How does the idea of God arise in our minds without external texts like the Gita?

The idea of God is born from the depths of our suffering and restlessness, not from scriptures; true inquiry begins when we turn inward and free ourselves from borrowed words.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
You feel God because life hurts and you want real peace, not because you read about it.
Why this matters practically
- Stops outsourcing faith to books; starts personal inquiry.
- Helps you face pain as a doorway rather than escape it.
- Cultivates silent awareness, reducing dependence on secondhand beliefs.
