Is it necessary to pass through the state of separation for union with the Divine?

Synthesized from Source definition

Core Insight:

According to Osho, separation isn't a stage to cross later—you’re already in it as the ego’s delusion. Union with the Divine is not achieved by “joining” but by the vanishing of the separate self; what is, is already in God. Through right understanding, remembrance, and awareness, the illusion dissolves and the ever-present oneness is revealed.

You’re not really apart from God; let go of the idea of a separate ‘me’ and the always-present oneness shows itself.

Why this matters practically

- Shifts effort from chasing external fixes to seeing and undoing the ego’s claim of separateness.
- Encourages practices of awareness and remembrance that turn suffering into a doorway to union.
- Reduces conflict by loosening identification with status, roles, and beliefs.
