Empathy means there is no longer distance. Now the disciple is drowned in the master. He has become a devotee. Now the master is drowned in the disciple. They are not separate entities any more. They have reached the same rhythm of being, they pulsate in synchronicity.
Then there is understanding and that understanding liberates, and that understanding is immediate. You see the master, you look into his eyes, you hear his words, you see him moving, his gestures… And they are immediately understood without any translation by the mind. The mind no longer functions as a mediator. It is direct communion, not even communication but communion.
The first step is that of a student, curious but still a spectator, far away, collecting information, knowledge. The second step is that of a disciple, no longer a spectator, but a participant; no longer interested in knowledge, but tremendously interested in knowing. And the third step is that of a devotee, utterly one with the master, partaking of his being, drinking out of his inexhaustible source, drunk – drunk with the divine.
Only the devotee understands absolutely. The disciple understands a little bit. The student only hears mere words.
Remember, you have to pass through these stages too. And it all depends on you. One can remain a student forever. If you keep a distance, if you are afraid to come close, you will be here and yet not here.
Come closer, spiritually closer. Bring your beings, unafraid, closer to the master, closer to his light. Yes, that light is not only light, it is fire too. It is going to consume you. Be consumed, because in that fire there is great hope of a rebirth.
These small Zen stories on the surface look just like ordinary anecdotes. They are not. They carry immense significance. Before we enter into the story, a few things have to be understood.
The other day there was a question from Satsanga. He said, “Osho, why are you not a little more diplomatic with the politicians and the priests, because that will save us a lot of trouble?”
