Why is the essence of your religion so simple and celebratory?

True religion is not a possession but a celebration of our shared essence, where the dropping of ego reveals the clarity and joy of being.

— Osho
According to Osho, religion is simple and celebratory because it isn’t anyone’s possession—it is our very nature, the same timeless fragrance expressed through different instruments. Where “I” and “mine” drop, division, ritualism, and pride dissolve; what remains is clarity, innocence, and a spontaneous joy. True religion is a pilgrimage from ego to being, hence its ease, universality, and festive tone.

Let go of “me” and “mine,” and you naturally feel one with life—then religion feels easy and turns into celebration.
