Can a devotee live only by the support of belief?

True devotion is not built on belief, but on the living experience of love and trust that flows from the heart, transcending all doctrines and labels.

— Osho
According to Osho, a devotee cannot live by belief: belief is a secondhand, head-made doctrine, while devotion flowers as love and trust from the heart. The true devotee seeks living experience and union with the Divine—an embrace, not assurances—transcending religious labels. Trust is one’s own, love-infused seeing of existence; thus only direct communion nourishes devotion, whereas borrowed beliefs leave the heart unfed.

A devotee doesn’t live on ideas about God, but on loving, trusting feelings born from real experience—like a warm hug, not promises.
