Ask Osho!

What should the disciple do when the master is standing at the door?

Synthesized from Source practice

"When the master stands at your door, it is not a time for choices; surrender and allow him in, for he comes to free your true self from the unnecessary."

According to Osho, when the master stands at your door it’s already too late for mind-made choices; simply allow him in. The master is ‘death’ to the ego and the false personality, yet this dying births your real individuality. Trust and surrender. He won’t take your authentic nature, he only removes what is unnecessary—like a sculptor freeing the statue within.
Open the door and let the teacher in; the pretend you will break, and the real you will shine.
Why this matters practically
- Reframes fear: ego-loss is rebirth, not annihilation.
- Encourages trustful surrender, reducing inner conflict and hesitation.
- Clarifies the master’s role: removing falseness so your true nature can emerge.
