practice
"You need not believe; simply experience the technique as a scientific exploration, for true understanding arises from the dissolution of the illusion of separation between body and mind."
According to Osho, no religious belief is needed; treat the technique as a scientific, therapeutic experiment. Forced belief only represses. Practice to dissolve the illusory split between body and mind, end future-oriented anxiety, and taste oneness here-now. From this experiential totality, genuine understanding may arise—but belief is never a prerequisite.
Yes—use it like a simple mind-body healing exercise; don’t believe, just try it and see if you feel more whole right now.
