What does surrender mean in the context of a disciple to the master?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Surrender is not an act of submission, but a blossoming of love and trust that frees you from the illusion of the ego, revealing the intrinsic nature that has always been yours."
According to Osho, surrender isn’t an intellectual decision or subjugation; drop the loaded word. Cultivate love and trust, and surrender arises by itself—like a shadow. True surrender gives freedom from the ego, not bondage. You relinquish only what you never truly had—the ego—while the master mirrors and restores what is innately yours but forgotten: your own intrinsic nature.
Don’t overthink surrender—love and trust the master, and your need to control (ego) drops, revealing your real self.
