Should I believe in the concept of Godliness despite my skepticism?

Doubt your doubt until it cancels itself, and in that pure space, unborrowed faith will naturally arise.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, don’t paste a belief in godliness over a tired, unfinished doubt. Take skepticism to its peak—doubt even your doubt. At that climax, doubt cancels itself and a virgin, unborrowed faith arises naturally. Partial skepticism only paralyzes action; complete skepticism matures into trust, making meditation and the experience of the divine possible. Let doubt remove doubt, like a thorn removing a thorn.
Don’t force belief; keep questioning until you even question your questioning, and then real trust in life/Godliness will appear by itself.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents adopting secondhand beliefs that hide confusion
- Transforms skepticism into clarity and commitment for meditation and action
- Reduces paralysis so you can actually explore inner experience
