Does the Master ever play hide-and-seek with the disciples?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The relationship between Master and disciple is a divine play, where the veiling of the Master's presence ignites a blissful longing and transforms the search into a joyous game of existence."
According to Osho, the Master does not merely ‘sometimes’ play hide-and-seek; the very relationship between Master and disciple is this playful lila, mirroring the Divine’s game with existence. The Master’s nearness remains veiled to ignite loving search, ripen trust, and acquaint the seeker with the whole. Seeing it as play dissolves anxiety; longing becomes blissful, and small-scale practice prepares one for the cosmic game.
Like playing peekaboo, the Master hides nearby so you joyfully learn to look, love, and grow—and that fun practice readies you to meet the Divine everywhere.
