Why is there resistance to thinking for ourselves?

Freedom arises not from thinking more, but from quieting the mind; in the stillness of choiceless awareness, true clarity and spontaneous action emerge.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Our heads are full of other people’s ideas, so we can’t see clearly; when we quiet the mind, we naturally know what to do.
Why this matters practically
- Practice daily silence or meditation to reduce mental noise and regain clarity.
- Notice and question beliefs inherited from family, teachers, religion, and culture.
- Act from present-moment awareness instead of seeking approval or external guidance.
