Is calling existence intelligent and loving the same as calling it God?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Existence is not a personal God to be worshipped; it is an impersonal intelligence and love that invites you to simply tune in and experience the harmony of being."
According to Osho, no: calling existence intelligent and loving is not the same as calling it God. 'God' implies a personal, creator-deity—limited, judgmental, the centerpiece of worship, scripture, and organized religion. Existence is impersonal, uncreated, infinite, nonjudgmental intelligence and love. Aligning with existence needs no prayer or worship; tune naturally, and the harmony itself is the reward.
It’s not a person called God, but the whole life that’s always here—kind, wise, and not judging—so live in tune with it.
Why this matters practically
- Frees you from fear, guilt, and external commandments; trust your natural being.
- Shifts focus from worship and belief to awareness and alignment with life as it is.
- Brings immediate peace and joy, because harmony with existence is its own reward.
