According to Osho, a guru is not a giver of doctrines but a living mirror who awakens your own awareness. The Master’s presence functions as a catalytic device—dissolving ego, deconditioning the mind, and turning you inward. Through trust, love, and silent communion (satsang), you borrow the Master’s clarity until your inner guru flowers—at which point even the outer master can be lovingly transcended.
A guru helps you wake up to your own truth by reflecting you back to yourself, not by handing you rules.
