OSHO

EITHER/OR 

Mind functions in an either/or way: either this can be right or its opposite can be right. Both together cannot be right – as far as mind, its logic, its rationality, is concerned.  If mind is either/or, then the heart is both/and. The heart has no logic, but a sensitivity, a perceptivity. It can see that not only can both be together; in fact, they are not two. 

It is just one phenomenon, seen from two different aspects. And there is much more than the two – that’s why I say “both/and.”  And the heart is always right. If there is a question of choosing between the mind and the heart... because mind is a creation of the society. It has been educated.ucated. It has been given to you by the society, not by existence. The heart is unpolluted. It is pure existence; hence, it has a sensitivity.  Look from the viewpoint of the heart, and the contradiction starts melting like ice.
