Quotes about Consciousness by Osho (Rajneesh)

  • You exist in time, but you belong to eternity- You are a penetration of eternity into the world of time-You are deathless, living in a body of death- Your consciousness knows no death, no birth- It is only your body that is born and dies-But you are not aware of your consciousness-You are not conscious of your consciousness-And that is the whole art of meditation; Becoming conscious of consciousness itself.
  • Nobody can teach you love. Love you have to find yourself, within your being, by raising your consciousness to higher levels.
  • Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously; then there will not be any darkness.
  • When your consciousness becomes a still mirror, a still lake, a silent reservoir of energy, God is reflected in it.
  • Meditation is not concentration. It is simple awareness. You simply relax and watch the breathing. In that watching, nothing is excluded. The car is humming - perfectly okay, accept it. The traffic is passing - that's okay, part of life. The fellow passenger snoring by your side, accept it. Nothing is rejected. You are not to narrow down your consciousness.
  • God cannot be found outside you, because there is no God who can ever be outside you. God is the ultimate fragrance of your consciousness. When your consciousness opens like a lotus, the fragrance that is released is God - better to call it godliness.
