According to Osho, the urge to know the soul springs not from prior certainty but from encountering an inner unknown. Curiosity flowers when assumptions fall away and we stand before our darkness asking, Is there something or nothing? Dogmatic belief that "the soul is within" kills inquiry; borrowed conclusions numb the search. Childlike, assumption-free wonder is the right soil for authentic discovery.
We want to look inside because we truly don’t know what’s there; if we pretend we already know, we stop exploring.
