synopsis
Reader of the questions: Sw Yoga Chinmaya.
Question 1
Osho, why have we not been able to create a society which combines both polarities -- philosophy and poetry, science and religion?
Is there a possibility of the total meeting of these polarities?
Which land is more fertile for this meeting -- East or West?
Is this meeting possible only in an individual, or can it exist simultaneously in the society also?
In which way can meditation be useful for this meeting?
What are the factors which can help man to grow in both the dimensions -- science and religion?
Question 2
Osho, last night you said that the West developed reason, intellect and philosophy, whereas the East developed art, mysticism and religion. Once you said that the human mind develops in three phases -- ignorance, knowledge and the transcendence of knowledge that is wisdom. Then is it not true that the West has progressed from ignorance to knowledge, and now can it not step into the third realm, wisdom?
Secondly, is it also not true that it is the East which has given birth to the six great Indian philosophies? Then in what sense do you consider the East anti-philosophic?
