Yoga by Osho
"Yoga is not a religion-remember that. Yoga is not Hindu, it is not Mohammedan. Yoga is a pure science just like mathematics, physics, or chemistry. Physics is not Christian, physics is not Buddhist. Even if Christians have discovered the laws of physics, physics is not Christian. It is just accidential that Christians came to discover the laws of physics: psyhics is just a science. Yoga is science - it is just an accident that Hindus discovered it. It is not Hindu; it is a pure mathematics of inner being. So a Mohammedan can be a Yogi, a Christian can be a yogi, a Jain or a Buddhist can be a Yogi." OSHO
"For yoga, no belief is needed. So-called religions need beliefs. There is no other difference between one religion and another ; the difference is only of beliefs. A Mohammedan has certain beliefs, a Hindu certain others, a Christian certain others; the difference is of beliefs. Yoga has nothing as far as beliefs is concerned: yoga doesn't say to believe in anything. Yoga says, "Experience". Just like science says experiment, yoga says experience. Experiment and experience are the same ; just their directions are different. Experiment is something you can do outside; experience is something you can do inside. Experience is an inside experiment."
