Ask Osho!

What need does God have for this game?

Synthesized from Source definition

"You are not playing a game for God; you are the divine playing hide-and-seek with your own consciousness, and the moment you choose to stop, the game ends."

According to Osho, God has no need for this game—there isn’t a separate deity making you play. You, the divine itself, are playing hide-and-seek with your own consciousness. Ignorance and suffering persist by your decision, and they end the moment you truly choose to stop. Responsibility, freedom, and the end of the game lie entirely in your hands.
No outside God is forcing this; you’re hiding from yourself, and the game ends the instant you truly decide to end it.
Why this matters practically
- Stop blaming God or fate; take ownership of your choices.
- Choose wholeheartedly instead of wanting both pleasure and liberation.
- Turn inward decisively to end suffering.
