outcome
"Only by living life totally—embracing its pleasures and pains—can you transcend desire and reach a deeper, authentic enlightenment."
According to Osho, yes: only by living life totally—tasting its pleasures and pains, anger and love—do desires ripen and fall away; repression keeps their seeds alive. Full experience matures you into seedless samadhi, making enlightenment authentic rather than impotent. Having lived all dimensions, your realization—and especially its expression—becomes richer, and you transcend the world naturally, without forced renunciation or unfinished longings.
Live life fully so your cravings finish themselves and you can let go easily.
