What power or inspiration helps bring a person closer to God?

definition
"Life's sorrow and joy are the wings that carry you closer to God; use them as indicators to turn your heart toward the True."
According to Osho, the very power that brings you near God is life itself—its sorrow and its joy. The wise use both as wings: sorrow exposes the ego’s separation and provokes remembrance; joy signals alignment with ultimate nature (dharma). Read them as indicators, not destinations. When the falseness of worldly longing is seen clearly, the heart turns toward the True, the Divine.
Life’s ups (joy) and downs (sorrow) guide you to God—if you notice them and learn from them.
Why this matters practically
- Treat feelings as a compass: sorrow shows misalignment; joy shows closeness.
- Use pain to soften ego and remember the Divine instead of numbing or blaming.
- Let seeing the false as false redirect choices toward truth, health, and dharma.
