Is the master-disciple relationship accidental or a conscious choice?

definition
"When the disciple is ready, the master appears; the master waits knowingly, while the disciple's journey ripens awareness until recognition unfolds."
According to Osho, the master–disciple bond is both accidental and chosen: accidental for the disciple, who is still unconscious, and a fully conscious choice for the master. 'When the disciple is ready, the master appears.' The master waits knowingly; the disciple’s long wanderings ripen awareness until recognition happens, fulfilling a promise beyond time.
It’s both: the wise teacher chooses you on purpose, but you meet them by ‘accident’ when you’ve finally grown enough to see.
Why this matters practically
- Cultivate awareness and sincerity; readiness draws the right guide.
- Trust timing over haste; patience prevents false choices.
- Notice resonance and presence rather than labels or fame.
