The second thing: nobody has ever been able to drop the ego because ego is not a reality that you can drop; anything to be dropped at least has to be real, substantial. Ego is just a notion, an idea. You cannot drop it, you can only understand it. Can you drop your shadow? You can run as fast as you want but your shadow will run at the same speed, exactly the same speed.
RajneeshWhen you are here and now, sitting totally, not jumping ahead, the miracle has happened. To be in the moment is the miracle.
RajneeshIf you remain always far, love will die. If you remain always near, love will die. Love can survive only in a continuous flowing relationship.
RajneeshIf you are not capable of being alone, your relationship is false. It is just a trick to avoid your loneliness, nothing else.
RajneeshWhen sex desire arises, one simply pays total attention to it, not judging, not saying this is good or bad not saying this is evil, not saying that this is a provocation from the devil. No - no evaluation at all because all valuation belongs to the mind and witnessing is not of the mind. Good, bad - distinctions all belong to the mind, and the witnessing is undivided, one. It is neither good nor bad, it simply is. One pays attention to hunger or to the sex desire, total attention - and total attention is such an energy, it is fire-the hunger simply is burned, the sex desire is simply burned.
