Is there a psychological concept of God or God at the center in relation to the Divine?

“

God is not a separate being but the totality of existence; true religion is the inquiry into the unknown sources of life within this vastness.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Core Insight:
According to Osho, God is not a psychological concept or a separate Supreme Being but simply a name for whatever is—the totality of existence. The real work is not believing but inquiring: discovering the unknown center/sources of life within this totality. Religion, for him, is that exploratory search, not a hypothesis accepted on faith.
Call it God or truth—it just means everything that exists, and you find its heart not by believing stories but by honestly exploring.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts you from belief to direct experience and investigation.
- Frees you from rigid images of God and related dogmas.
- Guides you toward practical inquiry and meditation to know reality.
