How many fundamental elements are there in the universe?

The real cannot be counted; in the silence of no-mind, there is only the undivided being beyond all numbers.

— Osho
According to Osho, the real cannot be counted: numbers arise from the restless mind that divides; in silent no-mind there is only undivided being, beyond 'one' or 'many'. So he refuses to name elements, pointing instead to two modes of seeing: mind (multiplicity) and no-mind (wholeness), and urges direct, wordless knowing through stillness.

You can’t really count the universe’s pieces—when the mind is quiet, everything is a seamless whole beyond any number.
