Does the practice of resolve involve any repression or bodily mortification?

According to Osho, resolve is not repression or bodily mortification when it is undertaken positively—to expand awareness of resolve itself—not as a tactic to fight a habit. Using vows (silence, fasting) to suppress tendencies creates harmful repression; using them as neutral experiments in keeping a promise is supportive. His approach expresses the repressed, not pushes it down.
