Ask Osho!

What does it mean to truly come to a master?

Synthesized from Source definition

"To truly come to a master, arrive in a state of wholehearted not-knowing, shedding all demands and expectations, so that you may be shaped by the master's presence according to your own nature."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, to truly come to a master is to arrive in wholehearted not-knowing, dropping reasons, targets, and borrowed 'clarity.' Come fluid, childlike, egoless, without demanding any particular vision or result. In this auspicious chaos, projection ceases, listening becomes possible, and the master's presence can shape you according to your own nature.
Show up like a curious child with no fixed ideas, and let the master guide you.
Why this matters practically
- Listen without preloading answers; say 'I don't know' sincerely.
- Drop fixed goals in meditation or guidance sessions.
- Stay flexible so genuine understanding and change can emerge.
