What is the relationship between freedom and letting go?

Freedom is the natural outcome of letting go; when the ego dissolves, surrender becomes effortless and existence flows through you.

— Osho
According to Osho, freedom is choiceless awareness in which the egoic chooser disappears, and then let-go happens by itself—the recognition that existence already flows this way. Let-go and surrender are not actions but realizations; once they happen, the fight ends and self dissolves. Surrender removes hindrances; it flowers into freedom, while in true freedom one naturally relaxes into let-go.

When you stop trying to control life with your ego, you notice it already flows; relaxing into that flow is letting go, and that reveals real freedom.
