What is the significance of accepting our father as our father?

Accept your father as father for the sake of social harmony, but do not confine the divine to the limitations of paternal labels; God is the totality of existence waiting to be discovered within you.

— Osho
According to Osho, accepting 'the father as father' is a practical social convention, not an existential truth; paternity is uncertain and patriarchy made it central. Keep it for smooth living, but never project it onto God. God is not 'Father'—God is total existence to be discovered through inquiry and self-trust, not believed through inherited labels.

Calling someone your father keeps society tidy, but don’t turn God into a father—find truth yourself by looking and learning directly.
