Ask Osho!

What are the philosophies of Ashtavakra, Bodhidharma, and Krishnamurti in relation to meditation and devotion?

Synthesized from Source definition

"You are already the divine; stop seeking, and realization will dawn in an instant. True understanding transcends methods, for the no-path reveals the summit of your being."

According to Osho, Ashtavakra, Bodhidharma, and Krishnamurti teach the no-path: since you are already the divine, stop seeking and realization happens instantly. Devotion (love) and meditation are genuine paths that dissolve the ego, but they are still methods. The no-path demands pure understanding—hardest for most—because these masters speak from the summit, while seekers often require gradual means.
They say you’re already home, so stop searching—yet most of us still need love or meditation to melt the ‘me’ until this becomes obvious.
Why this matters practically
- Choose what fits now: if radical letting-go resonates, rest in choiceless awareness; otherwise use devotion or meditation to soften the ego.
- Stop compulsive seeking; chasing experiences can create more distance from yourself.
- Meet teachings from where you are; use methods as bridges, then drop them.
