What is the first glimpse of the Divine and when does it happen?

“

The first glimpse of the Divine occurs when the "I" dissolves; in that egoless union, only God remains, revealing love as an all-pervading taste.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source outcome
Core Insight:
According to Osho, the first glimpse of the Divine happens the moment the “I” dissolves—the death of ego, not the body. As long as the seeker remains, the door stays closed; when you disappear into emptiness, love expands into the whole and the Divine is revealed as a formless, all-pervading taste. No person sees God; in egoless union, only God remains.
You meet God when your sense of being a separate ‘me’ melts away and you feel one with everything—not by seeing a form.
Why this matters practically
- Focus on dissolving ego through surrender, silence, and humility rather than chasing visions or concepts.
- Let love expand beyond self to include all, softening the knot of separateness.
- Drop cleverness and spiritual show; come empty so real presence can fill you.
