Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence. To be creative is to be rebellious. The creative person is one who does not follow the crowd, who does not believe in traditions, who does not believe in conventions. The creative person is one who trusts his own insight, his own vision, his own understanding. He is ready to go alone, even if the whole world is against him. Creativity is the way to freedom. It is the way to God.

Silence is the language of God, and everything else is a poor translation. Words are inadequate. Words are impotent. Words cannot express the truth. Truth is beyond words, truth is beyond language, truth is beyond mind. Truth can only be experienced in silence. Silence is the bridge between you and the divine. Silence is the door to the temple of God. Silence is the only prayer. Silence is the only meditation. Silence is the only way to know the unknowable, to see the invisible, to hear the inaudible.

If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up, it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.

If you love someone, let them be. Don’t try to possess them, don’t try to control them, don’t try to change them. If you change them, you destroy them. If you possess them, you kill them. Love is the art of giving freedom to the other. Love is the art of seeing the beauty in the other, without any conditions, without any expectations.

Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to see it, to realize it. God himself has created you; you cannot be improved. All that is needed is a new way of seeing, a new perspective. You are not lacking anything; you are complete. The moment you drop the idea of becoming someone, you are suddenly transformed. You are that which you have been seeking.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived. A problem is something that you can dissect, analyze, and find an answer to. But a mystery is something that you can only live, experience, and feel. The moment you try to solve it, you destroy it. Life is not a puzzle to be solved; it is a dance to be danced, a song to be sung, a celebration to be celebrated. Don’t try to figure it out; just live it, love it, and be grateful for it.

Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized. You are not to go anywhere; you are to come back home. Truth is not at the end of the world; it is at the very beginning of your being. It is not there, far away; it is here, close by. It is not then, it is now. Truth is not something that you have to achieve; it is something that you have to recognize. It is already the case. You are born with it. You are it.

Be — don't try to become. Within these two words, my whole philosophy is contained. Becoming is the disease, and being is the health. Becoming is living in the future, being is living in the present. Becoming is hoping, being is realizing. Becoming is a constant struggle, being is a deep relaxation. Becoming is the way of the ego, being is the way of the soul. Just be. Don’t try to become perfect, don’t try to become enlightened, don’t try to become virtuous. Just be. In that very beingness, you will find all that you have been seeking and searching for.

I am telling you that you are Gods, that you are Buddhas, that there is no other God than you. That is the most difficult thing to accept. You would like to be a sinner, you would like to be guilty, you would like to be thrown into hell, but you cannot accept that you are a Buddha, an awakened one, because then all problems are solved. And when problems are solved, YOU start disappearing. And to disappear into the whole is the only thing of any worth, is the only thing of any significance.

What I am telling to you is not a teaching. This place is a device, this is a Buddhafield. I have to take away things which you don't have, and I have to give you things which you already have. You need not be grateful to me at all, because I am not giving you anything new, I am simply helping you to remember.

You have forgotten the language of your being. I have come to recognize it -- I have remembered myself. And since the day I remembered myself I have been in a strange situation: I feel compassion for you, and deep down I also giggle at you, because you are not really in trouble. You don't need compassion, you need hammering, you need to be hit hard on the head. Your suffering is bogus. Ecstasy is your very nature.

You are truth.
You are love.
You are bliss.
You are freedom.

Power-oriented people can create much, but their creation is basically criminal. And sooner or later, it is going to fall apart.

Meditative people, loving people, can create higher things, better things. And whatever they create is never in the service of death and destruction. Whatever they create is basically godliness. Whatever they create remains forever; it is eternal…

I want you to know, what we are creating is going to last forever. Love is immortal. Love knows no death. Meditation leads you within yourself to eternity.

The spring of life is available to everybody; otherwise how can you live? Your life is continuously being nourished by the spring of life. The trees are nourished by the spring of life, the flowers blossom… but the juice comes from the spring of life. The whole existence is nothing but a manifestation of the springs of life.

But trees cannot become enlightened - neither can mountains or oceans; neither can animals or birds. They all have the same source of life that you have. But man has a prerogative, a privilege, that he can become aware of his spring of life.

This awareness is not possible in any other form in existence. It is man's grandeur, it is his dignity. Existence has given him the most precious opportunity. If he can create awareness, consciousness, more alertness, then his spring of life explodes into a new dimension.

The dimension of life becomes the dimension of light, of knowing - knowing the deepest roots of our being in eternity. And the moment we know our roots are eternal, we know our flowers are also going to be eternal. Enlightenment is a flowering.

The man who lives totally becomes unambitious. Because he is so happy right now, he cannot conceive that there is the possibility of more. The ordinary madness of man's mind - of desiring for more and more - is because you are not living totally. There is always a gap, something is missing, you know things could have been better. Out of this partial living, all ambitions arise, and then the whole game of the society goes on: people want to become rich, people want to become famous, people want to become politicians, people want to become presidents and prime ministers.

Up to now humanity has depended on not allowing man to live totally, creating all kinds of barriers, because the total man will destroy so many vested interests in the world. The total man is the most dangerous man to the vested interests. You cannot enslave a man who is enjoying his life in its fullness, in its wholeness. You cannot force him to go into the army to kill people and to be killed.

Your whole structure of society will collapse.

Laughter is one of the things most repressed by society all over the world, in all the ages.

Society wants you to be serious. Parents want their children to be serious, teachers want their students to be serious, the bosses want their servants to be serious, the commanders want their armies to be serious.

Seriousness is required of everybody. Laughter is dangerous and rebellious. When the teacher is teaching you and you start laughing, it will be taken as an insult. Your parents are saying something to you and you start laughing — it will be taken as an insult.

Seriousness is thought to be honor, respect. Naturally laughter has been repressed so much that even though life all around is hilarious, nobody is laughing. If your laughter is freed from its chains, from its bo***ge, you will be surprised — on each step there is something hilarious happening.

Life is not serious. Only graveyards are serious, death is serious. Life is love, life is laughter, life is dance, song.
