Inquiry is a risk - OSHO Talks Vol. 6

Theists believe in God, without knowing Him, without any experience; their belief is just a way to escape from doubt, Osho tells us. However, to remain in doubt requires tremendous courage. Not escaping from doubt is one of the fundamental qualities of the seeker and believing is an escape. Covering your doubts will always give you a sense of relief. However, it is a false security because inside you still know that you don't know. According to Osho: Inquiry is a risk. It is walking into the unknown. You don't know what is going to happen. You leave everything that you are used to, that you are comfortable with, and you start walking into the unknown, not being absolutely sure even if there is something on the other shore, or if there is not even another shore. So people cling to theism, or those who are a little bit stronger, the intellectuals, the intelligence.
