What is the need to be in God?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"To be in God is to transcend all needs and experience the bliss of undivided consciousness, where you realize that the cosmos is your very self."
According to Osho, we feel a need to be in God because we are driven by needs; to be in God means freedom from all need. God is not a person but the ultimate, blissful experience of undivided consciousness, where thought and imagination drop, boundaries dissolve, and your pulse merges with the whole—realizing 'Aham Brahmasmi,' the cosmos as your very self.
Being in God means becoming so whole and quiet inside that you don’t feel needy anymore and you feel one with everything—not meeting a man in the sky.
