Why do we need a master?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"A master is not a crutch, but a flame that ignites your inner light, guiding you to listen deeply and walk independently in the dance of existence."
According to Osho, we need a master because we’re not yet sensitive or intelligent enough to let existence teach us directly; we don’t know how to listen or stay open. A true master is only a beginning—he warms you with love, trains your listening, and serves as a jumping‑board—then leaves when you can walk alone and let life itself be your master.
We need a guide until we can truly hear life ourselves; then the guide steps back.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts you from egoic resistance to genuine learning.
- Trains openness and listening so daily life becomes your teacher.
- Encourages independence: the goal is inner mastery, not lifelong dependency.
