"To find a true Master, you must let go of your preconceived notions and cultural conditioning, for the real cannot be recognized through the lens of the ordinary."
According to Osho, a disciple cannot truly search for a Master, because any criteria you use—impressions, moral conformity, social approval, public claims—are misleading. True Masters seldom claim authority and rarely fit conventional expectations; each is unique and timeless. Recognizing one requires dropping fixed notions and cultural conditioning, otherwise you’ll mistake temporal “saints” for the real.
You can’t find a real Master by rules, looks, or loud claims—let go of your fixed ideas so you can truly see.
