What is the concept of God in Indian philosophy?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"God is not a concept to be defined or confined; it is an experience to be lived in the silence of oneness with existence."
According to Osho, there is no uniquely 'Indian' concept of God at all; any concept is already false. God, like truth, is beyond ideas, symbols, and theologies—these are dead creations of the calculating mind. The divine can neither be asserted nor represented; it must be known inwardly and lived in silence, through oneness with existence, available to anyone, anywhere.
God isn’t something to define with words; be still and open, and you can feel it inside you and in all life.
