What is a mystic?

A mystic is not a seeker of knowledge, but a lover of existence, resting in the wonder of being without the need to control or understand.

— Osho
According to Osho, a mystic is an utterly ordinary person who has dropped the urge to become, to know, or to control. He rests in natural being—content, goalless, relaxed—and lives rather than theorizes. Accepting existence as unknowable, he loves and experiences directly, preserving wonder. In renouncing knowledge-as-power, he discovers a deeper, ever-opening mystery through presence, not concepts.

A mystic stops trying to figure everything out and just lives and loves, enjoying the mystery.
