Core Insight:
According to Osho, the Sufi ‘heart’ is simply a poetic name for a refined sector of mind—feeling, imagination, dreaming—so devotion still works within mental imagery. Zen’s “empty heart” means empty mind: heart and mind are synonymous, and the task is to drop all contents. When the inner room is unfurnished, its spacious emptiness becomes a doorway to the ever-present divine.
