According to Osho, when a lifetime of name-chanting yields no change, it’s often because the guide himself has not realized; to preserve his image he postpones your hope, saying ‘it takes many lifetimes.’ This defense keeps seekers stuck in ritual and waiting. Authentic spirituality transforms now; the presence of a realized master and living insight—not mechanical repetition—open the door.
If repeating God’s name for years changes nothing, your teacher may be stalling you with excuses because they haven’t realized.
