What is the concept of heaven in spiritual teachings?

Heaven is not a distant place, but the present-moment state of silent awareness; it is here and now, where you are in harmony with existence.

— Osho
According to Osho, heaven isn’t a distant place or future reward but the present-moment state of silent, innocent awareness. It is here-now when you are psychically attuned and harmonious with existence; hell is inner disturbance. Mind’s projections of ‘there/then’ create exile from paradise. Meditation dissolves identification with mind, restoring nowness—Eden—as our ever-present reality. There is nowhere to go; only awakening.

Heaven isn’t somewhere you go later—it’s the calm, awake feeling you have right now when your mind is quiet and you feel in tune with life.
