What defines a disciple in relation to a master?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"A disciple is not one who merely agrees with the master's words, but who resonates with his being, embracing the silent truth that transcends all philosophy."
According to Osho, a disciple is one who agrees not with the master’s words but with his being—the unsaid, living presence behind all sayings. The disciple is free to argue with every statement, yet remains in unconditional accord with the master’s essence. Discipleship is communion beyond philosophy: trust, attunement, and participation in the master’s silent truth.
