definition
"God is recognized not through belief or comparison, but in the instant when the inner light of samadhi descends, dissolving doubt and revealing supreme bliss."
According to Osho, God is recognized not by prior knowledge or comparison but by a direct, self-evident happening: when samadhi—the inner light—descends, recognition is instantaneous and doubt ends. Like a first headache or a thorn, its very occurrence is the proof. Thought falls silent, darkness dissolves, and supreme bliss overflows; no belief, measure, or external sign is needed.
You know God is there the moment it happens—like a first headache—so clear that thinking stops and you’re filled with light and peace.
