According to Osho, dependence makes you a slave: you grow fearful, cling, and eventually need the drama of hate to escape your own promises. It drains time and energy that should nourish meditation. He urges playful freedom—love as gratitude and self-discovery, not bondage—so you can come and go without conflict, growing in compassion rather than oscillating between attachment and aversion.
Depending on others ties you in knots and wastes your energy; being free lets you love without getting stuck.
