Synthesized from Source
definition
"All spirituality is bullshit, for truth cannot be contained in concepts or labels; drop the pretensions and observe directly."
According to Osho, 'spiritual bullshit' names the entire circus of spiritual claims, labels, dogmas and pretensions—indeed, he says all bullshit is spiritual and all spirituality is bullshit. His paradox punctures egoic seriousness: truth cannot be packaged in concepts. Drop the labels, observe directly, and refuse borrowed holiness or grand narratives.
He’s saying all the fancy talk about spirituality is just talk, and real truth isn’t in those words.
