They say, ”Man is wrong; man should change himself,” yet no one stands up to question whether
things aren’t like they are because our culture and religion, unable to fill man with love after ten
thousand years, are based on false values.
Love is within man. It is not imported from the outside. It is not a commodity to be purchased when
we go to the markets. It is there as the fragrance of life. It is inside everyone. The search for love,
the wooing of love, is not a positive action; it is not an overt act whereby you have to go somewhere
and draw it out.
Love is shut up inside man; it need only be released.
Love is also inside us. Love is our inherent nature.
Nothing can stifle love. Love is inevitable. Love is our nature.
The natural obstructions, the apparent
oppositions seen in nature, are challenges to arouse energy; they serve as clarion calls to arouse
what is latent inside
Love is the transformation of sex energy.
Diamonds and coal are the same: they are two points on a journey by
the same element.
Another important consideration is that man cannot be separated from sex. Sex is his primary point;
he is born of it.
But the tongue never lies. Words only pop out of one’s mouth if there is something on one’s mind;
the tongue never makes a mistake.
We
are what our weaknesses are. But we decide to curb them; we resolve to fight against them – and
naturally, this becomes a source of subconscious conflict.
But one should always be wary of those who swear because there is something much deeper
involved when one resolves something.
Restrained people
are very dangerous, because a live volcano exists inside them. Outwardly they are rigid and full of
restraint, while their urge to let go is tightly harnessed inside.
Because of condemnation, sex
has become an obsession, a disease, a perversion. It has become poisoned.
At this stage I wish to give you the first principle. If you want to know the elemental truth about love,
the first requisite is to accept the sacredness of sex, to accept the divinity of sex in the same way
you accept God’s existence – with an open heart.And the more fully you accept sex with an open
heart and mind, the freer you will be of it.
In nature, there is a fundamental unity, a harmony. The natural obstructions, the apparent
oppositions seen in nature, are challenges to arouse energy; they serve as clarion calls to arouse
what is latent inside. There is no disharmony in nature.
I wish to draw your attention to the fact that the basic obstructions are man-made, are created by
man himself – otherwise the river of love would flow freely and reach the ocean of God.
Love is the transformation of sex energy. The
flowering of love is from the seed of sex.
A quarrel between man and his energy has been forced upon him. Man has been taught to
fight against his sex energy, to oppose his sex urges.
If God considers sex as sin, then there is no
greater sinner than God in this world, no greater sinner in this universe.
What I want to say is this: sex is divine. The primal energy of sex has the reflection of God in it. It is
obvious: it is the energy that creates new life. And that is the greatest, most mysterious force of all.
And as sinful and irreverent as your approach is, that is how ugly
and sinful the sex that confronts you will be.
And the more fully you accept sex with an open
heart and mind, the freer you will be of it.
The total acceptance of life, of all that is natural in life, of all that
is God-given in life, will lead you to the highest realms of divinity – to heights that are unknown, to
heights that are sublime
