Was the meeting between Lord Buddha and the Panchagra-dayaka Brahmin a river-boat meeting or a river-ocean meeting?

According to Osho, the Buddha–Panchagadayaka Brahmin meeting was a river-ocean union, not a fleeting river-boat encounter. Worldly relationships form and dissolve; the guru–disciple bond is an undying oneness that transcends time. Like Ganga merging into the ocean, the disciple dissolves into the master—and, subtly, it is the ocean that first becomes cloud and reaches the river: the master’s grace seeks and awakens the disciple.
