What does the Sufi saying 'Trust in Allah, but tether your camel first' mean?

According to Osho, the proverb is self-contradictory and irreligious: by saying "tether your camel first," it makes the camel primary and reduces Allah to a mere social belief. True trust admits no second place; if trust is total, existence itself cares. He replaces belief in a God with trust in intelligence, love, and the intrinsic wisdom of life.

It shows people say they trust God but really rely on tying the camel; Osho says either trust totally, or trust life’s own wisdom instead of a belief.
