Does divinity exist within the world and must it be transcended?

definition
"When craving drops, the divine happens—and the whole world is revealed as divine."
According to Osho, the issue isn’t whether the divine is ‘in’ the world: the divine cannot be an object of desire at all. Whatever can be desired is the world. When craving drops, the divine happens—and the whole world is revealed as divine. Tantra transcends craving itself, not the world or God; stop desiring, and divinity is everywhere, effortlessly.
Don’t try to get God like a toy; when you stop wanting, you suddenly see everything is already full of God.
