According to Osho, religion is a universal invitation—not an elitist escape—for all to heal the sick soul; few accept it, fewer complete it. The world is a hospital/university: through practice you become in the world but not of it, and ultimately free. This is not dissolving into nothingness; by dropping our diseases (attachments, ignorance), the world’s dreamlike emptiness falls away and wholeness, truth, and inner light are realized.
Religion invites everyone to get inwardly healthy by letting go of what hurts us, so we can live here wisely and, when fully healed, be free.
