What does the master/disciple relationship involve?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The master/disciple relationship is a mystical love affair where trust and surrender dissolve the ego, allowing the disciple to merge with the presence of the master and awaken to supreme ecstasy."
According to Osho, the master/disciple relationship is an Eastern, mystical love affair based on trust, love, and surrender—not doubt or logic. It cannot be taught but caught: the master helps the disciple unlearn, drop the ego, and become childlike. The master is a presence; through silent communion and receptivity, the disciple merges with that presence and tastes the supreme ecstasy of awakening.
It's like sitting quietly with someone very loving and wise until their peace rubs off on you, you stop pretending to know, and your big 'me' melts away.
