Are the words 'God' and 'No-Mind' synonymous?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"God is a mind-made belief, while no-mind is the inner reality of health and freedom; drop your beliefs and discover the timeless awareness that lies within."
According to Osho, 'God' and 'no-mind' are not synonymous: 'God' is a mind-made belief, an external, judgmental fiction used by priests; no-mind is your inner, experiential reality—health, freedom, and the ever-present source of life. God implies creator and creature; no-mind dissolves personality and boundaries, revealing a nonpersonal, timeless awareness that contains existence. Drop beliefs—both theism and atheism—and discover no-mind directly.
No—‘God’ is a belief about something outside you, while no-mind is the quiet, alive space inside you that you can experience now.
