RAJNEESHOnce your awareness becomes a flame, it burns up the whole slavery that the mind has created.
RAJNEESHPeople say love is blind because they do not know what love is. I say unto you, only love has eyes; other than love, everything is blind.
RAJNEESHCome out of the masses. Stand alone like a lion and live your life according to your own light.
RAJNEESHAttachment brings misery, unattachment brings blissfulness. So use things, but don’t be used by them. Live life but don’t be lived by it. Possess things, but don’t be possessed by them. Have things – that’s not a problem. I am not for renunciation. Enjoy everything that life gives, but always remain free.
RAJNEESHThe ego is your enemy, not your friend. It is the ego that gives you wounds and hurts you. It is the ego that makes you violent, angry, jealous, competitive. It is the ego that is continuously comparing and feeling miserable.
RAJNEESHThere are very few joys in life greater than spontaneity. Spontaneity means to be in the moment; it means acting out of your awareness, not acting according to your old conditionings.
RAJNEESHExcept for our bodies there are no other temples in the world.
RAJNEESHYou exist in time, but you belong to eternity.
RAJNEESHLive without expectations and there will be no frustration.
RAJNEESHMeaning is man-created. And because you constantly look for meaning, you start to feel meaninglessness.
RAJNEESHRespect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.
RAJNEESHFreedom means the capability to say yes when yes is needed, to say no when no is needed, and sometimes to keep quiet when nothing is needed – to be silent, not to say anything. When all these dimensions are available, there is freedom.
RAJNEESHAnybody who gives you a belief system is your enemy, because the belief system becomes the barrier for your eyes, you cannot see the truth.
RAJNEESHTo be an individual is the hardest thing in the world, because nobody likes you to be an individual. Everybody wants to kill your individuality and to make a sheep out of you. Nobody wants you to be on your own.
RAJNEESHThe ego does not, cannot live in the present, because the present is real and the ego is false – they never meet.
RAJNEESHLife is a mystery, but man wants to reduce it to a problem!
