According to Osho, darshan is not a ritual or mere looking at a person; it is a wordless meeting in presence, ‘seeing’ in which the disciple’s openness allows the master’s silence and being to be felt. It is a communion, a transmission beyond concepts, where the finger points to the moon: don’t stare at the finger, let awareness meet what it indicates—your own witnessing.
Darshan means quietly being with a wise person so you can feel and awaken the same clear, peaceful seeing inside yourself.
