Why is God referred to as 'He' if God is a She?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"God transcends gender; to label the divine is to limit the limitless."
According to Osho, God is neither male nor female—either both or neither—the vast synthesis where all opposites become complementary. He uses 'he' or 'she' only to unsettle fixed beliefs, not to define the divine. Like Buddha’s tailored replies, the point isn’t doctrine but dissolving concepts so silence and direct experience can reveal what language cannot.
God isn’t a boy or girl; Osho shifts pronouns to break our labels so we seek quiet, direct experience instead of arguing about words.
