Has the soul become bound because of lust?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The soul is inherently free, and even lust is merely an expression of that freedom; bondage arises only from misunderstanding and identification."
According to Osho, the soul cannot be bound by lust; it is inherently free—so free that even lust is an expression of its freedom. Bondage arises only from misunderstanding and identification. With awareness, the same energy can be witnessed and allowed to transform, but the soul itself remains untouched, uncontaminated, ever-liberated.
Lust doesn’t trap your true self; your true self is always free.
