What is a disciple?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"A disciple is one who, faced with the emptiness of existence, chooses transformation over despair, seeking to infuse his life with beauty, individuality, and purpose."
According to Osho, a disciple is one who, seeing the utter emptiness and meaninglessness of his present life, reaches a crisis—suicide or radical transformation—and chooses transformation. He longs “to be,” to bring significance, fragrance, beauty, individuality, and decisiveness to his life, taking responsibility to change himself totally rather than continue in futile patterns.
A disciple is someone who feels life is empty and, instead of giving up, decides to change themselves completely to find real meaning.
