According to Osho, vows like ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya, and aparigraha are not seeds but flowers—the effortless fragrances that bloom from samadhi. Practiced as moral willpower, they become counterfeit, repressive, even subtly violent. When awareness awakens and the sense of separation dissolves, coercion drops by itself: truth, nonviolence, chastity, non-stealing, and non-possessiveness arise naturally. Therefore, cultivate samadhi; virtues will follow organically.
Grow the root of meditation (samadhi) and the fruits—kindness, honesty, restraint, and simplicity—appear on their own; forcing them first only makes fake plastic fruits.
