Osho was once confronted by a few young men who asked him if he believed in God.

Osho answered “No. What relation is there between God and belief? I know God?"

He narrated the young men a story.

A revolution broke out in some country that was up to bringing about a lot of changes. One of the changes was to destroy religion !

It so happened that an old beggar was arrested.
“Why do you believe in God?," the beggar was asked by the revolutionaries.

The beggar replied, “I do not believe, but God is there!"
“How do you know that God exists?," he was further asked.
The old beggar said, “After opening my eyes, I have seen none other than Him, ever since I am seeing"
The reply of the beggar threw the questioners into a rage. “Soon we are going to kill all your monks and nuns! What do you do then?" asked they.

The beggar laughed and said, “If it is God's wish!"
This shook the balance of the revolutionaries a little. They said, “We are going to destroy all the sign of God in the world"

The old man however was unperturbed. He said, “If God wills it so! But how can you destroy all signs because whatever remains will prove His existence! Even if you have to destruct all things, you will be present to announce His existence as He is all pervasive!"

Osho says, all misconceptions regarding God are attributed to the fact of looking at God as a man. God is not a person. He is 'what is'! All the misunderstandings are due to the thought of believing in God!The master further reveals with an illustration. There is no meaning in believing in Light! It can be seen only if the eyes are open.

Osho says discrimination with eyes fully open will lead man to the truth. Truth is God and there is no other God other than truth which is reality or 'What is'
