Can science be done without the mind?

You say that mind is a wrong space, and also you say that science is an essential part of a new world. Can science be done without mind? Lease explain.

THE REAL SCIENCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN DONE without mind. All that is great in science has come not through intellect but through intuition. All the great discoveries, all the great breakthroughs, have come from the beyond -- from Archimedes to Albert Einstein. You know the story of Archimedes? The discovery happened when he was lying in his tub enjoying a hot bath, and suddenly in that relaxed state.... He was very much worried for days -- the king of the country had asked him a certain question. The king had a beautiful golden crown: he wanted to know whether it was made absolutely of gold o r if there was some mixture? And he wanted to know without the crown being destroyed. Now this was a puzzle "How to know it? -- how much is gold and how much is some other metal?" And he tried hard; he could not…

He was in the bathroom lying in the tub, relaxed. A moment of meditation occurred and penetrated deep inside, and the problem was solved. the problem he could not answer himself was solved by the tub. Could the tub really have solved it? Is it ever possible to solve a problem -- by lying in water -- which one could not solve otherwise? Does intelligence increase by lying in water? That which could not be solved with clothes on, could it be solved by being naked? No, something else had happened. For a short while Archimedes ceased to be an individual. For that brief period he became one with the existence.

Beloved Osho, the strange thing is that all discoveries come out of the blue; the scientific explanation is always made afterwards, and then in the lecture the scientist usually presents his discovery, which is not his, as if it followed from his theory -- which was invented afterwards; hence, the lie. This drive to frame everything, being trained as a scientist, is pretty strong in me. But still, the miracle can never be explained away. It happened -- what more proof? How to allow to be more and more in the miraculous, to be in the miracle all the time?

But life is not logic, fortunately. Otherwise the person who has been working hard the whole day will have to work hard the whole night too. In his whole life he will not get any rest, because his training and his discipline will become more and more mature and more and more ripened. It is good that life has a dynamic, a dialectics. All day you have been making great effort -- you have earned relaxation. You need relaxation, you have worked hard. Nature is compassionate. The emperor has been resting the whole day, he does not need any sleep at night. Nature does not care whether he is an emperor or a beggar. The dialectics of life is that the people who make great effort for enlightenment will not achieve by their effort. One day they will have to give it all up, and in that moment of relaxation…

Question: BELOVED OSHO, MODERN SCIENTISTS LIKE KARL PRIBRAM, DAVID BOHM AND OTHERS, HAVE BEEN STUMBLING ON RELIGION. THEY HAVE BEEN STATING THAT OUR BRAINS MAY BE HOLOGRAMS, INTERPRETING A HOLOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE; THAT CERTAIN CIRCUITS IN THE BRAIN ARE THE TRIGGER OF CONSCIOUSNESS WITHOUT A CONTENT, THAT IT IS THE ANALYTICAL, THE THINKING PART OF THE MIND, THAT CREATES SEPARATION AND FRAGMENTATION WHILE THE INTUITIVE PART EXPERIENCES REALITY IN A HOLISTIC WAY; THAT ENERGY IS A LIMITED TERM NEEDING TO BE REPLACED BY A WAVE CONCEPT. THEY ARE PROPOSING `RESONANCE' AND `SYNCHRONCITY' AS MORE APPROPRIATE TERMS. BELOVED OSHO, WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MIND DO YOU MOSTLY MEAN THE THINKING PART -- THE ONE WHICH CREATES OUR BELIEF SYSTEMS AND PERSONALITIES? IS IT ENOUGH TO TOTALLY DISIDENTIFY WITH THE THINKING, OR DOES THE MIND ALTOGETHER -- INCLUDING THE CONSCIOUS AND THE SUPERCONSCIOUS -- NEED TO BE TRANSCENDED?

Osho, yesterday you spoke about the feminine mystery of existence. Kindly shed more light on this subject in greater detail.

All the dimensions of existence can be divided into the feminine and the masculine. The division of woman and man is not merely a sexual division. In Lao Tzu’s vision, the division into feminine and masculine is the very dialectics of life, an essential part of life’s dialectical evolution. Man and woman differ not only at the level of the body; they also differ at the level of the mind. Wherever existence manifests, there the polarity of feminine and masculine will appear. But in understanding Lao Tzu, keep one thing in mind: the masculine is the transient form of existence, and the feminine is its eternal form. Like the wave that rises on the ocean—its rising is momentary. The ocean was there before the wave, and will be there after the wave. Femininity is the ocean of existence; the masculine is a passing wave. Hence the Judaic tradition that narrates…
