En Creencia, duda y fanatismo, Osho reflexiona en torno a una de las interrogantes vitales del ser humano y la vía para darle respuesta: la búsqueda de la verdad a través de la fe y las religiones, y cómo la necesidad de encontrarla, aunada a la falsa certeza de haber hallado la verdad, puede cegar a las personas al grado de sacar su propio centro. Osho invita a poner en crisis los credos, personales, ya sean políticos, sociales o religiosos, para superar el miedo a lo desconocido y desarrollarse plenamente como persona.

El Zen para intelectuales, sépase de una vez, nunca fue para “intelectuales”. El lenguaje del Zen significa, desde tiempos inmemoriales, un fuerte, aunque muy artístico embate, contra la obsesión humana de jugar a intelectualizar todo lo que se encuentra a su “alcance”: desde el sentido de las diez mil cosas, hasta las razones del mundo increado. El Zen que da vida a esta obra, es una filosofía antifilosófica que pretende todo, menos afianzarse a la mente de algún simpatizante; por el contrario, busca, de cara a las exigencias de la experiencia de la existencia, desintegrarse.

One of these is the necessity we have to live, to till the soil, to gather food, to clothe ourselves, to get materials from nature. We are always making things that will satisfy our needs, always in touch with this great world through hunger and thirst. Then, we have our mind; and our mind seeks its own food. It must find out reason in things, faced with a multiplicity of facts, and bewildered when it cannot find one unifying principle which simplifies the heterogeneity of things.
