Where are we on the bridge between the animal and the divine?

“

You are not on a bridge; you are the bridge itself between the animal and the divine. In the stillness of non-cooperation with the ego, the divine reveals itself.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, you’re not somewhere on a bridge—you are the bridge itself between ego (animal) and egolessness (divine). The more crystallized the ego, the more animal; when the ‘I’ vanishes, the divine remains. Don’t strive for freedom as an ego project; simply become alert and stop cooperating with ego. In that watchful non-cooperation, the bridge is transcended.
You are the bridge made of the feeling of ‘I’; just watch it without feeding it, and it fades to reveal the quiet divine.
Why this matters practically
- Gives a clear practice: be alert and stop fueling the ego.
- Reduces suffering and reactivity, opening peace and compassion.
- Shifts spirituality from striving to effortless letting go.
