Core Insight:
According to Osho, prayer belongs to the 'bullock cart' era of religion: a fear-driven, childish dependence on a protective Father-figure and petitioning an imagined God. In contrast, he proposes meditation as the mature, 'spaceship' era—no asking, no outside savior, but inner silence and responsibility. Thus, unlike Jesus’ prayer-centered path, Osho replaces petitionary devotion with experiential awareness.
