Osho: I HAVE NO BIOGRAPHY

MY WAY OF LIFE IS NOT A PHILOSOPHY

“I do not have a biography, and whatever is thought about biography is completely meaningless.

On what date I was born, in which country I was born, does not matter.

What matters is what I am here and now. “Osho

I’m not

Philosopher.

The philosopher

think about matters.

It is a

intellectual approach.

My approach is

an approach without thinking.

It is correct

the opposite

of philosophizing.

It is not thinking about it

things, ideas,

but look

with a brightness

that comes when you put your mind aside.

when you look through silence,

not through logic.

Seeing is not thinking.

The sun is rising:

if you think about it

do you miss it,

because while you think about it,

you get away from it.

With thought you can wander miles away,

thoughts go faster

then all that is possible.

When you see the sun rise

you must be sure of one thing,

that you do not think about it.

Only then can you see it.

Thinking blurs your field of vision.

It gives

its own color,

his own idea

of reality.

It does not allow reality to reach you,

it imposes itself on reality;

it is a departure from reality.

That is why no philosopher has ever been able to know the truth.

All philosophers

have thought about the truth.

But think about the truth

is an impossibility.

Or you know,

or not.

If you know, there is no need to think about it.

If not,

how can you think about it?

A philosopher who thinks about the truth

just like a blind person who thinks about light.

If you have eyes,

do not think about light,

you see it.

See

is a totally different process;

it is a by-product of meditation.

That is why I do not want to

that’s my lifestyle

ever appointed as a philosophy,

because it has nothing to do with philosophy.

You may call it ‘filosia’. “

The word ‘filo’ means love;

‘sofie’ means wisdom,

knowledge –

love for knowledge.

In filosia, ‘filo’ means the same- love,

and ‘sia’ stands for:

not for knowledge

but for being –

not for wisdom, but for experience.
