Why is it difficult to apply the principle of divine endowment to others?

To see others as the end rather than a means is to transcend the ego; in that sacred reversal lies the essence of love, prayer, and nonviolence.

— Osho
According to Osho, it’s hard to apply divine endowment to others because our ego instinctively places ‘I’ at the center, treating everyone as means. Divine endowment inverts this: the other is the end—serve, don’t exploit; even erase oneself if needed. Such reversal appears briefly as love and, when universalized, becomes prayer and nonviolence.

We usually think “me first,” but divine endowment asks “others first,” like real love for everyone.
