Are the illusions of God and ego one and the same?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Ego and God are twin illusions, sustaining each other; when you rest in non-doing, both dissolve, revealing the empty, centerless being that is your true reality."
According to Osho, yes: ego and God are twin illusions—imaginary centers, one in the individual and one projected onto the universe—sustaining each other. Religions fortify ego through constant doing, making God appear logical. When you rest in non-doing and silence, the spinning stops; ego evaporates, and with it God. What remains is empty, centerless being—your true reality.
God and ego are pretend centers we imagine; when you stop all the busy doing and rest silently, both vanish and the real you remains.
