"To catch the light from a candle, come utterly close to the living flame, allowing your separate ego to melt away; in that union, your unlit candle ignites, revealing the oneness of your true individuality."
According to Osho, you catch the candle’s light by coming utterly close to the living flame—the master—without holding back, so near that your separate ego melts. Take a total jump; stop keeping an escape route. Then your unlit candle ignites: the flames stay two, but the light is one—your false self drops, your true individuality shines.
Come very close with total trust, drop your ego, and your inner candle lights from the master’s flame.
