Religion is consciousness-raising. It raises you higher than the problem, it gives you a bird's-eye view.

More quotes by Rajneesh
A deep inner emptiness is needed that inner emptiness becomes the womb. So I`m not saying stop doing, stop action I`m not saying that. I am saying that whatsoever you are doing, let it be just an outside activity. Inside become feminine, silent, doors opened, empty, waiting.
Rajneesh
Life as such has to be taken as a cosmic joke - and then suddenly you relax because there is nothing to be tense about. And in that very relaxation something starts changing in you - a radical change, a transformation - and the small things of life starts having new meaning, new significance. One learns only one thing, how to rejoice in life.
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
This is what I mean by becoming religious: no guilt, no ego, no trip of any kind...just being herenow...being with the trees and the birds and the rivers and the mountains and the stars.
Rajneesh
I am here to help you to be total wherever you are in whatsoever state you are - live that state totally. It is only in living a thing totally that one transcends it.
Rajneesh
Don't be attached to the things of the world, and don't be attached to the things of the other world, because things are things. It makes no difference whether they are of this world or the other world - attachment is the problem.
Rajneesh
Your mind is a constant traffic of thoughts, and it is always rush hour, day in, day out. Meditation means to watch the movement of thoughts in the mind.
Rajneesh
Love is a wine you have to taste it, you have to drink it, you have to become drunk with it, only then do you know what it is.
Rajneesh
Heaven and hell are not geographical, they are psychological, they are your psychology.
Rajneesh
Religion has only one answer and that answer is meditation. And meditation means how to empty yourself.
Rajneesh
Worship the Silent Space in you.
Rajneesh
Guilt simply says that you are a sinner. And the feeling of shame simply shows you that you need not be a sinner, that you are meant to be a saint. If you are a sinner it is only because of your unconsciousness you are not a sinner because the society follows a certain morality and you are not following it.
Rajneesh
Meditation is the breath of your soul. Just as breathing is the life of the body, meditation is the life of the soul.
Rajneesh
In the East we call this state meditation: no belief, no thought, no desire, no prejudice, no conditioning - in fact, no mind at all. A state of no-mind is meditation. When you can look without any mind interfering, distorting, interpreting, then you see the truth. The truth is already all around just you have to put your mind aside.
Rajneesh
The process of meditation does not take you to some new world it only introduces you to the world where you have been for lives upon lives. The process of meditation does not add anything to you it only takes away what is wrong, cuts it away, sheds it off.
Rajneesh
Misery nourishes your ego - that's why you see so many miserable people in the world. The basic, central point is the ego.
Rajneesh
Meditation is simply a strange surgical method that cuts you away from all that is not yours and saves only that which is your authentic being.
Rajneesh
Creativity means you have to disappear, you have to allow God to be.
Rajneesh
The more mind is filled with chattering, more sex has appeal.
Rajneesh
Unless you drop your personality you will not be able to find your individuality. Individuality is given by existence personality is imposed by the society.
Rajneesh
