According to Osho, when you choose awareness over societal acceptance, you stop collaborating with conditioning that manufactures cowards. You trust your own intelligence, question authority, and act from courage, not obedience. This invites resistance—from family, teachers, priests—but births freedom, integrity, and real strength. You may lose approval, yet you gain yourself and cease living as a slave.
Picking awareness means using your own guts even if others frown, so you become free and strong inside.
