According to Osho, repression means living against your own nature—doing what you never wanted, being who you are not. It is self-destruction, a slow suicide that poisons vitality and blocks the higher by denying the lower. Instead, express yourself: trust body, heart, intelligence, and spontaneity. Through natural expression—creativity, joy, even sexual energy—the lotus of consciousness grows and the divine is revealed.
Repression is when you hide your real self and feelings, which slowly hurts you; be natural and express your joy to truly grow.
