According to Osho, imitation denies your unique being; following Christ or Buddha makes you a follower, not awakened. Love and understand great beings, but don't copy them. Be a light unto yourself. Transformation arises through inner awareness and heart-to-heart communion—an acausal synchronicity—not by adopting commandments, techniques, or borrowed identities.
You can’t become your true self by copying anyone; look inside and let your own light wake up.
