Does God ever remember me?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"God does not need to remember you; you exist in His eternal remembrance. Devotion is not a bargain, but a grateful expression of love for the Divine that has never forgotten you."
According to Osho, God never needs to 'remember' you—He has never forgotten you. Your very breath and being are sustained in His remembrance; if He forgot, you would not exist. The mature stance is devotion without demand: remember the Divine because you have strayed, not to bargain for reciprocation. Trust that you are eternally held, and let prayer be grateful, unconditional love.
You’re alive because the Divine already holds you; your work is to remember Him without asking for payback.
