajneesh
The family gives you ambition, and ambition is one of the hindrances for enlightenment. It gives you desires, it gives you a longing to be successful, and all these things create your tensions, your anxieties: how to be a celebrity?
Rajneesh
Through meditation one discovers one's own light. That light you can call your soul, your self, your God—whatsoever word you choose—or you can remain just silent because it has no name. It is a nameless experience, tremendously beautiful, ecstatic, utterly silent, but it gives you the taste of eternity, of timelessness, of something beyond death.
Rajneesh
No, explanation is not needed - only exclamation, a wondering heart, awakened, surprised, feeling the mystery of life each moment. Then, and only then, you know what truth is. And truth liberates.
Rajneesh
It has happened, women have helped their husbands, sacrificed their whole lives, never thought about themselves. Their surrender, their devotion to their lovers has been total. In this totality, they have achieved before their lover has.
Rajneesh
The ordinary marriage is an unconscious bondage: you cannot live alone so you become dependent on the other the other cannot live alone so he or she becomes dependent on you. And we hate the person on which we are dependent nobody likes to depend on anybody. Our deepest desire is to have freedom, total freedom - and dependence is against freedom.
Rajneesh
When I say be creative I don't mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.
Rajneesh
Logic ridicules love, and love smiles knowingly at the whole foolishness of logic.
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
