Can samadhi be obtained through another person if kundalini unfolds toward the sahasrar only by shaktipat?

outcome
"Samadhi cannot be given by another; it is the blossoming of your own inner readiness, catalyzed by the touch of a master."
According to Osho, samadhi cannot be conferred by another; shaktipat is only a catalytic push that works when the seeker is ripe. The master’s power and the disciple’s readiness meet to shorten the time to sahasrar; without ripeness nothing happens, and with ripeness it would happen anyway—now or later. Ultimately, awakening flowers from within; time’s span is incidental.
A guru can't give you enlightenment; if you're ready, their touch just helps it happen sooner.
Why this matters practically
- Focus on inner preparation and practice; don’t depend on external transmissions.
- Seek guidance as a catalyst, not a crutch; choose teachers who awaken your own effort.
- Be patient; trust timing and avoid anxiety about instant results.
