According to Osho, the task of a spiritual teacher is to 'kiss frogs': to lovingly shock you out of the witch’s spell of conditioning so your hidden prince—your original, radiant being—can reappear. The master’s presence, love, and insight act as the catalytic kiss that reminds, awakens, and restores you to your true nature, so life can unfold in its natural joy.
A real teacher gives you a loving jolt that helps you remember you’re not a frog but a prince/princess inside.
