Core Insight:
According to Osho, lust is called the wise person’s enemy not as condemnation but as a factual warning: untransformed desire is smoke that obscures consciousness, drains life-force, blinds and weakens, turning you from the divine. Yet the same energy, rightly used—like manure spread in a garden—becomes creative self-energy (ojas), a friend. Its value depends on your awareness and skillful transformation.
