OSHO International Foundation presents
Osho: Science and Internal Journey
Excerpt from an interview with the Italian Science Monthly magazine.
One of the basic problems of science is language.
Science continues to develop because
There is a clear definition of what we are talking about.
The basic problem for scientists is that
When we try to understand
What does the inner journey mean?
It is necessary to clearly define
For example, what is meant by feelings. .
I’ll give it to you, like…
Most scientists
Unclear
Awareness,
Awareness awareness
Or feel the difference between the hearts.
They use these nouns
In the same way.
So I think
Ask you, is this possible
Have
An understanding of these nouns.
Yes, this is not difficult.
Words can be clearly defined.
The difficulty is not
Because of these words,
Basic difficulties
From other places.
That is,
Scientists, deep down,
Do not believe
Have any
Inner things.
He may say so,
It may not say that,
But his entire training,
His education,
Let him believe only
object-
He can dissect,
He can observe
He can analyze
He can
combination,
create,
damage,
Find them basic
Components.
His whole idea is object oriented
However, subjectivity is not an object.
So if he wants to put subjectivity in front of him,
on the table.
This is impossible.
That is not a subjective nature.
So scientists have been discovering this world
Every thing,
In addition to himself.
There is a huge obstacle,
This obstacle is “There is nothing inside.”
When you
Cutting a stone
Into small pieces,
What will you find?
More stones.
You continue to cut it into smaller pieces,
Smaller pieces.
You will get molecules,
Get the atom,
Get electrons;
But still
You did not arrive inside
anything.
They are all objects.
He also wants
in the same way
To discover life,
Because he can’t find life in the same way,
He began to deny life.
However, consciousness is even more
Difficult questions.
Because he can’t
Touch it,
Dissect it
Discover the elements that make up it,
He simply denied it –
It does not exist.
So this is his prejudice.
Because of this bias
He was confused.
This bias can be very simple
disappear,
if he
Hypothetical
accept-
I am not saying
He should believe it,
As long as hypothetical acceptance –
If there is something external,
It is very scientific
There must be something intrinsic,
Because in existence,
Everything
Opposite poles.
External can exist unless
There is an inner one.
Unconscious can exist unless
Consciousness exists.
This is a simple dialectic of life –
And he knows –
In existence, everywhere,
He will find the same dialectic.
Everything is opposite.
However, both have some kind of
Strange way
Complementary to each other–
Opposite but still
Complement each other.
Denying inner
It is a very unscientific attitude.
So first one must assume hypothetical acceptance
The inner is there.
Second, one must understand
For externally effective
Methodology for Intrinsic
Not necessarily effective.
This is only because the inner is
With external
The opposite direction,
Same method
Is not applicable.
You must discover that it is applicable to the inner
New methodology.
And that is
What I mean by meditation:
This is intrinsic
New methodology.
