definition
"Cultivate sensitivity to the subtlest signals of existence, for true awakening comes not from force, but from the whisper of the divine."
According to Osho, there are three kinds of disciples, like horses before a whip: the best needs only the shadow—the subtlest hint—to awaken; the middling responds to the sound or whoosh of the whip; the dullest moves only when the lash actually strikes. Cultivate sensitivity: notice the slightest signal, drop whatever dulls you, and move to the finest category.
Be so awake that a tiny hint guides you; don’t wait for loud warnings or painful shocks.
