According to Osho, real transformation happens only through the living presence of a master, not dead scripture: your inner “lamp” is lit by another flame. Borrowed knowledge falls away, and a breathing wisdom arises that ferries you across ignorance. In receptive nearness (satsang), the seed in you sprouts; awareness, love, and life expand—and, once kindled, your light can kindle many others without ever diminishing.
Being near a living wise person is like lighting your candle from theirs—then you truly understand and feel alive, not just know words.
