According to Osho, the body is discussed because it is the living doorway to consciousness—the temple where energy, senses, and breath can be witnessed and transformed. Denying or condemning the body creates a split; honoring it with awareness integrates body-mind, stabilizes energy, and makes meditation real. Start from the gross (body) to move to the subtle (being).
Your body is the starting place—treat it with aware kindness and it opens the door to inner peace and wisdom.
