What is the first lesson that God gives?

definition
"God's first lesson is to let go; only in the emptiness of an open hand can the divine be grasped."
According to Osho, God’s first lesson is let-go: the unknown cannot be grasped with memory, logic, or definitions. Like the wind, the divine is present when the hand is open and is lost when we clench. Drop the urge to possess or define; become empty, receptive, and experiential—then the vast, boundaryless presence discloses itself.
Stop trying to grab God with your mind—relax, open up, and feel what’s already here.
