Pleasure is a sort of oblivion, a forgetfulness. Pain is remembrance, you cannot forget pain. Rajneesh More Quotes by Rajneesh More Quotes From Rajneesh Knowledge is not information, it's transformation. Rajneesh informationeducationaleducation Unless a person decides that `Whatever the cost, I want just to be myself. Condemned, unaccepted, losing respectability - everything is okay but I cannot pretend anymore to be somebody else`... This decision and this declaration - this declaration of freedom, freedom from the weight of the crowd - gives birth to your natural being, to your individuality. Then you don`t need any mask. Then you can be simply yourself, just as you are. And the moment you can be just as you are, there is tremendous peace that passeth understanding. Rajneesh understandingdecisiongiving The life of a sannyasin should be a life of no expectations. And then every moment is such a bliss, such a benediction, because whatsoever God gives is so much. Then you always feel grateful. But your desires are so much that whatsoever God gives always looks so little; and you feel frustrated, and you feel complaints, and you cannot feel grateful. And without gratitude, there is no possibility of prayer arising in your heart. Gratitude is prayer. Rajneesh gratitudegratefulprayer When you feel expansion of your consciousness, that is the most ecstatic experience possible, because suddenly you are the whole universe. Stars are within you. The sun rises within you and sets within you. The earth moves within you. The flowers blossom within you. Rajneesh starsflowermoving You say that in heaven there is eternal beauty. The eternal beauty is here and now, not in heaven. Rajneesh creating-beautyhere-and-nowheaven One has to be very alert to go beyond lust. And one has to be constantly aware of jealousy, of possessiveness, of domination, because those are the strategies of lust. If you drop jealousy, possessiveness, ego trips, then slowly slowly lust disappears and love arises. Love is a pure flame without any smoke. It is prayer, it is divine, and it makes you divine. Rajneesh jealousyprayerlove-is Meditation is a flower and compassion is its fragrance. Rajneesh meditation-practiceflowercompassion You are daydreaming about the future because you have not tasted the present. Start tasting the present. Find out a few moments where you are simply delighting. Looking at the trees, just be the look. Listening to the birds, just be a listening ear. Let them reach to your deepest core. Let their song spread all over your being. Rajneesh listening-earfuturesong When you become centered, suddenly there is great freedom because you know you are not the mind and you are not the body. Rajneesh freedom-of-expressionbodymind The Bauls say, "Don't try to force anything." Let life be a deep let-go. See God opening millions of flowers every day without forcing the buds, waiting, never in a hurry, giving their time to them. The Bauls say, "Everything happens at its right time, everything happens in its own season. Wait, don't be impatient, don't be in a hurry. All hurry is greed, and all hurry is a subtle fight." That which is going to happen will happen. Whenever it is going to happen it will happen; you need not fight existence. You can surrender, you can trust. Rajneesh fightingflowerletting-go The ego does not, cannot live in the present, because the present is real and the ego is false - they never meet. Rajneesh egorealdoe If you are not capable of being alone, your relationship is false. It is just a trick to avoid your loneliness, nothing else. Rajneesh trickslonelinessrelationship In love the other is important; in lust you are important Rajneesh importantlustspiritual The man and the woman are not really two separate entities, but the personality of the man needs the supporting qualities of the woman. If those supporting qualities are not there, the man will fall apart. And the same will happen to the woman. She cannot exist only on female qualities, she needs male supporting qualities. So each human being is a composite whole of two polarities which appear opposed to each other but are not really opposed; they are basically, absolutely essential components of each other. Rajneesh mentwofall The world has known only very few rebels. But now is the time: if humanity proves incapable of producing a large number of rebels, a rebellious spirit, then our days on the earth are numbered. We have to change our consciousness, create more meditative energy in the world, create more lovingness. Rajneesh humanitynumbersmotivational If you clean the floor with love, you have done an invisible painting. Live each moment in such delight that it gives you something inner. Rajneesh love-yougivinglife Do the small things of life with a relaxed awareness. When you are eating, eat totally - chew totally, taste totally, smell totally. Touch your bread, feel the texture. Smell the bread, smell the flavor. Chew it, let it dissolve into your being. Rajneesh texturesmelltouching Remember the emphasis on the heart. the mind lives in doubt and the heart lives in trust. When you trust, suddenly you become centered. Rajneesh yogaheartinspirational The child is naturally meditative. He is a sort of samadhi; he's coming out of the womb of existence. His life river is yset absolutely fresh, just from the source. He knows the truth, but he does not know that he knows.... His knowledge is not yet aware. It is innocent. It is simply there, as a matter of fact. And he is not separate from his knowledge; he is his knowledge. He has not mind, he has simple being. Rajneesh simpleriverschildren The future is just your hope, expectation. And when this life is not fulfilling you start looking further, beyond death. All these are fictions just for you to survive somehow. But this survival is not how you are supposed to be. Existence has not given you birth just to live in hopes. You can be really ecstatic this moment, and there is no other moment. Meditation is, Zen is living now and here. Rajneesh survivalmeditationexpectations
