"My vision of freedom is to be yourself.
"It is not a question of getting freedom from something...."

Osho continues:
"The freedom to do anything you want to do is also not the freedom I am talking about.
"My vision of freedom is to be yourself.
"It is not a question of getting freedom from something...."
"The freedom to do anything you want is not freedom either, because wanting, desiring to do something, arises out of the mind – and mind is your bondage.
"The true freedom certainly comes after choiceless awareness, but after choiceless awareness the freedom is neither dependent on things nor dependent on doing something."
"The freedom that follows choiceless awareness is the freedom just to be yourself. And you are yourself already, you are born with it; hence it is not dependent on anything else. Nobody can give it to you and nobody can take it from you. A sword can cut your head but it cannot cut your freedom, your being.
"It is another way of saying that you are centered, rooted in your natural, existential self. It has nothing to do with outside.
"Freedom from things is dependent on the outside. Freedom to do something is also dependent on the outside. Freedom to be ultimately pure has not to be dependent on anything outside you.
"You are born as freedom.
"It is just that you have been conditioned to forget it.
"Layers upon layers of conditionings have made you a puppet. The strings are in somebody else's hands.
"If you are a Christian, you are a puppet. Your strings are in the hand of a God which does not exist, so just to give you the sense that God exists there are prophets, messiahs, representing God. They represent nobody. They are just egoistic people – and even ego wants to reduce you to a puppet.
"They tell you what to do, they give you the Ten Commandments. They give you your personality – that you are a Christian, a Jew, a Hindu, a Mohammedan. They give you your so-called knowledge. And naturally, under the great burden which they start giving you from the very beginning of your childhood, the Himalayan load you are carrying – underneath it, hidden, repressed, is your natural self.
"If you can get rid of all conditionings, if you can think that you are neither a communist nor a fascist, that you are neither a Christian nor a Mohammedan. You were not born a Christian or Mohammedan; you were born just pure, innocent consciousness.
"To be again in that purity, in that innocence, in that consciousness, is what I mean be freedom.
"Freedom is the ultimate experience of life.
"There is nothing higher than that.
"And out of freedom many flowers blossom in you.
"Love is the flowering of your freedom.
"Compassion, another flowering of your freedom."
