Does a disciple steal something from his master?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"A true disciple steals from the Master not by taking, but by awakening to the treasure that lies within, learned through the trials of their own journey."
According to Osho, yes—the true disciple “steals” everything from the Master, because truth cannot be handed over. The Master only lures, hides, and tests, creating obstacles so you ripen, sharpen awareness, and learn the knack of sensing the treasure yourself. You must work silently, in the dark, until readiness dawns; only then can you seize and keep the treasure, recognizing its value through your own alert, hard-won experience.
The master can’t just give you truth like a toy—you have to grow, search quietly, and take it yourself so you can keep it.
