According to Osho, any word can mislead, including 'indulgence', but if one must err, indulgence is the healthier mistake. Lived experience gives feedback: excess brings pain and naturally ripens into intelligent renunciation, whereas imposed renunciation dries the being and blocks growth. Choose the delusion with a way back; vitality and clarity transform indulgence into effortless celibacy, not vice versa, provided vision remains clear.
Yes—words can confuse, but it’s safer to learn by tasting life and then naturally choosing less than to force denial and wither inside.
