Rajneesh Quotes

In the way of God, thoughts count very little. Love does it all.

If you look at the life of Jesus, that's an example of true worship. You know look at the stories, if you want to learn about real worship read Matthew through John. Seriously. You just read it and you will see the true level. You see when Jesus is in the boat and the storm comes when it comes and the winds are blowing and Jesus is sleeping in the boat and the disciples are freaking out. And Jesus wakes up and says "What you guys got is a problem, no?" and he commands the seas to be calm that's true worship.

There's only one effectively redemptive sacrifice, the sacrifice of self-will to make room for the knowledge of God.

God, I pray Thee, light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn for Thee. Consume my life, my God, for it is Thine. I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you, Lord Jesus.

A devotee has no agenda of his own. For him, the object of devotion is everything.

Devotion is a place where you do not exist; life just flows through you as a certain sweetness and beauty.

Devotion is not a concept, not a certain kind of ideology, not a certain kind of act, it is the agent of dissolution.

Fear and God do not occupy the same space.

Jesus asks for everything, but we try to give Him less.

As long as you are proud, you cannot know God.

I want to give myself totally to Him...I want to live no longer but for Him.

It is not the church we want, but the sacrifice; not the emotion of admiration, but the act of adoration; not the gift, but the giving.

My heart I give you, Lord, eagerly and entirely.

Christ says, 'Give me all. I don't want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want You.'

Let us think less of men and more of God.

Life is supposed to be lived for God and for others.

Into thy hands, O Lord. Into thy hands.

I'm actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about religion: that it gives people a chance to surrender.

A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time, at all times, who suffers harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest strength is love and defiance of despair.

The mark of one who loves God and saints is sacrifice.

Make God first priority. He's worth it!

There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.

Perhaps the old monks were right when they tried to root love out; perhaps the poets are right when they try to water it. It is a blood-red flower, with the color of sin; but there is always the scent of a god about it.

I'm just someone who marvels at God.

Love is the greatest gift that God has given us. It's free.
