"A true master never sends anyone away in anger; even a 'no' is a compassionate blessing for the discerning disciple."
According to Osho, a true master never sends anyone away in anger; if anger appears, it’s a conscious device. He welcomes the ripe and refuses the unthirsty, like not throwing seed on rock. Whether sent away or kept close, it is compassion at work. A real disciple drops interpretations, trusts utterly, and perceives even the master’s ‘no’ as a timely blessing, not displeasure.
If a master seems harsh or sends you away, it’s loving wisdom—either you’re not ready yet, or the toughness is meant to help you grow.
