Anybody who gives you a belief system is your enemy, because the belief system becomes the barrier for your eyes, you cannot see the truth.
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.
RAJNEESHExcept for our bodies there are no other temples in the world.
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.
RAJNEESHMeaning is man-created. And because you constantly look for meaning, you start to feel meaninglessness.
RAJNEESHAloneness is the presence of oneself. Aloneness is very positive… You are so full of presence that you can fill the whole universe with your presence and there is no need for anybody.
RAJNEESHRespect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.
RAJNEESHLive without expectations and there will be no frustration.
RAJNEESHCome out of the masses. Stand alone like a lion and live your life according to your own light.
RAJNEESHThe moment you accept yourself, you become beautiful.
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.
RAJNEESHOnce your awareness becomes a flame, it burns up the whole slavery that the mind has created.
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 does not, cannot live in the present, because the present is real and the ego is false – they never meet.
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.
RAJNEESHThis 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.
