According to Osho, Jains can acknowledge any awakened being—inside or outside their lineage—if they grasp that Jin-shasan means the living governance of the awakened, not a historical sect. The obstacle isn’t doctrine but clinging to tradition. The awakened is encountered only now; recognizing and accepting a living master demands inner change, whereas worship of the past avoids transformation.
Jin-shasan means following whoever is truly awake today, not just famous saints from the past.
