According to Osho, you’ll know freedom from animal/sensual instincts not by a felt sense of ‘freedom’—which only exists against slavery—but by living moment to moment, without hankering. Sensuality (obsessive, future-oriented craving) falls away; sensuousness (clear, present sensitivity) flowers. The mind stops pre-arranging pleasures; the senses are alive, enjoyment is immediate, and there’s neither bondage nor the idea of being free.
You’re free when you’re no longer chasing or planning pleasures, and you just feel what’s here now with clear, unobsessed senses.
