According to Osho, religion is born of courage; the same courage, misdirected by ego, produces adharma. Courage without ego moves Godward; with ego it descends into hell. Hence even sinners possess the essential fuel; when their ego is shattered—as with Angulimala by Buddha—their intact courage pivots instantly toward truth. Spiritual work refines, redirects, not suppresses, courage.
Courage is like fire: without ego it warms and guides you to God; with ego it burns and hurts.
