According to Osho, great masters are seldom, if ever, recognized by lesser leaders; it is existentially impossible for the lower to perceive the higher. The higher can see the lower, but the blind cannot know sight, nor the well-frog fathom the ocean. Only when one’s consciousness rises—through silence, meditation, and bliss—does true recognition and discipleship become possible.
If you haven’t grown inside, you can’t recognize a true master—like a well-frog can’t imagine the ocean.
