definition
"Be a light unto yourself; true masters only show you how to kindle your own flame, never to become your crutch."
According to Osho, some support is useful but only as a spark: the true master shows you how to light your own lamp, never to become your crutch. Borrowed light breeds blindness and dependence; paths inevitably part. Learn the craft, kindle your inner flame, and then walk alone—'Be a light unto yourself.'
Why this matters practically
- Prevents dependence on gurus and strengthens inner autonomy.
- Prepares you for change when external guides are absent.
