I have never said that love is destroyed by marriage. How can marriage destroy love? Yes, it is destroyed in marriage, but it is destroyed by you, not by marriage. It is destroyed by the partners. How can marriage destroy love? It is you who destroy it, because you don't know what love is. You simply pretend to know, you simply hope that you know, you dream that you know, but you don't know what love is. Love has to be learned; it is the greatest art there is.

When I say that you are gods and goddesses I mean that your possibility is infinite, your potentiality is infinite.

Love is life, love is god, love is sannyas!

Knowledge always liberates.

Jesus was a lover of life, a very affirmative person, but Christianity is life-negative.

It is not that I love contradictions: life is contradictory. Existence itself is possible only through contradictions.

Contentment is the door to god. If one is contented, one has already arrived. And the meaning of contentment is absolute acceptance as you are. Contentment means acceptance, discontentment means non-acceptance. A wants to become B - that is discontent. A is perfectly happy in being A, there is no desire to become B - that is contentment.
