Ask Osho!

Is the God of the priests and pundits not true?

Synthesized from Source definition

"The God of the priests is a reflection of their own emptiness; seek the living truth within yourself, for prayer is love and cannot be outsourced."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the priests’ God is largely an empty web of words—true only to the extent the priest is true. Religion run by brokers becomes opium and commerce, not transformation. Your God mirrors your own authenticity: if you are false or dead within, so is ‘your’ God. Seek living truth with awakened ones (satsang), and pray yourself—prayer is love, never something to outsource.
If you’re real inside, your God is real—don’t hire religion; learn from the truly awake and let your own loving prayer happen.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts focus from paid rituals to personal, heartfelt practice.
- Builds authenticity and responsibility in your spiritual life.
- Encourages seeking guidance from realized beings rather than intermediaries.
