According to Osho, bondage results from doubt and ego. Doubt fractures your being, keeping you trapped in hesitation and second-guessing, while ego builds walls of separation and self-importance that imprison consciousness. When these twin forces dominate, the natural flow of awareness is shackled. Freedom begins as doubt dissolves into trust and ego relaxes into humble, witnessing presence.
We feel stuck because we keep doubting and clinging to a big ‘me’; trust and quiet awareness set us free.
