Core Insight:
According to Osho, man lost the capacity for sublimation because modern civilization massively represses natural energies—especially sex—to fuel armies, discipline, and productivity. In Patanjali’s simple, childlike era energy flowed innocently; now repression closes natural doors and forces energy into anger, violence, and perversion. With societies mutually threatened, they cannot allow free love; thus energy cannot rise organically into higher creativity, meditation, or compassion.
