Why is logic often criticized?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Logic is a man-made grid that confines the vastness of reality; to truly meet life and oneself, we must transcend its limitations."
According to Osho, logic is criticized because it’s a man-made grid we impose on a vast, paradoxical reality; useful for the marketplace but false to life’s depth. As one goes deeper, rules dissolve, opposites complement, identities flow, and linear reason becomes a hindrance. To meet reality—and oneself—directly, logic must be set aside.
Logic is handy for chores, but life’s deeper truth is messy and changing, so rigid rules can block real understanding.
Why this matters practically
- Use logic for practical tasks without mistaking it for ultimate truth.
- Stay open to paradox, feeling, and direct experience when exploring life’s depth.
- Loosen rigid judgments to improve relationships, creativity, and inner balance.
