According to Osho, a Master is indispensable: alone you will hesitate before the abyss of the unknown. The Master 'hammers' you - shocking, challenging and pushing you beyond fear and habit - so the transforming leap happens. Without that catalytic presence, the mind clings to safety and postpones. The Master's compassion appears as provocation, ensuring you actually jump.
Like a coach who gives a hard push when you’re scared, a Master jolts you so you make the leap you wouldn’t make alone.
