Is there a window for every consciousness?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Every consciousness gazes toward the divine through its own unique window, yet the differences belong to the house of conditioning, not to the infinite sky of direct experience."
According to Osho, yes—every consciousness peers toward the divine through its own unique window; hence infinite windows, paths, and sects. Yet the ‘differences’ belong to the house—the frame and walls of conditioning—not to the sky itself. When one steps into the open sky of direct experience, apparent divisions vanish; waves dissolve into ocean. Returning to forms, one remains sky-like—inclusive, undivided, beyond labels.
We each look at God through our own little window, but once we step outside, we see it’s the same sky and the walls never really divided it.
Why this matters practically
- Encourages respect for diverse paths and reduces conflict.
- Shifts attention from dogma to direct experience of unity.
- Helps live with identity lightly, returning more open and compassionate.
