Core Insight:
According to Osho, tantra is not indulgence; it is the only way out of indulgence and compulsive sexuality. Rather than repressing or escaping, tantra invites total awareness of what is, so the energy bound in sex is understood and naturally transformed. Avoid both extremes—repression and excess—and stand in a watchful, loving middle. Through understanding, energy is released; from the mud, the lotus of freedom grows.
