Why is thinking, theology, and philosophy criticized?

Thinking is mere verbal dreaming; true insight arises not from the mind's constructions but from the silent spaces between thoughts.

— Osho
According to Osho, thinking is mere verbal dreaming—mechanical repetition of the known—so it never opens new windows to reality. Theology is “logic about God,” a contradiction: the divine is approached by love and no-thought, not arguments. Philosophy, after millennia, yields no conclusions, only more problems, because it speculates about the unknown. Real insight arises from direct experiencing—intuitive gaps between thoughts—not from mental constructions.

Because thinking and theories are like talking about food; they never feed you—only tasting (silent, direct experience and love) shows the truth.
