What is the soul and what is God?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The soul is a flowing stream yearning to merge with the boundless ocean of God; liberation is found in the fearless surrender to the Whole."
According to Osho, the soul is a flowing stream and God is the boundless ocean. Every stream inevitably moves toward that ocean, and liberation happens the moment the stream dares to lose itself—drown, dissolve, surrender—into the Whole. In that fearless merging, the soul becomes one with the divine presence that lives within all.
Your soul is like a small river that becomes the vast sea (God) when it bravely lets go and merges, and that same divinity sits quietly inside everyone.
