Is the teaching in the Gita about dharma correct?

“

Real dharma arises from the direct experience of the Divine within all, not from the confines of exclusive doctrines or egoic identities. Test the teachings for yourself and honor the One that permeates everything.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Core Insight:
According to Osho, he won’t declare the Gita’s teaching on dharma right or wrong; truth isn’t a sectarian verdict but a personal seeing. Real dharma flowers from direct experience of the Divine permeating the whole—not from propagandized claims that God incarnates in a single person or from egoic ‘avatar’ identities. Test teachings yourself; honor the One in all, rather than clinging to exclusive doctrines.
Don’t argue if the Gita is “right”; discover truth by experiencing the same divinity in everyone instead of believing labels or special claims.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents blind sectarianism and hero-worship.
- Centers life on direct experience and shared divinity.
- Reduces ego and conflict over who is ‘right.’
