What is the need for secrecy in master-disciple relationships and ordinary human relationships?

Question

Accepted Answer

According to Osho, the inner side of being must remain private; making it public erodes the soul and leaves one dependent on others’ opinions. Secrecy preserves intimacy, depth, and authenticity—in love as in the master‑disciple bond—so the inner flower can open without the glare of spectators. Like darkness sharpening other senses, protected privacy allows trust, surrender, and transformation; exposure turns sacred encounters into performance and futility.
