Ask Osho!

What is the cause of our miseries?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Your only misery arises from your isolation from God; remember your source, and you will find the key to your freedom."

According to Osho, there is only one misery: our isolation from God, forgetfulness of our source. All other sufferings are branches of this root. Man himself weaves the net of bondage and thus also holds the key to freedom. By decisively turning inward and reuniting with the divine—through awareness and love—we uproot the cause rather than trimming symptoms.
We hurt because we’re like fish out of water—cut off from our source; choose to return inside and reconnect, and the hurt fades.
Why this matters practically
- Stop chasing symptom-fixes; address the root disconnection.
- Take responsibility: your choice and practice can end bondage.
- Use daily meditation, prayer, and awareness to reconnect and find joy.
