Do we have to transcend sex before achieving enlightenment?

outcome
"Embrace your natural energies joyously and without condemnation; true transcendence arises effortlessly when understanding blossoms, transforming love into a playful sharing rather than a compulsion."
According to Osho, you need not transcend sex—or anything—before enlightenment. Live your natural energies totally, joyously, without condemnation; forced transcendence breeds repression and blocks real growth. When understanding ripens, transcendence happens by itself: love shifts from biological compulsion to a playful sharing of energies, leaving you free—neither for nor against—able to enjoy without addiction or guilt.
You don’t have to stop sex to be enlightened; live naturally and aware, and the urge will transform by itself into freer, kinder energy.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents guilt and repression; encourages mindful, wholehearted living.
- Cultivates freedom from addiction: you can enjoy or not, without compulsion.
- Makes relationships more conscious—playful energy rather than mere biological drive.
