Ask Osho!

What do you mean by calling the natural scientific?

Synthesized from Source definition

"True science is the pursuit of wholeness, embracing the natural order of existence, where devotion flows freely and unites body and spirit. Renunciation, in its conflict with nature, reveals itself as a partial truth, unscientific in its essence."

According to Osho, ‘scientific’ means attuned to svabhava—the intrinsic, spontaneous order (Rta/Tao) pervading matter and consciousness. True science seeks this wholeness; it begins with physics, moves through mind, and culminates in the soul, uniting body and spirit. Whatever is natural—like devotion, which embraces life without opposition—is scientific. Renunciation, which fights nature, is partial, conflicted, and thus unscientific.
Calling the natural ‘scientific’ means it follows life’s built-in law in body and heart, so loving, un-opposed living is truer than running away.
Why this matters practically
- Choose integration over suppression to reduce inner conflict.
- See the sacred in daily life, turning ordinary acts into practice.
- Approach problems holistically—honoring body, mind, and spirit.
