Why are we not born with the thirst for God?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The thirst for God lies dormant within us, awakening only when our inner energy matures and we become ready to embrace the divine."
According to Osho, the thirst for God is inborn but latent; like sexuality, it appears only when the body-energy system ripens. As kundalini matures, the hidden longing becomes conscious. Human sensitivity evolves gradually—first in rare individuals, then collectively—so divine yearning awakens in stages, sometimes spontaneously, but usually through inner growth and readiness rather than at physical birth.
You’re born with a wish for God, but it sleeps until you grow inside—just like how kids only feel sexual desire when they mature.
Why this matters practically
- Be patient: your spiritual longing unfolds naturally as you ripen within.
- Cultivate readiness through awareness, meditation, and wholesome living instead of forcing belief.
- Avoid comparison or guilt: everyone awakens in their own time.
