Why is the subject of sex chosen for discussion?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"To embrace love and truth, we must first dismantle the falsehoods surrounding sex, for it is the raw energy that, when transformed, blossoms into the divine."
According to Osho, the subject of sex is chosen because genuine talk of love and truth is impossible while society clings to false notions about kama. Sex is the raw energy that, rightly understood and transformed—not repressed—flowers as love. To move toward truth, we must first break untruths; therefore he begins with sex to clear guilt and taboo, and to show the path of conscious transformation.
We start with sex because it’s the basic energy that can turn into love, and we must drop wrong ideas about it to grow honestly.
Why this matters practically
- Releases guilt and taboo so energy can blossom as love, creativity, and compassion.
- Replaces hypocrisy with honest understanding, making growth practical.
- Emphasizes transformation (not suppression) as a clear method for inner change.
