What is the need for religion if we live a right life?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"A truly right life is itself religious; it is living egolessly, with love and forgiveness, that turns your face toward the divine."
According to Osho, there’s no gap between a right life and religion: a truly right life is itself religious. It means living egolessly, with spontaneous love, forgiveness, and a focused mind. Belief in God isn’t required—Buddha and Mahavira prove it. Such living turns your face toward the divine; rightness itself opens the door to godliness.
If you live with no ego, lots of love, forgiveness, and focus, you’re already being religious—even without believing in God.
