Paradise

(10)

Which brings us to Bhagwanisms I think might edify you - idiots! Forget about philosophy.
Forget about modern politic. I intend to irritate you with Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. I quote from my notes:

The Western Mind is always interested in the end result and the East is always interested in the Beginning, not the end. To the Eastern Mind the end is useless; the importance is in the beginning.

Do you think that you are awake? Each morning you open your eyes, that is one thing, but to be awake is totally different.

Beauty is a creation of love.

I teach a sensuous religion. I teach a sensitive religion.

Why does a man fall in love with a woman? Because he carries a woman within him; otherwise he would not fall in love.

God does not exist unless your heart is full of love. (!)

History is meaningless bunk!

I am not for order at all. Disorder is perfectly beautiful. So let there be disorder - nothing wrong.

Real education will teach children the most fundamental truth: I am alone.

My whole approach is living moment to moment; enlightened or unenlightened, what does it matter? Living moment to moment joyously, ecstatically, living moment to moment totally, intensely, passionately...

Paradise is not something geographical. Paradise is not somewhere else. Paradise is a way of living.
