According to Osho, transformation is an individualized "spiritual surgery": the master works like a potter, sometimes with tender molding, sometimes with a shock, according to your readiness. Ultimately, the subtle cord binding consciousness to the body is cut—"second birth"—shifting you from personality to true individuality, from fear of the unknown to freedom, from mortality’s confines toward a sense of the deathless.
A wise guide helps you in the way you need—softly or strongly—until you’re ready to break the invisible tie to your old self and feel free and truly yourself.
