"When you encounter an enlightened being, drop your comparisons and beliefs; only then can you truly meet the living truth and experience transformation."
According to Osho, when you encounter an enlightened being, your conditioned mind immediately measures him against imagined replicas of past masters, feels shocked by differences, and thus misses the living truth. The divine never repeats; every awakened one is uniquely expressed. A real meeting happens only when you drop comparisons and beliefs and receive the person as they are—then understanding and transformation can happen.
Don’t expect a wise person to match your ideas—let go of comparisons and meet them freshly, or you’ll miss their truth.
