According to Osho, yes—you can grow without a master, but the path will be long, uncertain, and easily derailed. A master is not a superior authority; he’s a guide or map who shortens and softens the journey, helping you arrive in this very life. He shares freely, takes nothing, and delights in your flowering. Ultimately, the choice is yours.
You can go alone, but a wise guide makes the trip quicker, safer, and less confusing.
