Ask Osho!

Why is it so difficult to be in a state of let-go?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"To let go is to defy the conditioning of a society that thrives on productivity; only in surrender can we reclaim our sensitivity and creativity."

According to Osho, it’s difficult to be in let-go because society conditions us into workaholism, exploiting our basic needs to keep us as productive machines. This drains time, sensitivity, and space for art or meditation—real doorways to surrender. A relaxed, non-utilitarian being threatens the exploitative order, so fear, scarcity, and moralism are imposed to block inner ease.
We’re pushed to work and worry so much that we forget how to relax and trust life.
Why this matters practically
- Question guilt-driven productivity and reclaim time for silence, rest, and play.
- Practice small daily pauses (meditation, music, nature) to rebuild inner ease.
- Simplify needs to reduce fear and create room for surrender.
