What is your view on immorality?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Immorality is not the disobedience of rules, but the unconsciousness that leads us to harm ourselves and others; when we awaken to our true being, compassion naturally arises, rendering the very notion of immorality obsolete."
According to Osho, ‘immorality’ is not disobeying borrowed rules but living unconsciously—hurting yourself or others because you’re asleep, repressed, or hypocritical. Social moral codes create guilt and perversion; awareness, love, and responsibility flower into natural morality. When you are present and true to your being, compassion arises by itself; then the question of immorality disappears, because harm becomes impossible.

- Reduces hypocrisy and repression; channels energy into creativity and care.
