Ask Osho!

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.
Real law is your inner freedom to choose and grow; rules that crush that are against life.
Why this matters practically
- Take full responsibility for your choices and self-creation.
- Discern helpful guidance from oppressive, freedom-killing rules.
- Live more creatively and authentically by listening to your inner law.
