Can truth or the Divine be attained only by God's grace?

The Divine is not attained through effort or selective grace; it is like sunlight, always available—simply relax and be open to the truth that is already present.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, neither personal effort nor a selective “grace” attains the Divine. Effort arises from ego and becomes the very wall that blocks us; “grace” implies withholding, which God never does. Like sunlight, the Divine is always available. The third way is effortless openness: relax, stop trying to open the already open door, and be receptive—then truth reveals itself.
Don’t strain or wait for God to choose you; just relax and open your heart like a window to sunshine that’s already there.
