practice
"When gratitude awakens in your heart, religiousness blooms effortlessly, transcending the confines of churches and creeds."
According to Osho, the master helps by awakening gratitude for existence and turning the seeker from borrowed beliefs to direct experience. Through shocks and insight-provoking devices, he reveals the pricelessness of life—eyes, ears, breath—and points to the true temple: the living sky, trees, rivers. When gratitude opens the heart, religiousness flowers naturally, without churches, creeds, or a hypothetical God; receptivity replaces ritual.
A master makes you grateful for being alive and shows that life itself is the temple, so you don’t need a religion to be truly spiritual.
