What is the balance of poetry, mysticism, and logic?

In the depths of emptiness, there is no balance or imbalance; one becomes a hollow bamboo, utterly receptive to the flow of existence.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the 'balance' of poetry, mysticism, and logic is ultimately a mind-made symmetry exemplified by Patanjali, but his own way is neti-neti: neither balance nor imbalance. In the deepest core there is only emptiness—no harmony, no discord—so such categories dissolve. From this nothingness, one becomes a hollow bamboo, utterly receptive, allowing any voice or vision to flow through.
Don’t try to perfectly mix poetry, mysticism, and logic; drop all labels and be so empty that truth can play through you like a flute.
Why this matters practically
- Relieves the stress of self-engineering a perfect persona.
- Increases openness, creativity, and genuine receptivity.
- Lets wisdom arise from silence rather than fixed roles or formulas.
