Why should someone be a master and another a disciple?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Discipleship is not about reasons; it is an irrational love affair with existence's mystery, a trust that transcends the mind's need for justification."
According to Osho, there is no rational 'why' for being a disciple or a master; it is an irrational, absurd love-affair with existence’s mystery. Seeking reasons only appeases the mind and kills the beautiful. Discipleship happens when an inexplicable longing arises; you respond by trusting, not by justifying. It’s participation in the unfathomable, beyond logic or utility.
You become a disciple not for a reason, but because your heart mysteriously falls in love with the unknown—so stop asking why and simply trust.

- Helps you drop compulsive rationalizing and feel life directly.
- Encourages trust and surrender, opening space for transformation.
- Keeps the sacred from being reduced to mere utility.
