Can practicing compassion and service lead to realizing God?

According to Osho, service and compassion do not lead to God when practiced as a means; they inflate the ego and turn into self-interest. Only after the 'I' dissolves and the divide between self and other falls—upon knowing the divine—does service become authentic, effortless, and egoless, like breathing. Realization births service; service does not produce realization.

Helping people won’t make you find God if you’re doing it to be someone; first the ego must melt into the divine, then helping happens by itself.
