“Question : BELOVED OSHO, I AM A GOD-FEARING MAN, BUT YOU SAY THAT ALL FEAR HAS TO BE DROPPED. HAS THE FEAR OF GOD ALSO TO BE DROPPED?
Osho : Ramchandra, fear is fear: it does not matter of what, of whom. The object makes no difference; your subjectivity is full of fear. And if you are God-fearing you can never be God-loving.
How can you love God if you are afraid of him? You may submit and surrender, but deep down there will be resistance, anger.
And fear is just the opposite of love. Hate is not really the opposite of love - you will be surprised - fear is the exact opposite. Hate is love standing upside down; fear is just the opposite.
And if you follow a religious life out of fear it will be the life of a slave, not of a man who is free. And if you start in fear you cannot end in freedom; you will end in slavery. And all that you will do out of fear is going to be wrong; it is going to be false, superficial.
If you do things out of fear you can't do them with your heart.
Up to now, religion has been based on fear. That's why the earth has remained irreligious or only superficially religious. Religion has remained just something like a painted face: false, pseudo. And the basic reason why it has failed is fear.
The priests have based the religion on fear and greed - which are two aspects of the same coin.
And in the scriptures they have invented so many methods of torture that it seems that Adolf Hitler must have read all the scriptures of the world, otherwise how had he come across so many methods to torture people? They can be found only in religious scriptures.
The priests have based their religion on two basic, ugly instincts: fear and greed. And both have nothing to do with real religion.
Real religion is freedom from greed and freedom from fear.
We love out of fear, we pray out of fear.
Parents are afraid of their children and children are afraid of their parents. Children are afraid of their teachers and teachers are afraid of their pupils. Everybody is afraid of everybody else - it seems as if fear is the only climate we live in.
People are loving even... even love is nothing but fear - a diplomacy, a strategy, to keep things running smoothly.
Ramchandra, if you really know what prayer is then prayer itself is its own reward...praying itself is such a beautiful phenomenon that who cares about the future and who bothers about the reward?
Prayer in itself is such a celebration, it brings such great joy and ecstasy, that one prays for the prayer's sake. One does not pray out of fear and one does not pray out of greed; one prays because one enjoys it.
If you enjoy dancing, you simply dance! Whether anybody sees the dance from the sky or not is not your concern. Whether the stars and the sun and the moon are going to reward you for your dance, you don't care. The dance is enough of a reward in itself. If you love singing you sing; whether anybody listens or not is not the point.
So is prayer. It is a dance, it is a song, it is music, it is love. You enjoy it, and there it is finished.
Prayer is the means and prayer is the end; the ends and the means are not separate. Only then do you know what prayer is.
Prayer means surrender. Prayer means bowing down to existence. Prayer means gratitude. Prayer means thankfulness. Prayer means silence. Prayer means that "I am happy that I am." Prayer simply means that "This tremendous gift of life is so much for such an unworthy man like me. I don't deserve it, yet the unknown has showered it on me." Seeing it, gratitude arises.
Ramchandra, you ask me: "I am a God-fearing man, but you say that all fear has to be dropped.
Has the fear of God also to be dropped?"
Yes, absolutely yes. Only then you will know what God is, and only then you will know what love is, and only then you will know what being religious means, what it is all about.”

“I have heard people saying trust in god and love god , he will wipe out all your problems.I do trust in him and I wish I could love him as well but how can I love someone whom I have never seen before?. It might sound so stupid but it's true. Only a few will admit this fact. Almost everyone pray to god so that they can live happily and peacefully but when you get what you wanted , you stop praying or your devotion decreases..No one prays because he/she loves him ,it's only because that person wants to be happy and he do trust in god..I do trust in god as well but do you love him?
Ask your heart , do you love him?”

“There is a reason why 'love thy God' and 'love thy neighbor' are the two greatest commandments. If every person were to truly try and love one another in both words and deeds, there would be no contention, no deceitfulness, no hatred, no fighting, no wars. Perhaps that is why God said 'charity never faileth,' because charity is pure love.”
