Does the overwhelming nature of the absurd lead to insights about the gestalt of everything?

outcome
"The absurd is the doorway to the divine; when you drop the mind and embrace the unknown, you awaken to the living unity of existence."
According to Osho, the 'absurd'—beyond reason—is a truer name for God and opens a direct, holistic seeing of existence. When you drop mind, memory, and hypotheses, you relate heart-to-heart with the whole; an inner explosion rebirths perception. This unknowing lets every fiber pulse in tune with the totality, revealing the living gestalt not as theory but as fresh, experiential unity.
When you stop trying to explain everything, your heart wakes up and you feel the whole world as one living thing.
