Are discipline and individualism diametrically opposite?

Question

Accepted Answer

According to Osho, discipline and individualism are not opposites. He distinguishes egoic individualism from true individuality: the former is mere ego, the latter is egoless, integrated, ‘crystallized’ being. Real individuality flowers through conscious, self-chosen discipline—taking responsibility and sustained effort. Discipline isn’t imposed; it arises from your decision to grow. Without inner discipline, you remain fragmented, a chaotic crowd within.
