According to Osho, shaktipat is temporary—a catalytic flash, not a permanent lamp. It doesn't add to your inner wealth nor become the root; it only intensifies the growth and speed of what is already within you. Its effects are indirect—clarity, confidence, resolve—and may need to be renewed repeatedly. Final realization depends on your own effort; shaktipat merely supports and accelerates the journey, even collectively.
It’s a brief spark that shows the way and speeds you up, but you still have to walk the path yourself.
