How do freedom and law coexist?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Freedom and law are not opposites; true law is the inner order of existence that invites you to create your own essence. Embrace this inner law, and you will find that freedom expands choice, responsibility, and creativity."
According to Osho, freedom and law are not opposites because, for Buddha, freedom is the very law (dhamma/tao/logos) of life. True “law” is the inner order of existence that invites you to create your own essence; it expands choice, responsibility, and creativity. Man‑made, coercive rules that inhibit freedom contradict this law. Align with the inner law by consciously choosing and sculpting yourself.
