"You cannot fail me, for I impose no commandments; your only responsibility is to fulfill your own being, not to live up to my ideals."
According to Osho, you have not failed—and cannot fail—him, because he gives no commandments or superhuman ideals to betray. Unlike prophets who impose expectations, he expects nothing; therefore you cannot go against him. Your responsibility is to fulfill your own being, not his idea. His speaking invites self-understanding, not obedience, so no failure compels him to speak again.
No, you haven’t failed Osho—he sets no rules to break; just be yourself and grow in your own way.
