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.
