Core Insight:
According to Osho, being close to the master means dropping all defenses and personal will, allowing the master—and truth—to undo the false self. The disciple surrenders utterly: “Disarm me; let your will be done.” Such surrender is initiation given by grace, not taken by ego. Closeness is spiritual, not physical; the heart opens when resolve, pride, and self-assertion collapse, making space for rebirth into peace and bliss.
