"Love is spacious; a true master encourages you to embrace the truth in many forms, for sannyas is not about exclusive allegiance but about the love of truth itself."
According to Osho, there’s no contradiction in loving two (or many) masters: love is spacious, and a true master isn’t jealous. His work is to help you fall in love with Buddha, Lao Tzu, Christ, and others. If there’s any conflict, it belongs to the other, possessive master—ask him. Sannyas is love of truth in many forms, not exclusive allegiance.
