Ask Osho!

What is the impact of former conditioning on the expression of truth in enlightened beings?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Even enlightened beings can be shackled by their past conditioning; true freedom arises when we decondition ourselves, allowing our truth to flow fresh and unpatterned."

According to Osho, even enlightened beings can remain partially bound by their past social conditioning; it colors and limits how their truth is expressed, dragging their awakening below its highest potential. He calls this a flaw and prescribes deconditioning—through therapy to dismantle programs and meditation to root in inner light—so truth flows fresh, unpatterned, beyond scriptures, as a complete, integrated human.
Even if you wake up, old habits and culture can still shape your words; drop them through healing and meditation so your inner light speaks clearly.
Why this matters practically
- Spot leftover cultural biases even after deep insights.
- Use deconditioning (therapy) and meditation to free yourself.
- Trust your own inner light instead of borrowed scripts.
