What is the view on lust?

Lust is not to be suppressed but understood and transformed; it is the pure life-energy that, when refined, can guide us toward truth.

— Osho
According to Osho, lust is pure life-energy that should not be suppressed but lovingly understood and transformed. Sex is not opposed to brahmacharya; brahmacharya is sex refined. No energy is ever destroyed—hatred can become love, cruelty compassion. Through awareness, friendship with one’s passions, and a creative religious approach, base impulses are alchemized into fragrance, guiding life toward truth.

Don’t fight lust—get to know it kindly so it can change into love, clarity, and strength.
