Temptation

Q: Does God lead us into temptation in Jesus' prayer 'Our Father'?

According to Osho, God does not lead anyone into temptation; being pure goodness, He only invites surrender. Temptation arises in us because God's goodness dissolves the ego. The mind resists with a 'no' to preserve the sense of 'I'. Goodness flows through you; evil you do. Adam's 'no' creates ego; Jesus's 'yes' vanishes it - choose surrender, not opposition.

Temptation

Temptation emerges not from God, who embodies pure goodness and beckons us to surrender, but from the ego's resistance to that divine invitation; in choosing surrender like Jesus, we dissolve the 'I' that clings to its own 'no,' allowing goodness to flow freely through us.

definition

"God does not lead you into temptation; temptation arises when your ego resists the pure goodness that invites you to surrender. Choose the path of 'yes' like Jesus, and let go of the 'no' that creates your ego."

God isn’t tricking you; your own ego tempts you to say 'no' because saying 'yes' to goodness makes the ego disappear.
