What happens when I fall in love with spiritual teachers?

"Falling in love with a master is not about following; it is about being thrown back to your own source, igniting the light within you to become a light unto yourself."
According to Osho, truly falling in love with a master does not make you a follower; it dissolves imitation and throws you back to your own source. The authentic teacher refuses your dependence, smashes your idols—'kill the Buddha'—and ignites your inner lamp: be a light unto yourself. Real love for a sage becomes love for your own being and path.
Loving a true teacher means they won’t let you copy them; they help you discover and trust your own inner light.
