Do you believe in God as a supreme power governing the world?

definition
"Spiritual truth is not a belief to be accepted but a reality to be realized through direct experience and awareness."
According to Osho, believing in a supreme God who governs the world is still only belief—not knowing. For him, belief is a form of ignorance that substitutes secondhand ideas for direct experience. He urges moving beyond concepts and authority to firsthand knowing through awareness and meditation. Spiritual truth is to be realized, not believed.
Don’t just believe in a boss-like God—discover truth yourself by experiencing it directly.
