What is respect to a master?

True respect for a master is not in flattery, but in the reverent awareness that honors all of existence, treating even a banana peel with care.

— Osho
According to Osho, true respect for a master is not flattery or ritual but a reverent awareness that extends to all of existence. A master needs no respect—he forgives; your task is to be so mindful that even a banana peel is treated with care. Respect is sensitivity, receptivity, and total presence in ordinary acts.

Show respect for the master by being gentle and mindful with everything—even a banana peel.
