Criterion

Q: What is the criterion for evaluating experiences?

According to Osho, there is no fixed criterion for evaluating experiences. Any demand for a universal yardstick is misguided; the very search exposes its impossibility. Instead of clinging to borrowed measures, investigate directly and see. If you ever discover a definitive standard, report it—but the point is that none exists, freeing you to inquire without secondhand authority.

Q: What is the criterion?

According to Osho, there is no external, fixed criterion for truth or rightness; only your own lived experience can serve as the measure. No scripture, teacher, or ideology can replace the immediacy of inner seeing. One must experiment inwardly, trust awareness, and allow direct experience to be the sole touchstone; there’s no way around it.

Criterion

In the spirit of Osho's teachings, truth and rightness emerge not from external doctrines but from the depths of one's lived experience, where the immediacy of inner awareness becomes the only true touchstone, inviting each individual to explore and trust their own journey.
