According to Osho, the divine is in everyone, but most are asleep to it; the master is simply one who is awake. You need a teacher until the truth becomes your own living experience, not a borrowed belief. The master removes illusions and provokes transformation, giving you what you already are. When you awaken, need ends—only gratitude and friendship remain.
A teacher is like an alarm clock: you already have light inside, but you’re asleep; they wake you up, and once awake, you don’t need the alarm—just gratitude.
