What happens when someone speaks highly of enlightened beings?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"In the intoxication of love, the master becomes incomparable, yet true growth lies in transcending this initial ecstasy to embrace a deeper awareness."
According to Osho, when someone extols an enlightened being as the only one, it arises from love’s intoxication—a poetic, subjective truth, not an objective fact or comparison. In devotional ecstasy the master becomes incomparable. This is a valid first stage that creates closeness; later one should grow into clear awareness, where love deepens without drunkenness.
You’re speaking from love-drunk devotion, not measured fact; that’s fine at first, but later you should love with clear awareness.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you honor devotion without mistaking feeling for fact.
- Prevents sectarian arrogance and keeps respect for other paths.
- Guides growth from emotional fixation to lucid, mature love.
