According to Osho, understanding a living master’s words is difficult because real understanding requires the same witnessing consciousness as the seer; otherwise the learned mind projects borrowed meanings. Scriptures seem “easy” because you can interpret them to fit your ego, but a living teaching exposes pseudo-humility and demands true ignorance—dropping accumulated knowledge—so transformation, not commentary, becomes necessary.
Books let your mind pretend it knows; a living teacher makes you drop what you think you know and feel truth directly.
