Why do we assume that the attainment of God is the goal of human life?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Attaining God is not the fulfillment of a goal, but the realization that life itself is goalless, flowing effortlessly like the wind, rivers, and clouds."
According to Osho, we call ‘attaining God’ the goal because it is the only ‘aim’ whose fulfillment ends all aims. Ordinary pursuits endlessly generate new desires; the Divine is a state of supreme rest, desirelessness, and bliss in which nothing remains to be achieved. Paradoxically, true attainment reveals life itself is goalless, flowing like wind, rivers, and clouds.
Seeking God means stopping all seeking—when you truly arrive, wanting ends and life flows peacefully on its own.
