According to Osho, the desire to stay near someone is bondage only when it clashes with your own inner movement—when fear, obsession, or compulsion drives you. Bondage and freedom are attitudes, not locations. Act from inner unity and total acceptance—then staying or leaving is freedom; act from inner conflict, and either choice becomes bondage. Attend to your spirit’s effortless flow.
If your heart is clear and at one, staying or going is free; if fear or inner fights push you, both become cages.
