What is the mystery behind revealing the name of the questioner in answers?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Revealing a questioner's name is not about exposure, but about dissolving the hidden ego that seeks recognition; true awareness responds to the soul, not the ambition."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the ‘mystery’ is no mystery: he reveals or withholds a questioner’s name only to expose hidden ego-games. If a seeker secretly craves publicity—even by begging anonymity—he refuses to be provoked and withholds it. He responds from awareness, not manipulation, using naming as a device to dissolve ambition, not to indulge it.
He names or doesn’t name people to help break their secret desire for attention, not to please or punish them.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you notice hidden motives like craving recognition.
- Trains you to stop manipulating and start observing your ego.
- Turns daily interactions into chances to drop ambition and be sincere.
