- extracted from "A Sudden Clash Of Thunder - OSHO"
Freedom creates fear. People talk about freedom but they are afraid. And a man is not yet a man if he is afraid of freedom. I give you freedom, I don't give you security. I give you understanding. I don't give you knowledge. Knowledge will make you certain.
This very readiness to remain in uncertainty is courage. This very readiness to be in uncertainty is trust. An intelligent person is one who remains alert whatsoever the situation and responds to it with his whole heart.
If you understand, insecurity is an intrinsic part of life. It makes life a freedom, a continuous surprise. One never knows what is going to happen. It keeps you continuously in wonder. Don't call it uncertainty -- call it wonder. Don't call it insecurity -- call it freedom.
