According to Osho, the mind clings to theism or atheism to escape the hard work of inquiry, borrowing ready‑made certainties that console, give identity, and mask self‑distrust. Beliefs feel like ground underfoot. Remaining neutral means dropping all concepts and facing a vast, supportless not‑knowing—an inner “fire” and solitude. Yet only in this wave‑less emptiness does clear seeing and authentic trust arise.
We grab beliefs because they feel safe and give answers, but staying with no belief feels scary—like having no floor—even though that’s how we truly see.
