Ask Osho!

What is the need to know if we are the Divine?

Synthesized from Source definition

"The search for knowing if you are the Divine is unnecessary; true realization transcends doubt and renders knowledge redundant."

According to Osho, there is no need to know you are the Divine once it is truly realized; knowledge is redundant then. The very sense of 'if' betrays doubt, and that conditionality is the mischief. The only purpose of the search, inquiry, or practice is to dissolve this 'if' so that direct realization replaces conceptual belief.
Once you truly realize you're divine, you stop needing to know; the only reason to search is to remove the 'if' of doubt.
Why this matters practically
- Aim your effort at dissolving doubt, not collecting beliefs.
- Choose direct experience over endless intellectual inquiry.
- Ease anxiety by clarifying the goal: move beyond 'if' into knowing.
