Ramakrishna urged him to read out a few lines from a book Ashtavakra Gita lying there. As Narendranath, he was extremely argumentative, an theist, a rationalist. When he came to Ramakrishna his name was still Narendranath – later on Ramakrishna named him Vivekananda.

There he chose to talk on Ashtavakra Gita, calling it Mahageeta. After these public discourses, Osho moved to his ashram in Pune and settled there. Absolute receptivity or innocence alone is demanded and discoveries of this state can’t be expressed in conceptual terms and this means that all ideological battles or appropriations of Vedantic and Sufi “position” are suspect.Thousands of people did throng to Osho’s public discourses at the open grounds of Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Pune. Nothing needs to be done to access any proposed beyond of thought. The key arguments of the paper are that for achieving liberation or enlightenment we need not invoke any notion of beyond as a separate existential or conceptual category and then question, debate, relate to or be skeptical of it. I first quote some verses from Asthavakra Gita that question a simplistic transcendentalist interpretation of Vedanta or Sufism and plead for seeing nondualism as an existential therapy that results in changed attitude towards everything by change in self definition rather than a speculative metaphysical inquiry or philosophy in the modern sense of the term. Though explicitly upholding that the world as ordinarily experienced is not to be equated with Reality as such their view of transcendence needs to be understood in more nuanced way that appropriates much of reservations against transcendentalist thought currents today. Their primary interest is existential and psycho-spiritual and not any explanatory theory regarding this or the other world. Idealistic mystical philosophies of diverse traditions are not speculative ontological inquiries but fundamentally ways of looking at the world and their cognitive claims are often misrepresented with simplistic label of transcendentalism. The hypothesis of transcendental beyond needed to be affirmed as an object of faith and a proposition is here argued to be superfluous. Nondualism as presented in Ashtavakra Gita, Sankara and Ibn Arabi implies the thesis that there is no need to invoke any notion of abstract beyond conceived in opposition to the world.
