According to Osho, when a master appears harsh or “hits,” he strikes only the disciple’s ego, not their real being. The shock bypasses the mind’s defenses, exposing the heart and inviting vulnerability and trust. As the ego loses dominance, humility and clear understanding arise; a seed of awareness is planted that, with patience and care, flowers into a profound inner transformation and blessings.
A master’s tough jolt cracks your bossy ego so your true heart can open and grow.
