What does the word God mean?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"God is not a concept to be understood; it is the experience of life itself when the separate "I" dissolves in love and prayerful dialogue."
According to Osho, the word "God" itself is empty - at best a pointer (from ghu-to, "the called one"). God cannot be understood by intellect; it is felt by turning inward, loving, and entering no-mind. When you fully live and invoke life in prayerful dialogue, the separate "I" melts and you experience life-as-God directly.
God isn't a definition but the living feeling you get when you stop thinking, open your heart, and call to life until it answers.
Why this matters practically
- Shift from overthinking to meditation, love, and presence to sense the sacred.
- Engage life directly (prayer/dialogue) to evoke depth, meaning, and aliveness.
- Rely on firsthand experience instead of secondhand beliefs and concepts.
