What is your understanding of who Jesus was and what he advocated?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"To know Jesus, you must transcend the confines of Christianity and encounter the living truth of his essence, free from the shackles of secondhand beliefs. Authentic faith is born only through direct experience and self-realization."
According to Osho, Jesus cannot be known through ‘Christianity’ as a belief system; such conditioning blocks real understanding. He views Jesus as living religiousness, not an institution. Osho urges doubting secondhand beliefs and scriptures, and seeking direct experience; authentic faith arises only after self-realization. To meet Jesus, drop prejudices and encounter truth firsthand, beyond doctrines and claims of “the word of God.”
Don’t copy religion to know Jesus; question hand-me-down beliefs and discover truth yourself through direct experience.
