How to choose a Master and a Practitioner?

Buddhists say that we may have accumulated a certain amount of good karma in past lives, which is why we encounter teachings in this life. And when we meet these teachings, we fully rely on the knowledge of the master, the wisdom of the teachings, and follow the path of Dharma — the universal law of existence.

However, I believe that, ultimately, knowledge comes from one source — from within yourself. The first thing that arrives is the external teaching. You need a master to follow, someone you trust.

In my case, it was Osho. He taught by the principle of totality.

The essence of totality is that you must forget everything that has ever bothered you and give your full attention to the action you are performing. If you can do this, you truly enter the present moment. Your consciousness shifts, you begin to feel a sense of expansion, and something changes within. Once this happens, there's no going back — you understand that a piece of wisdom has taken root in you.

You are drawn to what you are ready for! There’s no need to blame past teachers for giving practices that don’t seem to work. That's normal too.

In the end, if the search is there — if you are burning with the desire to gain this knowledge — it will come to you. It will find its way.

So, my friends, there’s no need to rush! If you’ve decided to embark on the path of learning, be fully committed, go ahead and try it! Once you've gained experience, accept it as it is. If you want to continue on this path, and you feel aligned with the master, keep going. If not, keep searching — the world is vast. Read the works of masters who have made an impact.

But for this to truly happen, for it to ripen within you, it takes time. You must work on yourself, observe, and move towards an inner opening. I don’t see any other way.

Light and Love  🙏💖
