What happens when one feels deep devotion to a master?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"When devotion hides desire, it becomes a barrier; let go of desire, and devotion transforms into a desireless presence, revealing your intrinsic buddha-nature in the here and now."
According to Osho, deep devotion becomes a barrier the moment it hides desire—whether for the master or for enlightenment. Changing the object never changes desiring; every desire breeds misery and postpones realization. See this clearly and let desire drop. Then devotion ripens into desireless presence: here and now is ecstasy, and your intrinsic buddha-nature is revealed.
Love the master, but if you’re wanting something through that love, stop the wanting—peace is already here.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents devotion from turning into new frustration and suffering.
- Brings immediate peace and kinder relationships by dropping craving.
- Lets you experience fulfillment now instead of chasing future attainment.
