Is doubt really okay?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Doubt is the beginning of all wisdom; it is the open door to inquiry, while belief is the cage that confines your spirit."
According to Osho, doubt is not only okay, it is the root of real growth. Unlike disbelief (a negative belief), authentic doubt is an open, questioning mind that admits 'I don't know' and seeks firsthand knowing. It refuses borrowed answers, commits to inquiry, and travels to the end for truth. Belief stagnates; doubt liberates.
