Can a worldly person attain God despite having home, family, and relationships?

Realization is not found in escape, but in awakening to the stillness and clarity within you, right where you are. Your family and work do not obstruct your path to God; only your distracted mind does.

— Osho
According to Osho, the belief that a householder cannot realize God is false. God permeates everything; escape changes nothing because you carry your restless mind with you. Realization happens not by running but by awakening—cultivating inner stillness, clarity, and freedom from conflict—right where you are: in your shop, home, or ashram. Neither family nor work obstructs; only distractedness does.

You can find God without leaving your family; just wake up inside and be calm, because the problem isn’t the world, it’s a noisy mind.
