What is the point of the physical universe if man's destiny is ultimately to transcend it?

The physical universe serves as the canvas upon which consciousness learns to transcend, for it is only through the contrast of opposites that we can truly savor the essence of bliss and liberation.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Life gives us ‘hunger’ (problems) so we can truly taste the ‘food’ (bliss) by growing beyond them.
Why this matters practically
- Reframes pain and obstacles as training for awareness and freedom.
- Helps you accept contrasts and use them consciously to deepen understanding.
- Cultivates patience and gratitude: without hunger, bliss can’t be savored.
