Rajneesh on attachment
Rajneesh19 quotes“Attachment 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.”

RajneeshRajneesh Freedom 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.
RajneeshRajneesh Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.
RajneeshRajneesh Live without expectations and there will be no frustration.
RajneeshRajneesh Once your awareness becomes a flame, it burns up the whole slavery that the mind has created.
RajneeshRajneesh This moment! – this here-now – is forgotten when you start thinking in terms of achieving something. When the achieving mind arises, you lose contact with the paradise you are in.
