Ask Osho!

If the divine is in everybody, why do we need a teacher?

Synthesized from Source definition

"A teacher is not here to give you something new, but to awaken you to the divine that already resides within you. When you truly awaken, the need for a master dissolves into gratitude and friendship."

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.
