Do you believe in God?

Belief is a fiction created by the mind to escape the uneasiness of meaninglessness; true maturity lies in experiencing beauty, love, and silence directly, without the need for theological props.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, he does not ‘believe’—in God or anything—because belief concerns fictions, not facts. The question of God is irrelevant; the mind invents God to escape the uneasiness of meaninglessness. His approach is to mature the mind to live joyfully without imposed meaning—like a rose or river—discovering beauty, love, and silence directly, without theological props.
I don't pretend about God—just enjoy life right now, like flowers and birds, without needing a big story.
