Is the experience of the Divine different for each person?

"When the mind drops its colored glasses, distinctions dissolve, and what remains is not an experience but pure experiencing—the essence of the Divine is one, yet its expression is uniquely yours."
According to Osho, the Divine is one, so the essence of realization is the same for all; only its expression varies. When the mind—our colored glasses—drops, distinctions dissolve and one becomes empty; then the Fullness descends. Thus it’s not truly an "experience" with an experiencer, but anubhuti: pure experiencing beyond mind.
It’s like taking off colored glasses: everyone sees the same light—and when it’s truly seen, even the “you” who sees disappears.
Why this matters practically
- Stop comparing spiritual experiences; focus on emptying mind and ego.
- Honor diverse expressions (music, color, poetry) while recognizing one reality.
- Practice dropping viewpoints, words, and beliefs to taste direct experiencing.
