Ask Osho!

Is it always wrong to think logically?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Logic serves the outer world, but to truly know yourself, you must embrace the illogical—trust, love, and meditate beyond reason."

According to Osho, logic isn’t wrong—it’s essential for the objective world: science, measurement, step-by-step inquiry. But for the inner, subjective realm, you must reverse gears: drop questioning, trust, love, meditate, and transcend logic. A whole human uses both wings—logic for things, illogic for being—arriving at science outside and self-knowledge within.
Use logic for the world outside you, and use trust and love to explore the world inside you—wisdom is knowing when to switch.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents one-sided living: effective at work, warm in relationships.
- Gives a clear method: question for problems; drop doubt for meditation and love.
- Balances success in the world with self-knowledge.
