According to Osho, initiation is not a single act of mere communion but a threefold journey: the student becomes a disciple (moving from curiosity to quest), the disciple becomes a devotee (from mind to heart), and finally the devotee dissolves in the master—true communion. Thus, initiation deepens step by step, culminating in egoless union rather than intellectual learning or borrowed knowledge.
It’s a gradual path: first you seek, then you love and trust, and finally you let go of ego and become one with the master.
