What is Shaktipat?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Shaktipat is the divine energy flowing into a prepared seeker, awakening the vastness within, but it requires an open heart to fully embrace its transformative power."
According to Osho, Shaktipat is the descent of the infinite divine energy—ever-present around us—into a prepared seeker, often transmitted through a living medium (a master) who regulates its 'voltage' to prevent shock. When fully allowed, the descending energy meets the inner readiness, erupting as spontaneous expressions (crying, dancing, shouting), awakening and connecting one with the vast. Minor inhibitions can block it.
It’s like safely plugging into God’s electricity through a master so the power can flow into you and wake you up—if you don’t resist.
