What is the need for temples if meditation leads to samadhi and samadhi leads to God?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"When true meditation blossoms into samadhi, you discover that God is not confined to temples; the entire universe becomes a sacred space."
According to Osho, temples are neither to be worshiped as exclusive houses of God nor to be destroyed; after true meditation flowers into samadhi, you realize God is everywhere, so the whole life becomes a temple. Keep existing temples, but don't confine divinity to them—nor seek holiness by attacking them. Let awareness turn all places sacred.
When you truly awaken, you see God everywhere, so you don’t need special buildings—nor should you fight them.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces conflict by ending the urge to idolize or destroy sacred places.
- Helps you find the sacred in ordinary moments and relationships.
- Frees you from relying on places or objects to feel close to the divine.
