How to discern between my will and God's will?

"Freedom arises only with consciousness; in the light of awareness, there are not two wills—only the divine flow."
According to Osho, you cannot truly distinguish your will from God's while you are unconscious: your choices are mechanical, like steel filings drawn to a magnet. Freedom arises only with consciousness. As awareness deepens, the egoic chooser disappears; then there are not two wills - only the divine flow. So discern by awakening: notice reactivity, grow awareness, and let presence act.
When you’re on autopilot there’s no “my will”; wake up inside, and the small “me” fades so only the bigger will moves you.
