According to Osho, neither idea—the Divine descending into a body nor man flowering into the Divine—is closer to truth; both are concepts, useful only as pointers. Truth cannot be contained in words; it is realized in silence. Use any story as a device to step out of illusion, then drop it; stop comparing fingers, see the moon.
Neither story is the truth; they just help you look up—like fingers pointing to the moon—so use one to find the moon, then forget the finger.
