According to Osho, in a master’s presence you are invited to “die”—not physically, but through meditation the ego dissolves, fear loosens, and a taste of inner death is given. Even a single drop opens the portal to the nectar: a first glimpse of the divine. This sacred dying washes away the nonessential, reveals your gold, and prepares you for freedom from rebirth.
Being with a true master softens your ego so you briefly taste inner death and glimpse the divine peace inside.
