What is the subtle meaning of initiation and how many kinds of initiation are there?

Initiation is not bestowed by a guru; it is a sacred acceptance from the Divine, unfolding when you are truly ready. True initiation transforms your being, while false initiation remains a mere transaction between human hearts.

— Osho
According to Osho, initiation is not something a guru gives; it happens from the Divine when you are inwardly ready. Its subtle meaning is acceptancebeing 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.
