Are we merely puppets in Osho's hand?

To surrender to the divine will is not to become a puppet, but to discover the highest freedom in being an instrument of existence. In this total trust, the ego dissolves, and love and prayer become your true essence.

— Osho
According to Osho, you are not a puppet by default; yet choosing to become one—in the hands of God/Existence—surrendering the ego and letting the divine will move you—is the highest freedom. To be a 'puppet' means being an instrument, dropping personal will, and trusting existence completely. This total surrender, learned with the Master, dissolves conflict and fulfills love and prayer.

You’re not forced, but if you freely let God/existence lead and drop your ego, life becomes lighter, peaceful, and full of love.
