Text Quotes
Misery nourishes your ego - that’s why you see so many miserable people in the world. The basic, central point is the ego  (Rajneesh Quotes) Life is a continuity always and always. There is no final destination it is going towards. Just the pilgrimage, just the journey in itself is life, not reaching to some point, no goal - just dancing and being in pilgrimage, moving joyously, without bothering about any destination  (Rajneesh Quotes) The past is not clinging to you; YOU are clinging to the past. Once you are not clinging, the past simply EVAPORATES!  (Rajneesh Quotes) Sipping a cup of tea, going for a morning walk, doing your work - all these small activities make up your living. And each part, each moment of living, is meaningful. You just have to be there; otherwise, who is going to experience the meaning? People go on drinking tea, but they never are there; their minds are wandering all over the world  (Rajneesh Quotes) Boredom has been used as a technique, it is a device. In Zen, boredom is used as a device: you are bored to death, and you are not allowed to escape. You are not to go outside, you are not to entertain yourself, you are not to do, you are not to talk, you are not to read novels and detective stories. No thrill. No possibility to escape anywhere  (Rajneesh Quotes) 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 Quotes) Your question makes it clear that you have not understood what I mean when I say, ‘Don’t surrender to a person, surrender to love.’ And love is never a relationship; this is your problem. Relationship is bound to be a bondage. In relationship either you have to surrender or the other has to surrender  (Rajneesh Quotes) Freedom is not to be destroyed in the name of love. Freedom is a far higher value than your so-called love  (Rajneesh Quotes) Love respects the other. It is a give-and-take relationship. Love enjoys giving, and love enjoys taking. It is a sharing, it is a communication. Both are equal in love; in a sexual relationship both are not equal. Love has a totally different beauty to it  (Rajneesh Quotes) But we are such deceivers that we will not look at ourselves in relationship, because there the real face can be seen. So we close our eyes to relationship, and we go on thinking that something is going to be seen inside. You cannot see anything inside  (Rajneesh Quotes) Shankara commented on Krishna, on the Upanishads, on the Brahma Sutras. Ramanuja commented on the ancient enlightened people, Vallabha did the same. It has always been so in the East, because much dust gathers as time passes. Now, the Upanishads were written in a totally different world. That man has disappeared, that mind has disappeared, that world no more exists  (Rajneesh Quotes) No God is needed, no heaven and hell are needed. All that is needed is a simple understanding that mind is the source of negativities  (Rajneesh Quotes) People who are not enjoying their lives in the present have lust for life in the future. Lust for life is always in the future. It is a postponement. They are saying, ‘We cannot enjoy today so we will enjoy tomorrow.’ They are saying, ‘Right this moment we cannot celebrate, so let there be a tomorrow so that we can celebrate.’  (Rajneesh Quotes) A witnessing consciousness lives in life but with tremendous non-attachment, with great non-possessiveness; it possesses nothing. It lives totally, it lives passionately, but still knowing that I don’t possess anything  (Rajneesh Quotes) Attachment is the root cause of all misery - and our mind is such that it starts clinging to each and everything. It starts becoming identified, attached, it does not know how to keep a distance; hence the misery  (Rajneesh Quotes) No vegetarian has been able to achieve a single Nobel prize. It is a clear-cut condemnation of vegetarianism. Why do all the Nobel prizes go to non-vegetarians? - because vegetarian food does not contain those proteins which create intelligence. And unless we provide those proteins, intelligence cannot grow. The body is a very delicate phenomenon and it needs a very well balanced diet  (Rajneesh Quotes) Eat, drink, and be merry is perfectly good in itself; nothing is wrong in it. But it is not enough. Soon you will get tired of it. One cannot just go on eating, drinking, and merrying. Soon the merry-go-round turns into a sorry-go-round - because it is repetitive. Only a very mediocre mind can go on being happy with it  (Rajneesh Quotes) And this sensitivity will create new friendships for you - friendships with trees, with birds, with animals, with mountains, with rivers, with oceans, with stars. Life becomes richer as love grows  (Rajneesh Quotes) Out of that aloneness - the experience of God. There is no other way; there has never been any and there is never going to be  (Rajneesh Quotes) Let this become your key - next time when anger comes, just watch it. Don’t say  (Rajneesh Quotes) Meaning is man-created. And because you constantly look for meaning, you start to feel meaninglessness  (Rajneesh Quotes) Zen says everything is divine so how can anything be special? All is special. Nothing is non-special so nothing can be special  (Rajneesh Quotes) Zen has no theory. It is a non-theoretical approach into reality. It has no doctrine and no dogma - hence it has no church, no priest, no pope  (Rajneesh Quotes) Zen people love Buddha so tremendously that they can even play jokes upon him. It is out of great love; they are not afraid  (Rajneesh Quotes) 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 Quotes) Become aware of your aloneness - which is a reality. And it is so beautiful to experience it, to feel it, because it is your freedom from the crowd, from the other. It is your freedom from the fear of being lonely  (Rajneesh Quotes) Two identical things do not exist at all, so there is no need to be ‘somebody.’ You just be yourself, and suddenly you are unique, incomparable. That’s why I say that this is a paradox: those who search fail, and those who don’t bother, suddenly attain  (Rajneesh Quotes) Each person is born with a unique individuality, and each person has a destiny of his or her own. Imitation is crime, it is criminal. If you try to become a Buddha, you may look like Buddha, you may walk like him, you may talk like him, but you will miss. You will miss all that life was ready to deliver to you. Buddha happens only once  (Rajneesh Quotes) Everyone is born unique. No comparison is possible. You are you, and I am I  (Rajneesh Quotes) My people. I have given them a sense of individuality, integrity. I have not made them slaves of any God or any religion. Nor of any holy book or any priest. I have certainly not replaced their God. They are all a part of what I call my traveling circus  (Rajneesh Quotes)
