A video interview of Devakant where he speaks about music (“the queen of the arts”), his first spiritual experience, how he discovered Osho, how Osho worked on him, and about creativity and discipline.
It [my life with Osho] was a very intense experience and beautiful and oftentimes quite painful. In that a true master reveals things inside you that you don’t always want to see about yourself, like peeling off the layers of the personality.
That’s what the master does. He shows you a big mirror where you find out about yourself. The master constantly provokes you to absolutely be conscious of every action you do, every word you say, every thought you have. Nothing is hidden, nothing is unimportant.
It’s all part of the story, part of revealing who you are. And at the same time he was like a deep source of unconditional love that was always present there. And that unconditional love is a very transforming force. It’s like you’re exposing your worst parts and someone is totally loving you at the same time.
