What is the difference between a poet and a rishi?

Question

Accepted Answer

According to Osho, a poet is a seed groping in half-awake dreams—earthbound, offering soothing consolation and glimpses of light—while a rishi is a sky-born seer, established in the deathless, whose fiery words awaken, cut illusion, and lead to meditation and realization. The poet bridges sleep and dawn; the rishi stands in noon-sun, pouring compassion to guide seekers.
