What is the impact of my parents' agnosticism and their divorce on my life?

Your parents' agnosticism may have left a void, but within that emptiness lies the opportunity for your own courageous, meditative seeking; turn inward to discover the silent, beautiful center beyond belief, and watch despair dissolve.

— Osho
According to Osho, your parents’ so‑called agnosticism was likely negative disbelief, not a living search. By discarding religion without inner inquiry, they left a vacuum that ripens into despair—and you inherit confusion rather than direction. The way forward isn’t belief but courageous, meditative seeking: become a positive agnostic, turn inward, discover the silent, beautiful center beyond ideas of God, and despair dissolves.

If your parents only said “no” to religion without looking within, they handed you an empty hole—fill it by calmly looking inside yourself.
