According to Osho, theism is not belief but total acceptance—a trustful yes to the whole. Saying yes aligns the wave with the ocean, reconnecting you to totality; it arises from inner wholeness and brings relaxation and expansion. Saying no is the ego’s resistance, creating separation, tension, and eventual breakdown. Thus, acceptance is the essence and practice of theism.
Being a theist means trusting life like a wave trusts the ocean—by saying yes instead of fighting it.
