Faith Quote by OSHO
“Zen comes closer to science than any other religion for the simple reason that it does not require any faith. It requires of you only an intense inquiry into yourself, a deepening of consciousness, not concentration ⬠a settling, a relaxing of consciousness, so that you can find your own source. That very source is the source of the whole existence.”
