What is the relationship between creation and eternal existence?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Existence is uncreated and eternal, needing no external cause; it simply is—beginningless, endless, and self-sufficient."
According to Osho, there is no real divide: existence itself is uncreated and eternal, needing no external cause or creator. The logic that posits a creator ends in infinite regress; if something must be uncaused, let it be existence. Creation myths serve priestly interests, but reality simply is—beginningless, endless, self-sufficient.
Everything has always been here by itself, so we don’t need a separate ‘maker’ behind it.
Why this matters practically
- Frees you from fear-based beliefs and reliance on religious intermediaries.
- Encourages direct, present-moment inquiry into reality instead of chasing origins.
- Cultivates responsibility and wonder for existence as it is.
