You may be trying to attain power in this world, then you start trying to attain power in that world. First you want to attain wealth in this world, then you try to attain wealth in that world. But you remain the same, and the mind and the functioning and the whole scheme remains the same: Attain! Reach! This is the ego trip. The achieving mind is the ego.
RajneeshThere are people who want to become rich; they become rich. If you persist you can fulfill any kind of stupidity
RajneeshAs you walk, you simply walk. Don't go ahead, don't jump here and there. Mind always go ahead or lag behind. Remain with the moment.
RajneeshAs your silence grows; your friendliness, your love grows; your life becomes a moment-to-moment dance, a joy, a celebration.
RajneeshDie! Die to the ego, die to your past, and you will be resurrected. That resurrection will make you go beyond death, beyond time, beyond misery.
RajneeshChange only one thing, change from misery to bliss. from sadness to celebration. And it can be done very easily because misery is an unnatural thing.
RajneeshThe man of meditation becomes the man of understanding because his energy accumulates. He is not wasting it. He is not interested in trivia; he does not put any energy at all into petty things. So whenever the time arises to give, he has to give. Energy is understanding. Be conscious of it and use your energy very consciously, and use your energy in such a way that you don't simply go on wasting it.
