Ask Osho!

Are there occasions when it is necessary for disciples to protect their master from himself?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Every day is an occasion for disciples to protect their master with love, for it is their devotion that sustains him in his suffering, allowing them to blossom in his presence."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, every day is such an occasion: once enlightened, the master has nothing left to attain and can drop the body at any moment; only disciples’ love keeps him lingering in a suffering, aging shell so they may ripen. Protecting him means sustaining him with love, care, and presence, honoring his sacrifice until the disciples flower.
The master could leave life anytime; your love helps him stay so you can grow.
Why this matters practically
- Reminds disciples to offer constant love, care, and practical support.
- Keeps the master’s presence available for guidance while students mature.
- Cultivates gratitude and responsibility, deepening the disciple’s commitment.
