According to Osho, shaktipat strikes the first body and instantly arouses kundalini; in an undeveloped meditator whose first three bodies lack alignment and a continuous ‘circuit,’ the surge jams at the first plane, producing dangerous shocks and harm. With minimal prior preparation the energy flows safely through the first three bodies, rises intensely up to the fourth, and offers a powerful glimpse—after which further growth must be individual.
It’s like plugging a huge battery into thin wires—without prep it burns you; with better wiring, the power flows safely and shows you the way.
