Can one believe in God without seeing Him?

definition
"Belief is a barrier to truth; in the silence of the mind, you will experience the presence of the divine beyond all images and ideas."
According to Osho, belief—like disbelief—is a barrier to truth; don’t believe in God at all. God is not a person to be seen but a presence to be experienced when the mind is silent. Drop all ideas and images through meditation; in no-mind a nameless suchness is felt within—call it godliness, truth, or nirvana—beyond projection and prejudice.
Don’t just believe; quiet your mind and you’ll feel a living presence inside, not a person you can see.
