If there is pain, use it as an awareness, as meditation, as a sharpening of the soul. And when pleasure is there, use it as a droning, as a forgetfulness. Both are ways to reach God. One is to remember yourself totally, and one is to forget yourself totally.
More Quotes from Bhagwan Rajneesh:
I am not going to waste my sleep because millions of people are misunderstanding me.Bhagwan Rajneesh
I would like people to live at ease, with all that is available on the outside. Don't be in a hurry, because anything left unlived will pull you back again. Finish it. And then there is no need to escape from your house or from your bank account, because they are no longer a burden on you. Perhaps they have a certain utility, but nothing is wrong with them.
Bhagwan Rajneesh
Your mind has become expert in destroying you, because your life consists of simple things.
Bhagwan Rajneesh
The truth is that existence wants your life to become a festival...because when you are unhappy, you also throw unhappiness all around.
Bhagwan Rajneesh
Doubt helps your intelligence, sharpens it. Questioning makes you aware of many possibilities of which you may not have been aware before.
Bhagwan Rajneesh
You must learn to work without me. You cannot be here always, you have other works to do. You have come from different countries all over the world. For a few days you will be here with me. If you become addicted to my physical presence, then rather than being a help, it may become a disturbance. Because then when you go away, you will miss me. Your meditation should be such here, that it can happen without my presence. Then, wherever you go, the meditation will not in any way be affected.
