Osho Thoughts on Philosophy and Truth

Philosophy is a disease and not an ordinary one either. It’s not a common cold. It is cancer- Cancer of the soul. Once a person is lost in the jungle of philosophy he becomes more and more entangled in words, concepts, abstractions and there is no end to it. One can go on and on for lives together.

Truth is simple. Very simple – so simple that a child can understand it. In fact, so simple that only a child can understand it. Unless you become a child again you will not be able to understand it. It is an experience, not speculation.

One does have to be a little reserved and restrained in mind and deed to understand and take in philosophy. It has its advantages and disadvantages. Religious philosophy tries to explain existence. It cannot help you totally in other aspects of life that require your natural smartness, psycho-physical stamina and interests as requirements but can offer some support to cope with life. It is an effective treatment when used wisely. This means that one's needs can be satisfied and this is variable on a person to person basis.

Religion will not give you common sense and logic. One has to develop that themselves through work, interactions, education and career.
