You Are in Prison and You Think You Are Free

By Osho

This book is about the starting point of all personal and spiritual growth, the realization of your own reality.

If you wish to get out of prison - the first thing you must do is realize that you are in prison... or you are the prison. Osho emphasizes this as something to be always remembered as one of the first principles for any seeker of truth.

You Are in Prison

And You Think

You Are Free

Osho,

George Gurdjieff has said: You are in prison. If you wish to get out of prison, the first thing you must do is realize that you are in prison. If you think you are free, you can’t escape.

What are the prisons that I call home?

George Gurdjieff is one of the most significant masters of this age. He is unique in many ways, nobody has said things in the contemporary world the way Gurdjieff has said them. He is almost like another Bodhidharma or Chuang Tzu, apparently absurd but in reality giving great pointers towards the liberation of human consciousness.

You are asking about one of his significant statements. He often used to say, You are in prison. Sometimes he went even more deeply into the reality of it, and instead of saying, You are in prison, he would say, You are the prison. That is more true.

If you wish to get out of prison – or better to say, if you don’t want to be a prison – the first thing you must do is realize that you are in prison, or that you are the prison. For any seeker of truth, this is something to always remember as one of the first principles.

The tendency of the human mind is to deny those things
