What is your definition of religion?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Religion is the inner flowering of consciousness, where virtues arise effortlessly from meditation, not as imposed discipline but as the natural fragrance of awareness and bliss."
According to Osho, religion is not a code of imposed morals or forced celibacy; it is the inner flowering that arises from meditation. When consciousness deepens, virtues like brahmacharya emerge effortlessly—as fragrance, not discipline. True religion is godlike conduct born of awareness, naturalness, and bliss, not repression. Plant meditation, and the fruits—clarity, love, and freedom from lust—appear on their own.
Religion means becoming so quiet inside through meditation that goodness happens by itself, without forcing rules.
