Is there any truth to the allegations that the left-hand path is propagated?

definition
"Nothing in life is inherently bad; even anger and desire can be transformed into a divine experience through conscious awareness."
According to Osho, the accusations contain a grain of truth: he affirms the left-hand insight that nothing in life is inherently bad—anger, desire, sex can be skillfully transformed and oriented toward the divine. He teaches denying nothing and using every energy alchemically. Yet the charges exaggerate; he does not preach indulgence but conscious transformation, where even 'poison' becomes nectar through awareness.
There’s a little truth: don’t reject anything—use every feeling and energy wisely to grow toward God, not to indulge.
Why this matters practically
- Face emotions and desires without repression, then redirect them creatively.
- Practice aware, skillful living so harmful impulses become fuel for growth.
- Let honest questioning mature into authentic trust and wholeness.
