What is the significance of Abraham?

Abraham is not just a patriarch; he is a timeless lamp of awareness, illuminating the path for all who seek the eternal truth beyond forms and religions.

— Osho
According to Osho, Abraham is the Jews’ patriarch and the first prophet—the initial tirthankara of the Abrahamic stream—from whom Judaism, Christianity, and Islam arose. Yet his deeper significance is symbolic: he is a lamp of the timeless, Sanatan light of awareness. That same light precedes and follows all prophets and Buddhas, appearing through many forms.

Abraham started big religions, but his real importance is that he carried a timeless light of truth that also shines in you.
