What is the nature of recognizing a living master?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Recognizing a living master is not about inherited beliefs but a fresh, unconditioned seeing that collapses time, making the ancient and the present equally alive in your journey."
According to Osho, recognizing a living master is a fresh, unconditioned seeing—not borrowed belief or repetition. When recognition happens, time collapses: Buddha or Jesus becomes contemporary; you stand as fellow travelers. Conditioning and loyalty to inherited images block this meeting. Only an impartial, bias-free inquiry lets you know, making the so-called old and the present master equally alive, true, and available now.
