Why do you bow to the God within human beings?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"We bow to the God within human beings as an acknowledgment of the shared divine presence that transcends images and roles, springing from love rather than motive."
According to Osho, we bow to the God within human beings because the same divine presence lives in all; true reverence honors that living consciousness, not images, roles, or fear. A real bow is causeless, springing from love, not motive. When hands join from this love, there is joy and fearlessness—an acknowledgment of our shared, ubiquitous presence.
I bow because the same living God is in you and me, and love—not fear—makes that bow real.
