According to Osho, in hypnosis (tandra) you sink into a profound, sleep-like stillness where ordinary 'wakefulness' recedes; only the master’s voice bridges you with the world. In this depth you are separated from enlightenment by a thin, breakable veil; right guidance and post-hypnotic suggestions can catalyze real awakening and give you a key to inner silence—yet in false hands the same openness allows dangerous conditioning and exploitation.
You relax so deeply that normal noise fades and you’re almost awake inside; a true guide can help you awaken, but a false one can mislead you.
