Is sadhana only necessary so long as there is lust and desire?

Sadhana is a medicine for the disease of desire; use it until health arrives, but remember, it is not the goal—release it when dawn breaks.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Use spiritual practice like medicine: take it when you’re sick with desire, and stop when you’re well, or it will make you sick again.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents attachment to practices that can become new ego traps.
- Teaches timing: practice when needed, let go when peace arises.
- Guides you to balance, neither worldly indulgence nor rigid austerity.
