Core Insight:
According to Osho, shaktipat is an ancient device of energy transmission in which an authentic master, by touching the disciple’s third eye, catalyzes the flow of cosmic energy into a totally surrendered, vulnerable receiver. Nothing material is exchanged; consciousness-energy moves through availability. The master loses nothing; giving invites more from existence. Without complete openness, or with energetic blocks (e.g., the red tika), nothing happens; hence his shift to subtler, friendlier methods.
