According to Osho, 'stolen matches'—borrowed doctrines and secondhand revelations—do not truly burn. Only when you see the light yourself can you know what was actually lit, or whether you were merely made to imagine illumination. In that seeing, most gurus are exposed as agents of darkness; authentic light must arise from your own direct experience.
You can’t light your life with someone else’s fake spark—you must see the real light yourself.
