Is devotion a cash religion?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"True devotion is not a transaction; it is the currency of your own experience, paid for with the depth of your being."
According to Osho, devotion is “cash” only when it springs from your own direct experience—paid for with your whole life—not from borrowed beliefs, rituals, or scriptures. True religion requires digging within using the self-forged spade of meditation. To follow masters is to walk as they walked: inwardly. Secondhand religion—labels, memorized texts—is irreligion, mere scholarship without realization.
Real devotion counts only when you discover it inside yourself through meditation, not by copying books, priests, or saints.
Why this matters practically
- Replaces blind following with personal practice and responsibility.
- Turns ritual into living awareness through daily inner ‘digging.’
- Prevents self-deception and borrowed religious identities.
