I have no special doctrine or philosophy

A Cup of Tea

“…but I have faith in certain existential situations through which I can throw you into the unknown,” writes Osho in letter 165

Osho in Mt Abu

Love.
I have no special doctrine or philosophy,
no set of concepts or intellectual formulas,
but only certain irrational devices
through which I can push you into the unknown.

I do not believe in any theories
or any systems of thought,
but I have faith in certain existential situations
through which I can throw you into the unknown.

Intellectual understanding is not understanding at all
but only a deception.
Understanding is always of the total,
of the whole being.
Intellect is only a part, and that too a minor one,
but it plays as the whole
and thereby creates all sorts of stupidities.

Do not be identified with your intellect.
Dissolve it into the whole of your being,
and then you will know what understanding is —
and the bliss and the ecstasy that follow it
inevitably.
