I do not agree with this comparison. Yoga is an all encompassing science for which Buddhism exists under. Osho does not.
Buddhas path was very tantric, and not methodical. Awareness of breath, watchfulness, meditation, have to do with the first several tantras(techniques) revealed by Shiva.
Seeking self knowledge is an oxymoron. Yoga means union. A Yogi is someone who experiences everything as themself. A Buddhist achieves this, with yogic techniques, through increasing awareness with methods like meditation, concentration, discipline. A Yogi might achieve this through Kriya Yoga, manipulation of the breath, transfer of energy throughout the body to certain points, and also meditation. They might achieve this by exhausting their Karma through Hatha Yoga, alignment of the body, to be a penetrable vessel for the universe. There are MANY more.
The goal is not self-knowledge. They’re acutely aware of the boundaries, the karma, the flesh, the lust, the heartbreak death and disease, and simply want to remove the boundary. Not for self knowledge, but because the soul longs for boundlessness. It’s an end unto itself. No goal.
