Why do enlightened masters seek guidance from a higher master?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Even enlightened masters seek guidance from a higher source, for the body-bound perspective can limit their vision of the infinite truth. In surrendering to a superior consciousness, they navigate the remaining journey without creating new karma."
According to Osho, enlightened masters turn to the higher Master because, while their consciousness is already one with truth, the body-bound vantage narrows their field of perception. Until karmic accounts are settled and the bodiless height is reached, a superior perspective (God, the Master of Masters) guides remaining actions without creating new karma and ensures total, unhindered seeing.
Even if you’re fully awake, from the ground you can’t see as far as someone in a plane—so you ask the highest flyer for directions until you can fly too.
