Is it true that whatever the master says or does is simply a device to transform the disciple?

The master's words and actions are not doctrines to be believed, but compassionate devices to awaken the disciple to their own inner truth.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
A master uses words or silence like helpful tricks, not final truths, to help you wake up inside.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts you from collecting beliefs to seeking direct experience.
- Encourages meditation and experimentation instead of argument.
- Opens you to learn from paradox and silence, not just explanations.
