What is the mystery behind logical and illogical aspects of teachings?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Logic opens the door to the mind, but it is the illogical that transforms the heart and being, for true experience transcends all arguments."
According to Osho, teachings appear both logical and illogical because he first uses logic to meet the mind where it is and win attention; once trust relaxes the ego, he shifts beyond logic, since life, love and transformation are supra-logical and immeasurable. Logic opens the door; illogic—direct experience and catalytic situations—transforms the whole being, which no argument can accomplish.
He talks logically to get your attention, then guides you beyond logic because real change is bigger than thinking.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you engage teachings without resistance, then invites deeper surrender.
- Reminds you not to limit life and love to what can be measured.
- Encourages openness to experiences that transform, not just ideas that convince.
