Does time and space affect the relationship between master and disciple?

"The bond between master and disciple transcends time and space; it is only the disciple's impurities that create the illusion of distance. In true love, the master is carried within, making proximity irrelevant."
According to Osho, time and space never touch the essential bond between master and disciple; only the disciple’s impurities—expectations, even the desire for enlightenment—create the illusion of distance. As love matures into desirelessness, the master is carried within; presence deepens beyond nearness, separation, and even death. If the master remains an external object or means, proximity seems crucial; in oneness, it is irrelevant.
If you stop wanting anything from the master and just love, you feel him inside you everywhere and always; wanting things makes distance and time seem to matter.
Why this matters practically
- Drop expectations (even “enlightenment”) to purify love.
- Meditate to sense the master within rather than chase proximity.
- Stay steady in absence, travel, or loss—the connection does not break.
