What happens when I feel unworthy and distant from a teacher?

Your sense of unworthiness is a misunderstanding; the real teacher sees you exactly as you are, turning distance into closeness and shame into simple awareness.

— Osho
According to Osho, your sense of unworthiness is only a misunderstanding; even if you sit in the "fifth row," seemingly distant or imperfect, that is exactly where the master's eyes are focused. Nothing is wrong with you—no need to pretend or perfume yourself; be as you are, even "stinking." The real teacher meets you where you are, turning distance into closeness and shame into simple awareness.

Even if you feel far away or messy, the teacher already sees you and accepts you as you are.
