Is there a possibility of gradual progress and development in the process of Shaktipat?

outcome
"Keep moving toward direct grace, for while shaktipat may offer gradual progress, true transformation comes from the purity of the unmediated experience."
According to Osho, yes—there is every likelihood of gradual progress in shaktipat. Its quality varies with the medium: fifth-body conduits carry more impurity than sixth, and seventh is purer—yet none equals direct, mediumless grace. Experiences will differ quantitatively and qualitatively; keep moving, avoid begging or dependence on givers, and orient your longing toward direct grace.
You can grow step by step through cleaner ‘lenses,’ but the best is seeing without any lens—so accept help if it appears, yet aim for direct grace.
Why this matters practically
- Sets realistic expectations about varied, evolving experiences
- Encourages less dependence on gurus; more receptivity to direct grace
- Keeps you moving, not stuck on phenomena or status
