Core Insight:
According to Osho, using original names and affectionate honorifics like 'ji', 'babu', or 'bhai' signifies continuity, love and mutual respect, not hierarchy. Names are irrelevant to sannyas, which is an inner evolution; the essence is your being, not your label. He often keeps old names for longtime disciples because nothing essential changed; enlightenment does not depend on nomenclature, and respect is reciprocal, not superior-inferior.
