I don't think existence wants you to be serious. I have not seen a serious tree. I have not seen a serious bird. I have not seen a serious sunrise. I have not seen a serious starry night. It seems they are all laughing in their own ways, dancing in their own ways. We may not understand it, but there is a subtle feeling that the whole existence is a celebration.
RajneeshIf you are silent through meditation, utterly silent, suddenly you feel a tremendous urge to create something.
RajneeshThat which makes you miserable is the only sin. That which takes you away from yourself is the only thing to be avoided.
RajneeshOur mind is a machine, it is not a mystery. And the mind always wants to know the how, the why. And because of this persistent inquiry about how and why, it goes on missing all that is beyond the boundaries of machines. Life is beyond the boundaries of machines.
RajneeshThrough meditation one discovers one's own light. That light you can call your soul, your self, your Godโwhatsoever word you chooseโor you can remain just silent because it has no name. It is a nameless experience, tremendously beautiful, ecstatic, utterly silent, but it gives you the taste of eternity, of timelessness, of something beyond death.
