According to Osho, 'personality' is only an abstract idea—the shadow—while the 'person' is the living, concrete presence. Worshiping personality is the ego’s trick to escape surrender; you can never meet an abstraction. Authentic devotion engages a real person (Buddha, guru) as a doorway: by bowing to the living presence, you transcend idolatry and return to your own source.
Don’t chase ideas about holiness; meet and bow to a real, living teacher, and in that surrender you discover yourself.
