Does the advice to not hold on to thoughts apply to good thoughts as well?

All thoughts, whether virtuous or vicious, are borrowed chains; true freedom lies in emptying the mind and resting in pure, contentless awareness.

— Osho
According to Osho, yes—release even “good” thoughts. All thoughts, whether virtuous or vicious, are borrowed chains that veil your real being; iron or gold, chains are chains. Spiritual freedom arises not from accumulating religious ideas but from emptying the mind of all conditioning, resting in pure, contentless awareness where, in the silence, you meet your true self—and God.

Let go of every thought, even the nice ones, so your quiet mind can show you who you really are.
