Ask Osho!

Is psychic exploitation possible in the name of shaktipat, and how can a seeker avoid it?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"True transmission never claims credit; it flows through a receptive vessel, and when you are ready, grace will find you through any medium."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, psychic exploitation in the name of shaktipat is real wherever someone claims “I will give you power/awakening.” Claimants bait seekers and then take—money, respect, obedience—more than they give. Avoid all claim-making gurus. True transmission never claims credit and attributes it to God and your readiness. Make yourself a receptive vessel; when prepared, grace happens through any medium, the medium being secondary.
Don’t trust anyone who says they’ll give you spiritual power; prepare yourself inside, and real help comes quietly without anyone taking credit.
Why this matters practically
- Protects you from manipulation and dependency on charismatic gurus.
- Directs energy to inner preparation instead of chasing promises.
- Sharpens discernment: genuine guides are humble and don’t claim or demand.
