What is divine will and how does it act through the surrendered individual?

“

Surrender is not a means to an end; it is the very essence of divine will, where the individual dissolves and only the whole remains.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, divine will is not a separate force using a surrendered person as its instrument; surrender itself is divine will. When the ego (the unsurrendered will) dissolves, the separate individual disappears. In that emptiness, only the indivisible (God) remains and acts. Thus, it’s not “God through me,” but nonduality: no doer, only the whole.
When you drop your ego, there’s no separate ‘you’ doing things—just life (God) moving on its own.
Why this matters practically
- Eases anxiety by releasing the need to control and defend a separate self.
- Fosters spontaneous, compassionate action without self-importance.
- Reframes humility: not “used by God,” but absence of the doer altogether.
