According to Osho, the master–disciple relationship is not a democracy of choice: the unconscious disciple cannot choose; the conscious master chooses, guides, or gracefully lets go, based on the disciple’s readiness and urgency. Like a gardener, the master works only where flowering is possible, uses unique devices, and even lets the disciple feel he chose or left while the master bears responsibility.
It’s like a gardener picking seeds that can sprout now—until you’re awake, the teacher decides when to help and may let you think it was your choice.
