Core Insight:
According to Osho, there are two initiations: the “right” initiation that happens from the divine in the presence of a guru-witness after meditation and ripeness, marking divine acceptance and inner transformation; and the “false” initiation, a mere guru–disciple transaction (names, robes, rituals) without the third—divine—factor, which breeds illusion and blocks real awakening. The true guru simply witnesses and can confirm the event.
