What is the meaning of revelation in spiritual teachings?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Revelation is not an external miracle; it is the unveiling of your original face, where the borrowed identities fall away and your true self is disclosed. Only when you recognize the light within can you truly see the light outside."
According to Osho, revelation is not an outer miracle or information from above; it is the unveiling of your 'original face'—the naked, unmodified being before society’s masks. When the borrowed identities drop, the inner Christ/Buddha is disclosed. Only the like recognizes the like: light knows light. Thus true revelation begins within, and only then can the outer be rightly seen.
Revelation means taking off all your pretend masks so your real, shining self can be seen.
