What happens to our ego when we are in the presence of a master?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"In the presence of a master, your ego dissolves, allowing you to ride a tidal wave of truth; remain watchful, and those silent gaps will deepen within you."
According to Osho, in a master’s presence the ego—your old mind—momentarily dissolves: anxieties fall away, time and thought stop, and you ‘ride a tidal wave’ of truth. This glimpse is real even if brief. When you leave, the old mind returns; stay watchful, non-identified, and the silent gaps will reappear and deepen on their own.
Being with a true master makes your noisy “me” go quiet for a while; when you leave, calmly watch it so the quiet comes back more often.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you trust brief peace as real, not an illusion.
- Trains you to watch the returning mind without identifying, reducing stress and reactivity.
- Gives a simple practice: remember the taste, stay alert, and let the silence grow.
