definition
"True wisdom lies in the balance where yoga and bhoga meet, leading us beyond the extremes of theist and atheist into the joyous union of body and soul."
According to Osho, Eastern philosophy matters only insofar as it restores balance: after the East’s one‑sided obsession with ‘soul’ and renunciation, true wisdom lies in the middle where yoga and bhoga meet. Philosophy should lead beyond theist/atheist extremes into the living harmony of body and soul—the joyous union he calls religion and the fulfillment of human life.
