What is the meaning of repentance in different contexts?

Repentance is not merely about regret; it is a call to respond, to take responsibility, and to return to your source.

— Osho
According to Osho, 'repent' is a three-dimensional, poetic term whose meaning shifts with context: about sin it means genuine repentance; when God calls, it means 'answer'—take responsibility and respond; when the kingdom is at hand, it means 'return'—come back to your source. Old sacred languages allow such multilayered meanings; rigidity flattens religion into prose.

Repent can mean say sorry, say “I’m here” when God calls, or go back home to your true self—depending on the situation.
