According to Osho, vows have no intrinsic value; only awareness transforms. A vow signals inner unconsciousness and outsources discipline to social pressure and ego-prestige. Liars lean on oaths; the truthful need none. Real change arises when you see clearly—then the habit drops without witnesses, promises, or struggle. Handing your authority to public pledges breeds hypocrisy; reclaim it through alertness.
Don’t rely on promises to others; look clearly inside, and what’s false will fall away by itself.
