Certain Quote by Rajneesh

“One thing is certain: you can never become anything other than yourself, and unless you become yourself you cannot be happy.

“One thing is certain: you can never become anything other than yourself, and unless you become yourself you cannot be happy. Happiness happens only when a rosebush grows roseflowers; when it flowers, when it has its own individuality. You may be a rosebush and trying to flower as lotus flower - that is creating insanity. Erase the mind. And the way to erase it is not by fight: the way to erase it is just to become aware.”

Rajneesh
