Ask Osho!

What is the significance of a miracle in accepting a spiritual teacher?

Synthesized from Source definition

"A true spiritual teacher awakens your insight, not your wonder; seek transformation, not spectacle."

According to Osho, miracles have no spiritual significance; they neither occur nor prove a teacher’s authenticity. What passes as a “miracle” is exploitation of ignorance and stagecraft to impress the gullible. A true guide aligns with the law of life (dharma) and awakens insight, not wonder. Choose a teacher by inner transformation, clarity, and presence—not spectacles.
Don’t trust magic tricks; choose a teacher who helps you grow wiser and kinder inside.
Why this matters practically
- Protects you from charlatans who exploit belief and money.
- Shifts focus from outer shows to inner awareness and transformation.
