What happens when followers begin to love the teachings?

When you cling to the teachings of a master, you close the door to new revelations and deny the possibility of fresh awakenings in others. True love for the teachings is to remain open to the infinite, allowing the spirit to flow freely beyond the past.

— Osho
According to Osho, when followers fixate on a master’s teachings, they “close the door”: they declare the revelation final, canonize the past, and deny the possibility of new enlightened beings. After Muhammad, Jesus, and Buddha, their traditions sealed the stream, tolerating only a return of the same figure (e.g., Maitreya) rather than fresh awakening in others.

People lock the gate to new wisdom and say only the old book and old hero count.
