According to Osho, shaktipat is a deliberate, technical transmission—requiring a prepared seeker and a suitable medium, timed and managed like switching on household electricity. Grace is spontaneous, rare, unmanaged, and arrives directly without any mediator—like lightning. Though their essence is the same energy, their modes differ: shaktipat is methodical and conditional; grace is sudden, uninvited, beyond control.
Shaktipat is a planned energy transfer through someone; grace is the same energy striking by itself, without planning or a middleman.
