According to Osho, the two lines only seem contradictory; properly understood they are complementary. Buddha’s core message is Appa Deepo Bhava—be a light unto yourself—rejecting all spiritual slavery. 'Buddham Sharanam Gachchhami' is not dependence on a person but refuge in awakening itself; at maturity it ripens into your own inner light. Thus, no rigid sequence—freedom is the culmination.
Both sayings point you back to your own awareness; let any guidance help you stand on your own feet, not cling to someone else’s.
