Ask Osho!

What is the significance of the towel that Maitreya took into his possession?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Every object we cherish carries the essence of our love and respect, transforming the mundane into a sacred companion on our journey."

According to Osho, the towel Maitreya took isn’t a mere object but a longtime, “temperamental” companion he has loved, respected, even ‘worshipped’ for twenty‑five years. He playfully calls it a “lady towel” that needs courtship, so Maitreya must woo it; he even pairs it with a “boy towel,” highlighting affectionate sensitivity toward everyday things.
It’s a special, sensitive towel Osho treated like a friend, so Maitreya must handle it with love and care.
