Core Insight:
According to Osho, a meditation method has value on its own, but initiation makes it qualitatively different—more potent, precise, and safe. A master studies your unique makeup, tailors the technique, chooses the right timing (often when the unconscious is open), and transmits it secretly. Without initiation you may try generalized methods, yet they may not fit, while initiation aligns method to you and deepens its transformative power through surrender.
