SOME FAMOUS SAYINGS OF THE GREAT ACHARYA RAJNEESH (OSHO)
*How can one become enlightened? One can, because one is enlightened. One just has to recognize the fact.
*Enlightenment is the understanding that this is all, that this is perfect, that this is it. Enlightenment is not an achievement, it is an understanding that there is nothing to achieve, nowhere to go.
*Yes, when you see for the first time, a great laughter arises in you - the laughter about the whole ridiculousness of your misery, the laughter about the whole foolishness of your problems, the laughter about the whole absurdity of your suffering.
*Meaning is man-created. And because you constantly look for meaning, you start to feel meaninglessness.
*You come to the master only in deep humbleness, because learning is possible only in humbleness. You have come to surrender, not to perform, not to manipulate, not to impress.
*When I say that you are gods and goddesses I mean that your possibility is infinite, your potentiality is infinite.
*You become that which you think you are. Or, it is not that you become it, but that the idea gets very deeply rooted and that's what all conditioning is.
*The day you think you know, your death has happened - because now there will be no wonder and no joy and no surprise. Now you will live a dead life.
*The modern mind has lost all capacity to wonder. It has lost all capacity to look into the mysterious, into the miraculous - because of knowledge, because it thinks it knows.
*If you can become a mirror you have become a meditator. Meditation is nothing but skill in mirroring. And now, no word moves inside you so there is no distraction.
Don't seek, don't search, don't ask, don't knock, don't demand - relax. If you relax, it comes. If you relax, it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it.
*God is a synergetic experience. Science can never reveal it, philosophy can never come to it - only a poetic approach, a very passive, very loving approach, can.
A really religious person has no theology. Yes, he has the experience, he has the truth, he has that luminosity, but he has no theology.
Life is not a tragedy, it is a comedy. To be alive means to have a sense of humor.
Be less of a judge and you will be surprised that when you become a witness and you don't judge yourself, you stop judging others too. And that makes you more human, more compassionate, more understanding.
Know the whole world is nothing when it is compared to knowing your own inner mystery of life.
*Drop the fear. Fear was taken up by you in your childhood, unconsciously. Now consciously drop it and be mature. Then the life can be a light which goes on deepening as you go on growing.
*Intelligence is a natural phenomenon -- just as breathing is, just as seeing is. Intelligence is the inner seeing; it is intuitive. It has nothing to do with intellect. Never confuse intellect with intelligence, they are polar opposites. Intellect is of the head; it is taught by others, it is imposed on you. You have to cultivate it. It is borrowed, it is something foreign, it is not inborn. But intelligence is inborn. It is your very being, your very nature.
*Become more and more innocent, less knowledgeable and more childlike. Take life as fun - because that's precisely what it is!
*To be alone is the only real revolution. To accept that you are alone is the greatest transformation that can happen to you. - HARGUNPREET SINGH.
