What is religion?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Religion is the highest flight of human consciousness, a journey into the silent being where one discovers their own godliness and the unity of existence."
According to Osho, religion is the highest flight of human consciousness—the individual, unborrowed search for inner truth. By turning senses inward and practicing watchful awareness, one moves beyond thoughts and feelings into silent being—one’s own godliness. This meditative realization reveals truth, beauty, and oneness with existence; the seeker comes home, effort ends, and life flowers in unity with all.
Religion means looking inside yourself, quietly watching your thoughts until you discover a peaceful you that feels one with everything.
