Has one only received a hit if it hurts?

A true hit from a master is not meant to hurt but to heal; if it stings, it reveals your resistance to love and transformation. Embrace it with gratitude, for it is a compassionate shock that brings your hidden wounds into the light.

— Osho
According to Osho, a master's 'hit' is a compassionate shock meant to heal, not harm. If it hurts, you've missed; pain reflects ego resistance. Received with gratitude and love, the hit exposes buried wounds to the light of awareness, allowing cleansing and transformation. He strikes only when he loves and finds you worthy, so openness turns impact into healing.

A wise teacher’s tough nudge is medicine; if you feel grateful, not hurt, the healing is working.
