If the male and female forces in a person become equal, would that power be neutral or impotent?

“

In the balance of masculine and feminine energies lies not impotence, but the profound wholeness of existence, transcending duality and revealing the essence of the divine.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source outcome
Core Insight:
According to Osho, when the masculine and feminine energies balance at fifty–fifty, sexuality drops: the forces neutralize one another, producing a state of asexual “impotence” (napunsak) at the bodily level. Yet this neutrality is not weakness; it mirrors Brahman/Ardhanarishvara—impartial, whole, beyond male and female—the very source of both. Physiological balance cancels sex; spiritual balance reveals omnipotent wholeness.
If your inner boy and girl are perfectly tied, the sex pull turns off; it's not broken, it's your whole self showing up.
Why this matters practically
- Normalizes asexuality or gender shifts as energetic balance, reducing shame.
- Shifts focus from roles to inner wholeness via meditation and integration.
- Helps relate to others beyond rigid gender expectations.
