• If you become too sceptical, you become scientists. If you become too childlike, you become religious. Science exists with doubt. Religion exists with wonder. If you want to be religious then create more wonder, discover more wonder. Allow your eyes to be more filled with wonder than anything else. Be surprised by everything that is happening. Everything is so tremendously wonderful that it is simply unbelievable how you go on living without dancing, how you go on living without becoming ecstatic. You must not be seeing what is happening all around.

  Rajneesh

  Religious, Eye, Dancing

• Man is less interested in marriage, very much less interested. In fact not interested at all. If he agrees, he agrees only reluctantly - because marriage means responsibility. Marriage means bondage, marriage means now you are imprisoned. Now you are no more free to move with other women. For a man, marriage looks like a prison. For a woman, marriage looks like safety, security, a home. For a woman marriage means home, and for a man marriage means slavery. Total different beliefs, so they act differently. Conflicting beliefs.

  Rajneesh

  Marriage, Moving, Home

  4 Copy quote

• Devotion is love overflowing. Even when there is nobody, it is overflowing - to things, to tables, to chairs, to walls. It is just overflowing, it is not a question of to whom.

  Rajneesh

  Love, Wall, Tables

  5 Copy quote

• Laughter is the real religion. Everything else is just metaphysics.

  Rajneesh

  Laughter, Real, Metaphysics

  15 Copy quote

• It cannot be, because the way man has treated woman has been basically wrong. Only between two equal persons is there a possibility of relationship, because fear is not there - one can be open, one can be true, one can be honest. Only between two equal persons, when there is no fear, is there love. Love arises when fear has left you. When fear is there, love cannot enter: they are never together.

  Rajneesh

  Relationship, Men, Two

• Meditation has only one meaning, and that is going beyond the mind and becoming a witness. In your witnessing is the miracle - the whole mystery of life

  Rajneesh

  Meditation, Miracle, Mind

  7 Copy quote

• These tenses-past, present and future-are not the tenses of time; they are tenses of the mind. That which is no longer before the mind becomes the past. That which is before the mind is the present. And that which is going to be before the mind is the future. Past is that which is no longer before you. Future is that which is not yet before you. And present is that which is before you and is slipping out of your sight. Soon it will be past.

  Rajneesh

  Future, Past, Sight

  5 Copy quote

• Whenever it happens it is never late; whenever it happens it is always early. The happening is so great that you cannot claim it for yourself. You cannot say: `I have earned it.` The happening is so great that it is always through grace and not through effort. It happens through effortlessness. Whenever it happens, you know well that it is through compassion, grace, that it has happened. It has nothing to do with you or your earning

  Rajneesh

  Compassion, Effort, Grace

  4 Copy quote

• Tantra says be real, be authentic to yourself. Your happiness is not bad; it is good. It is not sin! Only sadness is sin, only to be miserable is sin. To be happy is virtue because a happy person will not create unhappiness for others. Only a happy person can be a ground for others' happiness.

  Rajneesh

  Happiness, Real, Sadness

  19 Copy quote

• Love with eyes knows when to say no, when to say yes. Love neither interferes in anybody`s life nor allows anybody else to interfere into one`s own life. Love gives individuality to others, but does not lose its own individuality.

  Rajneesh

  Love Life, Eye, Giving

• Meditation makes you innocent, it makes you childlike. In that state, miracles are possible. That state is pure magic.

  Rajneesh

  Meditation, Miracle, Magic

  5 Copy quote

• How does one earn innocence? - by learning from frustration, by going deep into frustrations and realizing the fact that each frustration is an outcome of a certain dream. If you don`t want frustrations, drop dreaming. Life is not frustrating, dreaming is frustrating.

  Rajneesh

  Dream, Frustration, Doe

• 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

  Happiness, People, Alternatives

  8 Copy quote

• Sannyas is the art of flying... the art that stops the process of gravitation and starts the process of grace. All that is needed is a state of let-go. All that is needed is a readiness to be possessed by the upward dimension, a readiness to open to the sky.

  Rajneesh

  Letting Go, Art, Sky

• The real religion is not imitation of anybody else, it is a search to find out your own authentic self, who you are.

  Rajneesh

  Real, Self, Imitation

  8 Copy quote

• That is again the same story played on a more subtle level. That's what the religious people have been doing down the ages - pious egoists they have been. They have made their ego even more decorated; it has taken the color of religion and holiness. Your ego is better than the ego of a saint; your ego is better, far better - because your ego is very gross, and the gross ego can be understood and dropped more easily than the subtle. The subtle ego goes on playing such games that it is very difficult. One will need absolute awareness to watch it.

  Rajneesh

  Religious, Taken, Color

  4 Copy quote

• Always choose the new, the less travelled by. Always choose the unknown, the less travelled by.

  Rajneesh

  5 Copy quote

• True art means if it helps you to become silent, still, joyous; if it gives you a celebration, if it makes you dance—whether anybody participates with you or not is irrelevant. If it becomes a bridge between you and God, that is true art. If it becomes a meditation, that is true art. If you become absorbed in it, so utterly absorbed that the ego disappears, that is true art.

  Rajneesh

  Dance, God, Art

  4 Copy quote

• We have come into the world naked, and all the animals are naked, why should man hide his body behind clothes?

• Anger is fear in disguise.

  Rajneesh

  Anger, Disguise

  5 Copy quote

• Never belong to a crowd; Never belong to a nation; Never belong to a religion; Never belong to a race. Belong to the whole existence. Why limit yourself to small things? When the whole is available.

  Rajneesh

  Race, Religion, Crowds

  8 Copy quote

• Anger is active sadness; sadness is inactive anger. They are not two things. Watch your own behaviour. When do you find yourself sad? You find yourself sad only in situations where you cannot be angry. The boss in the office says something and you cannot be angry; it is uneconomical. You cannot be angry and you have to go on smiling - then you become sad. The energy has become inactive. You come home, and with your wife you find a small thing, anything irrelevant, and you become angry.

  Rajneesh

  Anger, Home, Sadness
