Why is the positive side of the mind considered better than the negative if heaven and hell are on the same plane?

The mind contracts with every no, leading to inner suicide, while the heart expands with every yes, transforming existence into a celebration of love and joy.

— Osho
According to Osho, the mind thrives on saying no, which contracts your being, breeds meaninglessness, and slowly becomes inner suicide—hell. The heart says yes; this affirmation opens you to love, beauty, and celebration—life. Even if heaven and hell are on the same mental plane, choosing yes shifts you from a shrinking, negative mind to the heart’s expansive aliveness, turning existence into joy rather than despair.

Saying yes with your heart makes life bigger and happier; saying no with your head makes you small and sad.
