According to Osho, life feels empty when you adopt second‑hand ideals—like celibacy as a goal—and cut yourself off from life’s totality. Repression born of fear, parental conditioning and borrowed scriptures dries your energy and enthusiasm. Brahmacharya is not a target but a fragrance that arises after you have lived love, desire, joy and pain consciously. Skipping experience breeds boredom; living fully distills vitality.
You feel dull because you’re avoiding real life to follow borrowed rules; live and learn honestly, and energy returns on its own.
