"Craving an omnipotent guide reveals a lack of individuality; true discipleship is not dependence, but a loving surrender that uncovers your innate aloneness and fosters true independence."
According to Osho, craving an omnipotent guide and fearing dependence are the same weakness: a lack of individuality. True discipleship isn’t infantilizing reliance; it is loving surrender that dissolves the nonessential and reveals your innate aloneness. With a Master, sannyasins don’t become dependent—they become more independent, entering the grace of eros, freedom, and responsibility.
Trusting a real master in love doesn’t make you clingy; it helps you stand on your own and be more yourself.
