Ask Osho!

Isn't devotion merely a kind of imagination or dreaming?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Devotion may appear as dreaming to the intellect, but in the heart's language, it is the truest reality that can lead you to God. Choose the path that awakens your heart, for it is in love and poetry that the divine reveals itself."

Devotion isn’t pretend—it’s the heart’s way of knowing truth, like a loving dream that can guide you to the divine.
Why this matters practically
- Choose the path that fits you—devotion if your heart blossoms, knowledge/meditation if your head does.
- Treat imagination as a sacred tool; use loving images, song, and remembrance to deepen connection.
- Avoid lifeless rationalism; let devotion bring joy, celebration, and meaning into daily life.
