What is existence?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Existence is the living reality that unfolds in silence; when you align with it, fear and tension dissolve, revealing the deep peace of being."
According to Osho, existence is what is: the living, present reality accessible through silence and meditation, not a belief or mental creation like “God.” Aligning with existence brings health and wholeness—fear, tension, and the idea of death fade—revealing deep peace and contentment as we recognize ourselves as waves in the boundless ocean of being.
Existence is the real, living now; quiet your mind and you’ll feel you’re part of it, like a wave in the ocean.
