According to Osho, obsession is a self-created hypnosis where you pour disproportionate attention and energy into one thing until it becomes your whole life, shrinking you to one dimension. Sex, food, money, or power can obsess—positively or negatively. Wisdom is proportion: let every aspect have its place so life becomes a rich, many-sided orchestra, not a single note.
It’s when one desire or thought takes over so much that you forget the rest of life; balance means giving everything its right place.
