Why are people drawn to certain spiritual teachers?

"When the personal "I" of the teacher vanishes, the divine presence radiates, creating a magnetism that draws seekers not by charisma, but by the pure flow of love."
According to Osho, people are drawn to certain spiritual teachers because the teacher’s personal "I" has vanished; in that inner absence, the divine presence radiates like light, creating a natural magnetism. It isn’t personal charisma but God’s "me" flowing through an empty, hollow bamboo. Such magnetism transcends religions, and seekers come freely, moved by their own love and resonance.
We’re pulled to real masters because the person steps aside, God’s light shines through, and our hearts recognize it.
Why this matters practically
- Look beyond personality and charisma; sense the silence and freedom a teacher radiates.
- Practice ego-lessness yourself; becoming a "hollow bamboo" lets wisdom move through you.
- Avoid sectarianism; the same presence can speak through any awakened being.
