Core Insight:
According to Osho, God neither descends nor ascends—God simply is. 'Descent' and 'ascent' describe the seeker’s experience: through surrender, devotion, and prayer one feels God descending within (avatar); through will, effort, meditation, and yoga one feels oneself rising to godliness (teerthankara/buddha). Both reveal the same truth: man is a forgotten God remembering himself.
