People who are not enjoying their lives in the present have lust for life in the future. Lust for life is always in the future. It is a postponement. They are saying, 'We cannot enjoy today so we will enjoy tomorrow.' They are saying, 'Right this moment we cannot celebrate, so let there be a tomorrow so that we can celebrate.'
RajneeshThe very essence of meditation is to be so silent that there is no stirring of thoughts in you, that words don't come between you and reality, that the whole net of words falls down, that you are left alone. This aloneness, this purity, this unclouded sky of your being is meditation.
RajneeshWhen mind knows, we call it knowledge. When heart knows, we call it love. And when being knows, we call it meditation.
RajneeshIf you are not capable of being alone, your relationship is false. It is just a trick to avoid your loneliness, nothing else.
RajneeshWisdom happens through meditation, and bliss also happens through meditation. Both the flowers bloom on the same branch.
RajneeshYou become more divine as you become more creative. All the religions of the world have said God is the creator. I don’t know whether he is the creator or not, but one thing I know: the more creative you become, the more godly you become. When your creativity comes to a climax, when your whole life becomes creative, you live in God. So he must be the creator because people who have been creative have been closest to him. Love what you do. Be meditative while you are doing it – whatsoever it is
