Why do the wise extol freedom while the devotee celebrates with joy?

The wise extol freedom as the ultimate goal, while the devotee celebrates joy as the essence of their journey; both paths lead to the same profound realization of bliss.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Meditators talk about being free, lovers talk about being joyful, but they’re reaching the same place in different words.
Why this matters practically
- Pick the path (meditation or devotion) that fits you; both arrive at the same truth.
- Don’t chase pleasure-ideas; practice sincerely—bliss comes as a byproduct.
- Avoid word-traps: focus on experience (freedom/joy), not labels.
