Arise Quote by Rajneesh
“Use the head, use the heart, and if you can use both a tremendous revolution will happen. If you can use both you will become aware that you are the third force - neither; you are neither head nor heart; because if you can move so easily from one to another you cannot be either; you must be separate from both - then the witnessing arises; then the identification is broken. And that witnessing is what meditation is all about.”

![“[Children] use up the same part of my head as poetry does. To deal with children is a matter of terrific imaginative identification. And the children have to come first. It's no use putting off their evening meal for two months.” quote by Libby Houston](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/aad/libby-houston-83975_children_children-use-up-the-same-part-of-my-head_524691.jpg)
![“The witnessing soul is like the sky. The birds fly in the sky but they don't leave any footprints…[The] man who is awakened lives in such a way that he leaves no footprints… He never looks ahead, he never looks back, he lives in the moment.” quote by Rajneesh](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/355/rajneesh-54_awakened_the-witnessing-soul-is-like-the-sky-the_2451267.jpg)
