Science, Art, and Religion

Q: What is the difference between science, art, and religion?

According to Osho, science discovers what is - objective facts. Art invents - objective creations of form and meaning. Religion should do both, but truly it discovers the inner reality; when it merely invents beliefs and myths, it becomes pseudo-religion. Hence art and pseudo-religion long collaborated in shared invention, while true religion aligns with science's spirit of discovery, turned inward.

In the spirit of Osho, true religion harmonizes with science's quest for objective reality while art breathes life into form and meaning; together, they transcend mere invention, revealing the profound inner truths that unite the cosmos and the self.

definition

"True religion is the inner discovery of reality, harmonizing with the spirit of science, while pseudo-religion merely invents beliefs and myths."

Science finds facts outside us, art makes things up beautifully, and real religion finds truth inside; fake religion just makes up stories.
