Ask Osho!

Should I give up my attachment to your teachings as a bad habit?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Let your attachment to my teachings be a steadfast habit, for it is better to be addicted to awareness than to casually embrace virtue."

According to Osho, don’t try to drop your “attachment” to his teachings; let them become your so‑called bad habit. Good habits are easily abandoned, but a bad habit clings—and that steadfastness protects your meditation and sannyas from worldly corruption. Better be “addicted” to awareness than casually virtuous; allow this persistent pull to transform you from within.
If loving these teachings feels like a stubborn habit, keep it—it helps you stay on the path until it changes you.
Why this matters practically
- Reframes guilt about devotion into useful commitment.
- Builds consistency so practice survives distractions and temptations.
- Uses attachment as fuel for inner transformation.
