What is the meaning of being a disciple?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Being a disciple is not about self-sacrifice, but about deepening your presence and understanding in love and trust towards the master."
According to Osho, being a disciple means steadily coming closer to the master—in openness, trust, and love—so your connection may even ripen into devotion. Yet it is not about literal self‑sacrifice or “dying with” the master; the journey is an inner deepening of presence and understanding, not martyrdom or imitation.
It’s about growing closer to a wise guide with love and trust, not hurting yourself or blindly copying them.
