What makes a master special and worthy of surrender?

A true master is not special; he is utterly ordinary, inviting you to surrender your false ego and discover the divine that permeates all of existence.

— Osho
According to Osho, no master is “special”—specialness is an ego idea. A true master is utterly ordinary, a nobody, and serves only as an excuse for you to surrender your false ego. Surrender is one-way; the master takes nothing. If you can yield to ordinariness itself, you dissolve identification and discover the divine that is everywhere—either all is special or nothing is.

A real master isn’t special; they just help you drop your pretend “big me,” and that letting go is what transforms you.
