Ask Osho!

What is the relationship between religion and scientific thinking?

Synthesized from Source definition

"True religiosity emerges not from blind belief, but from a scientific inquiry into the depths of consciousness, transforming faith into a profound exploration of inner truth."

According to Osho, the commonly ‘religious’ mind is unscientific; genuine religiosity arises from scientific thinking. When consciousness becomes rigorously inquiring, experiential, and free of superstition, religion enters as a science of inner exploration rather than belief or ritual. A new religious mind tests, observes, and verifies within, replacing commentary and tradition with first-hand insight and clarity.
Treat spirituality like science—be curious, test it yourself, and drop blind belief.
