What is faith and does it have to be cultivated?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Faith is not a belief to be cultivated; it is the courageous openness to the vastness of existence, a humble acceptance that transcends the limitations of the mind."
According to Osho, faith is an intuitive sensing that existence is vaster than your knowledge and greater than the intellect—a humble acceptance, like a wave acknowledging the ocean. It is courageous openness beyond the mind’s self-drawn boundary. Faith isn’t cultivated as belief; it flowers when fear and ego shrink, and you dare to look up into the vast.
Faith means trusting that life is bigger than your mind, and it grows when you stop clinging to control and bravely look beyond what you already know.
