If we drop the search, would science then never be born?

To discover the inner self, one must drop the search; but for the outer world, it is through inquiry and experimentation that science is born. A complete life harmonizes both the stillness of no-search and the active pursuit of knowledge.

— Osho
According to Osho, dropping the search applies only to discovering the inner self; there, seeking hinders. For outer reality—the domain of sciencetruth appears only through active search: logic, experiment, inquiry. If a culture abandoned all search, science would not arise; but a complete life or society needs both modes—inner no-search for self-realization and outward searching for knowledge, power, and well-being.

Stop searching to know your own heart, but keep searching to understand the world; without outward searching, science wouldn’t happen.
