Why is this religion called the first and the last religion?

Silence is the first and the last religion, for it is the wordless realization that transcends all doctrines and answers.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
It’s called the first and last because it starts before words and ends after all questions—in a silence that answers everything.
Why this matters practically
- Stops the endless chase of questions by resting in direct presence.
- Encourages daily silence/meditation for clarity, peace, and grounding.
- Frees you from rigid beliefs, allowing flexible, compassionate living.
