If you call Sadhguru a philosopher, he would not like it. But Sadhguru’s interpretation of certain parts of Gita is exactly the same as how Osho interprets it. Shankara interprets in one way Ramanuja in another way and Madhva does it in a different way. How do I say so? Because, Gita has been interpreted in various ways. It is a very long one, but he has at least read a few parts of it. But he has certainly read Osho’s commentary on Gita. Sadhguru has never read Bhadwad Gita directly as he himself says. You can read it here: Path of Samadhi and Pragna – Talks by Sadhguru and Osho (the whole Samyama program is based on these two practices and some mantra chanting the practices are indeed powerful)
But since Sadhguru’s source of information mainly comes from Osho’s books, you can see him repeating the same words in one of his lectures. But Osho’s choice of words here is unique to Osho. It is true As far as I have seen, practices in Vedanta, Buddhism and many other spiritual traditions are either of developing concentration or of developing insight (inquiry or awareness of moment to moment experiences including breath, sensations, thoughts etc). In English, it means ‘concentration’ and ‘insight’. This is Osho’s own choice of words while expressing the distinction between Shamatha and Vipasana of Buddhism. For example, once he said that there are only two paths to liberation, Samadhi and Prajna. Osho is totally independent in his choice of words. To explain with evidence, I am pasting a part of the answer that I wrote in Quora: His word choice, anecdotes, views and many others are directly from the talks of Osho. Since then, I happened to notice many things which gave me a confirmation that Sadhguru has read Osho’s books extensively.
I wrote the original content of this post many months before.
