What is the essence of man according to Eastern and Western philosophy?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Human consciousness knows no boundaries; it is a singular essence that transcends the artificial divisions of East and West."
According to Osho, there is no separate 'Eastern' or 'Western' essence of man. East–West is a political, mind-made division; human consciousness is one and indivisible. Every land holds both materialist and spiritual tendencies; differences are only of emphasis, not essence. Seeing this, we drop synthetic 'marriages' and divisive identities, allowing a natural unity and peace to emerge.
East and West are just labels; inside, people share the same mind and heart.
