What is the nature of God in relation to human intelligence?

Synthesized from Source definition

"God is the dream of the sleeping mind; when true intelligence awakens, the idea of God dissolves, revealing the sacredness of all that is alive."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, ‘God’ is a dream of the sleeping mind—an invention of the unintelligent. As no-mind awakens, true intelligence (beyond intellect) ignites; then the idea of God vanishes and a direct reverence for life appears. You don’t find a separate deity; you discover everything is sacred because everything is alive, known through awakened awareness.
When you truly wake up inside, the idea of a separate God fades and you directly feel how sacred and alive everything is.
Why this matters practically
- Replace belief with awakened awareness in daily choices
- Treat people, nature, and your body as sacred, living expressions
- Rely on direct experience over second-hand ideas
