The child is naturally meditative. He is a sort of samadhi; he's coming out of the womb of existence. His life river is yet absolutely fresh, just from the source. He knows the truth, but he does not know that he knows.... His knowledge is not yet aware. It is innocent. It is simply there, as a matter of fact. And he is not separate from his knowledge; he is his knowledge. He has not mind, he has simple being.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
The mind is constantly talking. If the inner talk can drop even for a single moment you will be able to have a glimpse of no-mind. That's what meditation is all about. The state of no-mind is the right state. It is your state.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
The process of meditation does not take you to some new world; it only introduces you to the world where you have been for lives upon lives. The process of meditation does not add anything to you; it only takes away what is wrong, cuts it away, sheds it off.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
The very essence of meditation is to be so silent that there is no stirring of thoughts in you, that words don't come between you and reality, that the whole net of words falls down, that you are left alone. This aloneness, this purity, this unclouded sky of your being is meditation.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
The West has enough technology, enough science, enough affluence, enough money, but something of the inner is missing. There is no peace, no silence, no joy, no bliss, no meditativeness, no experience of godliness.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
The West has made people too time-conscious, not knowing where they are going but speeding to get there because time is short.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
To be alone and to be drunk with your own aloneness is what meditation is all about.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
To me the greatest problem with humanity is that they don't know anything of meditation.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
When meditation releases energy in you, it will find all sorts of ways to be expressed.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
When the mind is really absent, in that silence, in that unlimited space, your potential starts glowing, radiating, flowering. Suddenly you are full of cherry blossoms, a new presence, a new fragrance.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
When you are in deep meditation, you feel a great serenity, a joy that is unknown to you, a watchfulness that is a new guest. Soon this watchfulness will become the host. The day the watchfulness becomes the host, it remains twenty-four hours with you. And out of this watchfulness, whatever you do has a wisdom in it. Whatever you do shows a clarity, a purity, a spontaneity, a grace.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
Wisdom happens through meditation, and bliss also happens through meditation. Both the flowers bloom on the same branch.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
You cannot see clearly, because you are so full of expectations, hopes, desires. Your eyes are covered with many layers of dust: you need a deep cleansing of your eyes. That's what meditation is. Let the thoughts disappear, the hopes disappear, the desires disappear. Then you have a clarity, then your eyes are perfect mirrors. Only then, in that silent state of your vision, will you know the secrets of the beyond.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
You have to put aside your ideology. Howsoever beautiful it looks, howsoever systematic it looks, howsoever philosophical you have made and decorated it, you have to put it aside and see within. That's the whole method of meditation, awareness, watchfulness.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
Your love will deepen as your meditation deepens, and vice-versa: as your meditation blossoms, your love will also blossom.
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh -
Your mind is a constant traffic of thoughts, and it is always rush hour, day in, day out. Meditation means to watch the movement of thoughts in the mind.
