What is faith?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Faith is not a belief but an innocent openness to truth, a commitment to inquiry that allows you to move unguarded into the unknown."
According to Osho, faith is not belief but an innocent, self-trusting openness to truth—a commitment to inquiry rather than doctrines. It trusts that existence is a discoverable cosmos and that your own consciousness can know it. Faith makes you wakeful, alone, and free, moving unguarded into the unknown without borrowed certainties.
Faith means trusting yourself to explore and find truth, instead of taking secondhand beliefs as facts.
