Rajneesh Quotes

We must close our eyes and invoke a new manner of seeing...a wakefulness that is the birthright of us all, though few put it to use.

To be awake is everything.

To be awake is to be alive.

The mind is always present. You just don't see it.

Sex and beauty are inseparable, like life and consciousness. And the intelligence which goes with sex and beauty, and arises out of sex and beauty, is intuition.

Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed.

Mind can never be intelligent - only no-mind is intelligent. Only no-mind is original and radical. Only no-mind is revolutionary - revolution in action. The mind gives you a sort of stupor. Burdened by the memories of the past, burdened by the projections of the future, you go on living - at the minimum. You dont live at the maximum. Your flame remains very dim. Once you start dropping thoughts, the dust that you have collected in the past, the flame arises - clean, clear, alive, young. Your whole life becomes a flame, and a flame without any smoke. That is what awareness is.

Now the ears of my ears awake and now the eyes of my eyes are opened.

My eyes were closed, they're open now

We are one blink of an eye away from being fully awake

You showed me everything was black cause my eyes were closed.
