If God is omnipresent, why do wrong acts like theft and murder occur?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"God's omnipresence is not a watchful eye but the essence of freedom, allowing even the unconsciousness of theft and murder to arise from human ignorance and ego. Through meditation and awareness, we can dissolve this unconsciousness and let compassion naturally blossom."
According to Osho, God’s omnipresence is not a supervising policeman but the very fabric of existence, which grants absolute freedom—even the freedom to be unconscious. Wrong acts like theft and murder arise from human ignorance and ego, not God’s absence. Through meditation and awareness, unconsciousness dissolves; compassion flowers naturally, and harmful actions drop without external commandments.
God is everywhere, but we’re free—when we act without awareness we harm, and when we wake up we stop harming.
Why this matters practically
- Practice daily awareness/meditation to reduce harmful impulses.
- Take responsibility instead of blaming fate or God.
- Let compassion guide choices as awareness grows.
