“Zen is the most scientific method to inquire into your consciousness. It takes you beyond mind into a space called no-mind. No self, but pure awareness, and you have a taste of eternity and immortality.” MindSelfSpaceConsciousnessAwarenessTastePureEternityMethodImmortalityScientific Method Author:Rajneesh
“One of the names of Buddha is TATHAGATA - one who lives in suchness, one who has become free from all the distractions of the mind. And the miracle is that the mind consists only of distraction, so once you are free of all distractions there is no mind left. In the present there is no mind. In the present there is only consciousness, awareness, watchfulness.” MindNamesLeftConsciousnessAwarenessMiracleDistractionWatchfulness Author:Rajneesh
“Awareness means that whatsoever is happening in the moment is happening with complete consciousness; you are present there. If you are present when anger is happening, anger cannot happen. It can happen only when you are fast asleep. When you are present, immediate, transformation starts in your being, because when you are present, aware, many things are simply not possible. All that is called sin is not possible if you are aware. So, in fact, there is only one sin and that is unawareness.” IfsMeanMomentsFactsHappensSinConsciousnessAwarenessHappeningsTransformationPresent MomentUnawareness Author:Rajneesh
“According to great masters, there is no sin and there is no virtue. There is only one thing: that is awareness. If you are aware, you can do anything you want and it is not sin. If you are not aware, you may do so-called virtuous acts, but there is no virtue in them. Out of unconsciousness virtue cannot blossom. It blossoms only when you are full of light, full of love, full of consciousness.” IfsWantMayLightCan DoSinConsciousnessVirtueOne ThingAwarenessMastersVirtuousUnconsciousness Author:Rajneesh
“When we find delight in another person, we've actually found something joyful inside ourselves that involves a shift in our awareness, a shift in our perception, because the same person is not necessarily attractive to other people.In relationship, whenever we're drawn to someone or repelled by someone, they're both mirrors of the self. We're attracted to people in whom we find traits that we want or desire in our own selves. And we are repelled by people in whom we find traits that we're denying in ourselves. So relationship is a true mirror of where we are in our evolution in consciousness.” PeopleWantPersonsSelfDesireFoundConsciousnessAwarenessLove YouEvolutionPerceptionMirrorsDelightAttractiveLove YourselfTraitsJoyful Author:Deepak Chopra
“It is only through meditation that purity comes. Meditation means jumping out of the mind. There is no need to purify the mind, it can be put aside. One can become disidentified with the mind. To know "I am not the mind," is real purity because then you are only consciousness, awareness, a witnessing. To live twenty-four hours a day as a witness is the way of the sannyasin.” KnowsWayNeedsMindMeanRealHoursConsciousnessFourMeditationAwarenessTwentiesWitnessPurityJumping Author:Rajneesh
“Meditation is the art of awareness. And once you are aware, out of your awareness your actions will arise - not out of conscience. Conscience is cultivated by others, by the vested interests, by the establishment. Consciousness is yours. It is individual, it is not collective. Conscience is part of the mob psychology. Consciousness gives you dignity because it gives you individuality. It gives you rebellion, it makes you capable of saying yes or no of your own accord. There is no foreign agency manipulating you in the name of religion, morality, etcetera.” GivingArtActionNamesIndividualInterestConsciousnessPsychologyMeditationAwarenessMoralityCapableConscienceDignityIndividualityAriseAgencyCollectivesRebellionEstablishmentAccordSaying YesVested InterestsYes Or NoEtcetera Author:Rajneesh
“Objects must cease, mind must become just a pure mirror - a mirroring, not mirroring anything - just a mirror without any object in it, a pure mirror. By dhyan, this purity of the mind is indicated. So first, no object should be in the mind. Mind must remain alone without thinking about anything - with no thought, just a consciousness, just an awareness, just an alertness. This alertness without any object is meditation.” ThinkingShouldMindFirstsConsciousnessMeditationAwarenessObjectsPureMirrorsCeasePurityAlertnessMirroring Author:Rajneesh
“There is a built-in sense of indebtedness in the consciousness of man, an awareness of owing gratitude, or being caled upon at certain moments to reciprocate, to answer, to live in a way which is compatible with the grandeur and mystery of living.” MenWayMomentsCertainAnswersConsciousnessMysteryAwarenessGratitudeBuiltGrandeurCompatibleOwingReciprocateIndebtedness Author:Abraham Joshua Heschel
“Remember remain alert that you don't get too much attached to the accidental - and all is accidental except your consciousness. Except your awareness, all is accidental.

“A Buddha is not a man of concentration, he is a man of awareness. He has not been trying to narrow down his consciousness; on the contrary, he has been trying to drop all barriers so that he becomes totally available to existence. Watch... existence is simultaneous. I am speaking here and the traffic noise is simultaneous. The train, the birds the wind blowing through the trees - in this moment the whole of existence converges. You listening to me, I speaking to you, and millions of things going on - it is tremendously rich.” MenTryingHas BeensWholeMomentsExistenceConsciousnessWatchesMillionsRichTreeAwarenessWindListeningBirdTrainAvailableContraryNoiseConcentrationBarriersTrafficSimultaneousWind Blowing Author:Rajneesh
