According to Osho, initiation is not something a guru gives; it happens from the Divine when you are inwardly ready. Its subtle meaning is acceptance—being received by the Divine, a life-changing transformation witnessed by the master. There are two kinds: true initiation (a Divine happening) and false initiation (a human transaction of guru and disciple without the Divine).
Initiation is when God quietly says “yes” inside you; it happens by itself when you’re ready, not because a guru performs a ritual.
