Does proximity to the guru refer to physical distance, and does a disciple living far from the guru miss out?

According to Osho, proximity begins as physical—because beginners grasp only the body’s language—but it must evolve into inner trust that dissolves distance and time. With trust, you remain in living contact even when far away or after the master’s death. Hence, you don’t miss out; in fact, a true master may send you away to prevent dependence and deepen non-physical communion.

First be near the teacher, but later your trust makes you feel close from anywhere—even if the teacher is gone.
