Is healing a religious matter?

outcome
"Healing is not the essence of religion; true spirituality transforms your being, not merely your symptoms."
According to Osho, healing—especially of the body—is not the essence or aim of religion. He dismisses miracle cures and scriptures alike, noting his own illnesses persist. True religion culminates in godliness: an inner flowering, a quality of enlightened consciousness that cannot be worshiped or begged for through prayer. Spirituality transforms being, not medical symptoms.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts focus from chasing miracle healers to cultivating awareness and growth.
- Eases guilt or confusion when illness remains despite prayer or rituals.
- Guides practice toward meditation and inner flowering rather than superstition.
