Is it possible to deceive a master?

A master cannot be deceived, for he sees beyond your words and masks, recognizing the hidden desires of your being; if he appears to allow your deception, it is only to facilitate your growth.

— Osho
According to Osho, you can ‘deceive’ a master only if he chooses to be deceived as a device for your growth; otherwise, it’s impossible. A master knows your secret desires and ego’s subtleties, reads your eyes, posture, and being, not your shifting words. He sees beneath masks—deeper than dreams or analysis—and may allow your cheating impulse to surface so it can be exposed and transformed.

You can’t trick a true master unless he lets you, because he sees through your masks to help you grow.
