Ask Osho!

Why are men and women kept apart in ashramas?

Synthesized from Source definition

"True celibacy is not born from repression but from the celebration of love and the meeting of energies, leading us beyond duality into wholeness."

Old ashrams separate men and women out of fear, but Osho says letting them meet brings joyful growth and, eventually, real peace.
Why this matters practically
- Replace repression with conscious, respectful relating that grows awareness.
- Honor differences and co-education to keep energy creative and intelligent.
- Use relationships as a path to transcendence, not an obstacle.
