"Friends,
"One sannyasin has asked me:Cannot we disagree with you? Cannot we criticize you?"A significant question for everyone.
"This is not a debating club. Neither your agreement is needed, nor your disagreement. What..."

Osho continues:
"Our whole approach is beyond the mind.

"You have to learn how to listen, how to be silent and let your silence decide. Let your no-mind decide. And I know that your no-mind will be in absolute synchronicity with what I am saying to you. I will not use the word agreement – that word belongs to the mind – nor disagreement. They are two polarities of the mind – positive/negative, theist/atheist, believer/nonbeliever.

"I am trying to approach your no-mind, where it is never a question of choice. No-mind functions choicelessly. Once I have approached the no-mind, if you have allowed me, putting your prejudices aside, you won't have to agree or disagree, you will find an immense synchronicity. You will be in absolute harmony with me. And only that harmony can help your evolution.

"What will you do with agreement? Just a belief will be created, and I am against all beliefs. What will you do with your disagreement? Your prejudice will remain, and your prejudice is your problem. You will remain within the boundaries of your past upbringing, your programming by the family, by the school, by the society, by the church.

"This is not an intellectual discussing club; this is a place for seekers. It is a totally different phenomenon than you will come across anywhere else around the world. Here, we are searching to find a deep harmony. If you can be harmonious with me – it is not agreement – you are one with me. Agreement needs two. If you can be harmonious with me, I can transfer much that cannot be said. And only that which cannot be said is going to help your growth.

"The other night, those Christian monks were here. They behaved in a very mannerly way, but they said at the gate when asked by Narendraone man told him, 'I like everything, and I have been doing Dynamic and Kundalini Meditation for four and a half months, and I have been immensely helped in dropping my tensions, my mind stress. But then I felt suddenly, something is missing.' And what is missing? – service, service to the poor.

"Now this is his upbringing, continuous Christian teaching, which becomes a barrier."
