Is the presence of naturally trickling water over images a sign that a temple is a living temple?

“

A living temple is not defined by the presence of trickling water, but by the depth of awareness and love that resides within.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, naturally trickling water over images is not evidence that a temple is 'living.' Water may drip whether an image is there or not, so such occurrences are false proofs that mislead people. Many places with no falling water may still be truly living temples. The authenticity of a living temple has nothing to do with such external signs, but with something unrelated to these phenomena.
No—dripping water doesn’t prove a temple is alive; some alive temples have no water, and some places with water aren’t alive.
Why this matters practically
- Avoids superstition and gullibility.
- Shifts focus from spectacles to genuine inner experience.
- Encourages discerning authenticity beyond physical signs.
