According to Osho, genuine longing for a master arises after a taste of the divine; it brings repose, joy, and an awakening “intoxication” that sharpens awareness. The master’s glance mirrors your own original face, rekindling trust and reverence for yourself, turning you inward. Its true effect is freedom, not dependency: you learn to be blissful anywhere, discovering the same divine ocean within which the master is only a drop.
Longing for a master wakes up your own inner treasure, bringing calm joy and freedom so you’re happy by yourself, not hooked on the teacher.
