All religions are nothing but a science - or an art - to teach you how to die. And the only way to teach you how to die is to teach you how to live. They are not separate. If you know what right living is, you will know what right dying is. So the first thing, or the most fundamental thing is: how to live.
RajneeshScience is concerned about quantity; religion is concerned about quality. Religion is concerned with the art of how to live life and how to die life.
RajneeshWe have to change this whole earth into a tremendous festival, and it is possible because man brings all that is needed to transform this earth into a paradise.
RajneeshUse all your suffering for meditation, and soon you will come to know that the suffering disappears because the energy starts moving inwards. It is not moving to the periphery, to the suffering, you are not feeding your suffering. It looks illogical, but this is the whole conclusion of all the mystics of the world: that you feed your suffering and you enjoy it in a subtle way, you don't want to be wellโthere must be some investment in it.
RajneeshCreativity has nothing to do with creating something, creativity is simply the presence of God.
RajneeshTo be a criminal needs great unconsciousness. Meditation destroys your unconsciousness, opens the doors of light and suddenly what you were doing in the darkness starts disappearing.
RajneeshNothing is secure. That is my message. Nothing can be secure, because a secure life will be worse than death. Nothing is certain. Life is full of uncertainties, full of surprises - that is its beauty! You can never come to a moment when you can say, "Now I am certain." When you say you are certain, you simply declare your death, you have committed suicide.
