According to Osho, conditioning is society’s and parents’ attempt to live through you by installing perfectionist ambitions and second‑hand beliefs. This borrowed mind severs you from your natural being, creating chronic tension, guilt, and frustration, the soil of neurosis. Love would not condition; it would allow uniqueness. Freedom from conditioning—dropping imposed ideals and identities—restores sanity, ease, and authentic growth.
When others fill your head with their dreams, you chase perfection and feel tight and unhappy; being yourself lets you relax.
