What are the potential harms and benefits of psychic binding in shaktipat?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"True shaktipat never binds; it is our insecurity that clings, while grace liberates us to embrace the holy insecurity where courage and awakening can truly flower."
According to Osho, psychic binding in shaktipat is wholly harmful: it forges the deepest chains—of love, reverence, gratitude—that are hardest (and feel “impious”) to break, breeding fear-based dependence, weakness, and spiritual stagnation. A true shaktipat vehicle never binds; only our insecurity clings. Grace liberates; gratitude, once expressed, completes and unbinds. Use any support only to become supportless—embracing holy insecurity so courage and awakening can flower.
Clinging to a guru after shaktipat may feel safe, but real blessing helps you let go and stand on your own.
