What is the meaning, preparation, and process of mantra initiation?

Mantra initiation is not about the words; it is a sacred transmission of the master's energy, requiring you to dissolve your ego and become utterly receptive, like a valley waiting for the rain.

— Osho
According to Osho, mantra initiation (deeksha) is not about words but a living transmission: a downward flow of the master’s realized energy into a receptive disciple. Preparation means dissolving ego through total surrender, humility, and trustbecoming valley-like, womb-like, defenseless. The process is silent and actual: the master enters, cleanses, and transforms your body-mind; he guides the unknown, while you remain open, vulnerable, and available.

Let go of your ego and defenses so a trusted master’s energy can flow into you and quietly change you.
