What is the sign by which one can recognize a person who has known God?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The true recognition of one who has known God lies not in external signs, but in the inner illumination that arises from the question, 'Who am I?"
According to Osho, there is no external sign by which to recognize one who has known God; any difference is inner, not measurable. Seeking marks is a distraction. Instead, pull out the arrow of ignorance through self-inquiry—'Who am I?'—and light your own inner lamp by direct experience, not belief or debate.
You can’t spot a knower of God from the outside—stop looking at others and find the truth inside by knowing yourself.
