Why does the world seem so opposed to the Divine?

“

The world is not opposed to the Divine; it is the Divine's own dance, and the only thing that keeps us from seeing this truth is our sleep-like unawareness. Awaken, and you will find sacredness in all that exists.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the world seems opposed to the Divine because we've been hypnotized by centuries of conditioning to see a false split. In truth, the world is the Divine’s own dance; nothing exists outside it. The divide persists only through our sleep-like unawareness. Awaken, drop borrowed habits, and you discover sacredness in all.
We think the world fights God because we were taught so, but when we wake up we see the whole world is God’s play.
Why this matters practically
- Treat everyday life as sacred instead of escaping or condemning it.
- Shift from arguing about God to cultivating awareness and presence.
- Question inherited beliefs and look directly at experience.
