What is religion?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Religion is the inner flowering of consciousness, an awakening that transcends borrowed identities and external rules, guiding you to live from your true being."
According to Osho, religion is not an outer creed, code, or sect but the inner flowering of consciousness—the kindling of awareness, the dawn of meditation and samadhi. It is an inner revolution that dissolves borrowed identities and rule-bound dependence. Awakening is right; sleep is wrong. Live from within, trust your being, and keep external rules only for practical harmony.
Religion means waking up inside and living from your own aware heart, not from outside rules or labels.
