#OSHO

The moment you #renounce #responsibilities you also renounce #freedom. These are the complexities of life: freedom and responsibilities remain and go away together.

More you love freedom, more you will be ready to #accept responsibilities.

But outside the world, outside the #society, there is no possibility of any #responsibility. And it has to be remembered that all that we learn, we learn through being #responsible.

#Escaping to the #forest and the #mountains, you are simply escaping from a learning situation.

In a cave in the Himalayas you won’t have any responsibility, but remember, without #responsibility you cannot #grow; your #consciousness will remain #stuck.

The #past has destroyed the beauty of the word #responsibility. They have made it almost equivalent to #duty; it is not really so.

You have to break it in two: #response and #ability.

You can act in two ways.

The #reaction comes out of your past conditioning; it is mechanical. The #response comes out of your presence, #awareness, #consciousness; it is non-mechanical.

You are not following any #order or #commandment, you are simply following your awareness.
