"The master recognizes the disciple's enlightenment first, for true awareness does not seek public confirmation but trusts in the intimate bond of understanding."
According to Osho, in the intimate master–disciple field, the master recognizes the disciple’s enlightenment first; others may sense it later, if at all. Speaking to Milarepa, he says he himself will be the first to know—an exceptional case—implying trust in the master's awareness rather than seeking public confirmation.
Your teacher would notice you woke up before anyone else does.
