Core Insight:
According to Osho, Nietzsche’s “God is dead” is not about ultimate reality dying but the collapse of the oppressive, external, Judeo‑Christian God‑idea. Osho applauds this revolt: when that idol falls, “rejoice—man is absolutely free,” no longer dominated by fear and authority. He honors Nietzsche’s courage, blaming the Church’s repression for his breakdown and saying, in a freer Eastern climate, it could have become a breakthrough.
