Rajneesh Quotes

I have begun to think of life as a series of ripples widening out from an original center.

The journey of life is like a man riding a bicycle. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he will stop and get off. We know that if he stops moving and does not get off he will fall off.

Life is just an ongoing process.

Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough Gleams that untraveled world whose margin fades Forever and forever when I move. How dull it is to pause, to make an end, To rust unburnished, not to shine in use! As though to breathe were life!

Life is the dancer and you are the dance.

The past can teach us, nurture us, but it cannot sustain us. The essence of life is change, and we must move ever forward or the soul will wither and die.

I like to stay in the rhythm of things.

Life is a series of commas, not periods.

While the river of life glides along smoothly, it remains the same river; only the landscape on either bank seems to change.

There are years that ask questions and years that answer.

I have always looked upon decay as being just as wonderful and rich an expression of life as growth.

He not busy being born is busy dying.

To me, if life boils down to one thing, it's movement. To live is to keep moving.

Life for me is about movement.

'Movement is life;' and it is well to be able to forget the past, and kill the present by continual change.

Life is a journey. When we stop, things don't go right.

To me, music is a river. I have lived my life beside the river. Every day, I get up and look at the river. I watch it and notice when it rises and falls.

The more you're playing, the more weeks you're going, the more you're into it, the more everything is flowing together.

I think it's like a relay race. You run, and you hand over the baton, and your kids pick it up. They take the stuff they want, throw the rest away, and keep running. That's what life is about.

Things change. Nothing ever stays the same, yo. You ain't never gonna stay 25 or 30 or 40. You always gonna change. Every day, you change.

Time moves on for everyone.

You move forward because thats the way it works; thats the only place you can go.

Rhythm is everything in boxing. Every move you make starts with your heart, and that's in rhythm or you're in trouble.

For the world is movement, and you cannot be stationary in your attitude toward something that is moving.

A river is nearly the ultimate symbol for the very essence of change itself. It flows unceasingly from one point of being to another, yet continuously occupies the same bed or pathway, and accommodates life's endings with the same musical grace with which it accommodates life's beginnings, along with all the muted and explosive moments that surface between the two extremes.
