What are bondage and liberation in the context of divine and demonic wealth?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Bondage is the prison of the mind, built by demonic wealth, while liberation is the boundless ocean of bliss created by divine wealth."
According to Osho, bondage is the contracted state of consciousness hemmed in by limits—body, death, and, above all, demonic wealth like greed, anger, fear—which multiply entanglements. Liberation is the shoreless expansion of bliss, an open, boundaryless awareness. Divine wealth—non-greed, non-anger, fearlessness and related virtues—dissolves the walls, letting consciousness expand infinitely; demonic wealth builds them.
Bondage is when greed, anger, and fear trap you; liberation is when contentment, kindness, and courage open you up like the sky.
Why this matters practically
- Identify and drop habits (greed, anger, fear) that shrink your inner space.
- Cultivate contentment, friendliness, and courage to feel expansive and free.
- Choose actions that loosen entanglements rather than tighten them.
