Is the desire to stay near someone a form of bondage?

Bondage and freedom are not about where you are, but how you are; when you act from inner unity, staying or leaving becomes a celebration of your spirit's effortless flow.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
If your heart is clear and at one, staying or going is free; if fear or inner fights push you, both become cages.
Why this matters practically
- Decide relationships and commitments by sensing clarity vs. compulsion, not external rules.
- Reduce anxiety by aligning with inner unity instead of debating places or people.
- Build integrity: make one wholehearted choice and stop oscillating.
