Why is there opposition to logic?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Logic is a game of words that can prove anything, but true understanding arises only from direct experience; beyond logic lies the realm of trust, where doubt dissolves and transformation begins."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, logic is opposed because it proves nothing real; it is an empty, circular, verbal game that can be used to 'prove' anything, thereby sustaining doubt. Truth arises only from direct, existential experience, with logic serving at best as a secondary tool to clarify it. He urges moving beyond logic into trust (faith), where doubt drops and transformation becomes possible.
Logic is a clever word game that can’t show truth; only your own lived experience can, so trust life more than arguments.
Why this matters practically
- Prioritize direct experience (meditation, awareness) over endless debate.
- Use logic to clarify, not to decide your deepest choices or values.
- Letting go of overthinking reduces doubt and opens space for trust and change.
