Does the effect of shaktipat wear off if contact with the medium is not maintained?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"The borrowed radiance of shaktipat may fade, but the inner awakening it ignites within you is your true treasure, waiting to be cultivated through your own practice."
According to Osho, any effect produced from outside—like shaktipat’s transmitted charge—inevitably declines unless continually refreshed. What endures is the energy that awakens from within you, including the inner uprising catalyzed by shaktipat; that becomes your “basic capital.” So the borrowed radiance fades, but the self-arisen awareness it triggers remains and can be cultivated through your own practice.
The outside boost wears off, but the spark it lights inside you stays—so keep tending your own flame.
Why this matters practically
- Encourages self-reliance: nurture your own awareness rather than depending on a guru’s presence.
- Guides practice: meditate and live consciously to grow the inner energy awakened by transmission.
- Eases attachment: accept that spiritual “highs” fade; stay steady with inner work.
