It was the religious people who crucified Jesus.

-Rajneesh

People are afraid of life, and they are afraid of life because life is only possible if you are capable of being wild - wild in your love, wild in your song, wild in your dance. This is where fear is.

Who is afraid of death? I have never come across such a person. And almost every person I have come across is afraid of life.

Drop fear of life .... Because either you can be afraid or you can live; it is up to you. And what is there to be afraid of? You can't lose anything. You have everything to gain.

Drop all fears and jump totally into life.

Then one day death will come as a welcome guest, not your enemy, and you will enjoy death more than you have enjoyed life, because death has its own beauties.

And death is very rare because it happens once in a while - life is everyday.

-Rajneesh

People are afraid of life, not of death, because life is a problem to be solved. Life has thousands of complexities to be resolved. Life has so many dimensions that you are continuously in a worry ... is the dimension you are moving in the right one, or have you left the right one behind?

Whatever you are doing, this question mark never leaves you: is this the kind of thing you really wanted to do, or are you really destined to do this? Everybody is in constant turmoil because of life.

People are afraid to live, so people try to live as limitedly as possible. They have made life a limited concern.

They try to create a fence around their life. They don't want to live in the wilderness of life - that is very fear-creating. They make a nice fence around their house, they make a beautiful British garden inside - everything symmetrical, well-cut, groomed - and they think this is life. This is not life, this is just an effort to avoid life.

Life can only be wild.

It cannot have fences, it cannot be like the British garden. It is not Victorian, everything symmetrical.

-Rajneesh

This is not your house. But you have missed the train so many times that it is natural to believe that this is where you belong - the waiting room, the platform. The train comes but you can never get to the train, you are always late. That has become your pattern of life.

-Rajneesh

Love is a tiny death: death is immense love.

Love happens between two small individuals:

Death happens between two universes.

Love makes two individuals one:

Death makes two universes one.
