What should I do when I feel a revolt against my guru?

When you feel a revolt against your guru, do not repress it; instead, bring it into the light of awareness, for rebellion can become the fuel for your awakening.

— Osho
According to Osho, when revolt against your guru arises, don’t repress it—watch it. Bring it into the light: avoid gossip, inquire directly, and examine its layers—wounded pride, borrowed fear, or a real question. Sit silently, breathe, feel the heat, and let awareness clarify. If it’s hurt, drop it; if borrowed, return it; if true inquiry, speak it. Thus rebellion becomes fuel for awakening, not poison.

When you feel upset with your guru, don’t hide it or spread it—calmly watch it, see if it’s hurt pride or a real question, and then speak to them openly.
