A really wise man is feminine, receptive, passive. That's why Buddha looks so feminine. That quality of passiveness, that quality of receptivity... He is just a receptacle. He reflects life: he allows life to reflect in him, to be reflected through him. He sings the song that existence wants to sing through him. He has no ideas of his own; he does not hinder.
RajneeshSadness comes, joy comes, and everything passes by. What remains always is the witness. The witness is beyond all polarities.
RajneeshThe real religion is not imitation of anybody else, it is a search to find out your own authentic self, who you are.
RajneeshYou become so intense that you are not there, because if you are there then the intensity cannot be total; then two are there. If you love and the lover is there, then love cannot be intense. Love so deeply, so totally, that the lover disappears. Then you are just an energy moving. Then you will know love, you will know life, you will know death.
RajneeshDon`t imitate. If you want to know who you are, please avoid imitation, that`s a way of avoiding knowing yourself.
RajneeshRemember this: with mind you will always be a loser. Even if you are victorious, your victories will be just defeats. With mind there is no victory, with no-mind there is no defeat. You have to shift your whole consciousness from mind to no-mind. Once no-mind is there, everything is victorious. Once the no-mind is there, nothing goes wrong, nothing can go wrong.
Rajneesh
