According to Osho, formal religions domesticate the unknown by preaching renunciation and condemning worldly love, which cripples creativity and fractures humanity. Unused, neutral energy then turns destructive—fueling poverty, violence, and war—because descending into destructiveness is easier than the creative climb. Mystery should ignite art, love, and inquiry, not repression; otherwise, society sacrifices people to abstractions like nation and creed.
When life’s mystery is denied and creativity is suppressed, our energy turns harmful—so choose love, art, and honest inquiry instead of renunciation.
