According to Osho, desire arises from the soul’s own absolute freedom: pure awareness can choose to dream, forget, and create—this power is maya. The world exists because you desired it; the same freedom can end desire instantly or revive it again. There was never real separation—awakening is simply re-remembering, yet freedom always allows forgetting again.
Desire began because the free soul chose to play a dream of wanting—and it can stop that game anytime.
