Why are the enlightened ones not able to bestow nirvana upon everyone?

Nirvana cannot be given; it is the blossoming of your own inner being, requiring a deep, personal longing and transformation that cannot be imposed by even the greatest of masters.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
You can’t hand someone awakening like a gift; they must truly want it and do the inner work themselves.
Why this matters practically
- Take responsibility: commit to practice, meditation, and self-inquiry.
- Loosen attachments and cravings that block inner freedom.
- Cultivate sincere, urgent longing—readiness makes any guidance effective.
