Ask Osho!

What is the relationship between a seeker and the master if one has not taken sannyas or desires the divine?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"The relationship with the master begins in the heart, where love and attraction draw you back, and even in resistance, the seed of seeking is already sprouting."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, your relationship with the master begins the moment love and attraction draw you back again and again; sannyas and the longing for the divine start unconsciously, then surface consciously. Even if you resist, the seed is sprouting; the master’s presence ‘dyes’ you in his color. First love happens, then it ripens into God-seeking—cooperation hastens, obstruction only delays.
If you feel pulled to the master, the change has already started inside; love will grow into a search for God, and saying yes makes it quicker.
Why this matters practically
- Trust the inner pull rather than overthinking formal decisions.
- Soften resistance; cooperate with meditation, love, and presence to speed growth.
- Recognize restlessness as a sign that deeper transformation has begun.
