Is the integration of various questions an example of the oneness of all?

Beloved Osho, you seem to mixing together all of our questions. It's like puzzle pieces, where all the pieces fit together perfectly in the end. Is this one example of the oneness of all?

The truth is, with numbers, at the most I can remember up to three. After that, I don't know what number comes. Secondly, all the questions that I choose have a certain coherence, a certain inner unity. It may not be apparent to you. When I speak, if I go into one question in absolute detail, then I cannot deal with another question on that day. One question will be enough for two and a half hours. So I have my way; I introduce the first question, answer its essential points; then I take the second question, answer its essential points, and if there is any point there that can emphasize something in the first question, I bring in the first question again. And it is not done in any systematic way because I have not prepared it. It is just my sensitivity and my spontaneity. I simply go with…

Osho, the witness, the seer, consciousness is always separate—virginal and unbound. And the whole play of life is nothing but the movement of the gunas within themselves. In such a situation, if a person’s qualities of sattva, rajas, and tamas are calmed in a scientific or chemical way, or if a person is made sattvic, will he then attain that ever-free witness? If the witness is forever free and present, then by chemically altering the three gunas will it not be revealed? Would the person not then become religious? What is the fundamental difference between solving the problem arising from the

Sadhana means we are dissolving the current itself, not breaking the bulb. There is no point in breaking the bulb. In fact, the bulb is useful; it tells you whether the current is flowing or not, whether there is current or not. Your anger within tells you you are still sunk in ignorance. Lust tells you your life energies have not yet become aware. If we remove these elements, anger will stop manifesting and you will also stop knowing that you are in deep ignorance. It is as if a man is sick and we snatch away the symptoms of his disease so that he doesn’t even come to know he is ill. And keep in mind, anger is an opportunity. Only the unwise say anger is simply bad; I do not say so. Anger is an opportunity; you can use it badly or well. Anger is a chance. In…

But Osho, I have learned that there are four types of movement: physical movement, intellectual movement, emotional movement, and the fourth is wisdom. Perhaps, in the ultimate state of leisure, what is meaningful is that a person’s intellectual or emotional capacities be stimulated, so that he can shift from one plane and move to another?

This is exactly what I am saying: for human energies to move into higher dimensions, it is essential that one be freed from the lower. So I do not say that the old man’s answer to Confucius was right. I do not agree with the old man—though I have heard that Confucius agreed with him. Gandhi would have agreed with him; I would not. In my view, perhaps the old man saved his son from laziness, but then what? The boy would still die harnessed to the plough like an ox. And if the old man thinks that if the boy uses a tool he will become a machine, has he noticed that by yoking him like a bull he is turning him into a bull? That does not occur to him. Besides, using a machine is not possible for an animal; it is possible only for man. So rather…

Osho, it seems that the expansion of consciousness or awareness is the root of all spiritual practice. Then, through the many paths—jnana and bhakti, yoga and tantra, action and nonaction, and so on—is it this same basic element that is being sought? And if this is the very needle we have to find, why is such a dense jungle of doctrines erected around it?

Truth is very little, extremely small. It can fit into a single moment, even into a single word. But in that form you will not understand it. You cannot see that atom. It is so subtle that you will miss it. To show you that tiny truth, your intellect makes many demands. The nets of doctrine are not erected to point to truth; they are erected to satisfy your intellect. And without that satisfaction, you cannot enter into the search. All your questions are futile. What Arjuna asks of Krishna is futile. What Ananda asks of Buddha is futile. But he asks; and until answers are given, his journey will not begin. Even if you are asking in vain, the true master still has to answer. Merely telling you that it is futile will not satisfy you. Merely saying it is irrelevant, that there is no point in asking, will…

Beloved Osho, putting together all your statements about one subject or question, there are not just contradictions, but such a richness of different viewpoints and angles from which you look at the question... So many colors. When you talk about a certain subject, something in me starts dancing, remembering some of the answers you have given before. What's happening?

Every time one realizes something of the truth, there is a dance in the heart. The heart is the only testimony for the truth. And it cannot testify through words. It can testify in its own way: trough love, through dance, through playing music: nonverbal -- it speaks, but it does not speak in language and logic. And this is a realization of a certain truth which many people go on missing. They think what I am saying is contradictory, because they are thinking -- and thinking is a logical process. And logic can never see beyond contradictions; it has no way to bridge contradictions. Logic is a divider, not a joiner. The whole of humanity is divided by the mind: the Christian from the Hindu, the Mohammedan from the Jew, the Indian from the American, the German from the Italian. Mind goes on dividing -- divisions within divisions within…
