"The attitude of not surrendering is in everyone. It is something natural. It simply means that nature wants you to be yourself, not somebody else's idea of you.
"So when such a situation arises in..."

Osho continues:
"So when such a situation arises in..."
"There is nothing wrong in it. It is perfectly good that you did not surrender, that you resisted, that you kept your identity safe and well guarded.
"As far as the world is concerned, up to this point everything is absolutely right. The problem arises only with the wrong kind of teacher, who again asks you to surrender.
"The right master never asks you to surrender. His very presence is enough.
"There is no need for him to ask for any surrender. Just in his presence you feel so perfectly accepted that the question of rejecting him, the question of creating a wall between him and you, does not arise. There is no passive resistance.
"The problem arises only if you happen to be with a wrong kind of teacher; one who is not a master, one who has not a presence, one who has not yet realized himself, one who is simply repeating somebody else's words, quoting scriptures – the kind of man who is between inverted commas. He will insist for surrender.
"And anybody who insists on surrender, resist him, because the very effort by anybody to impose himself upon somebody else is against human dignity.
"I don't want you to surrender. I want you to be yourself, purely and simply just your natural being. That's enough. It will create the bridge between me and you.
"I am not here to enslave you spiritually.
"I am here to make you free from all spiritual enslavement.
"The people who have been asking for surrender are asking for slavery in the name of spirituality. And millions of people on the earth are just living in a spiritual slavery – with different names – Christians, Hindus, Jews, Buddhists. It doesn't matter what name, but they have surrendered their freedom, they have surrendered their awareness, they have surrendered their capacity to choose what is right and what is wrong.
"The real master simply teaches you what is right and what is wrong. To accept it or not is simply left to your intelligence, not to your surrender.
"I need your intelligence, not your surrender. I need your consciousness, not your slavery.
"So there is no problem at all."
